AMMA 108 NAMES SERIES

You may begin not being able to recite it well at all, as it is in sanskrit. Then, there is chanting and Amma recommends us to chant the Lalita Sahasranama as it is very beneficial spiritually to do so. Usually spiritual disciplines are done early in the morning before the sun rises, but if you get up at irregular times for work, you should not by any means compromise your spiritual disciplines, and you should attempt do them as early as possible when time permits.ДЄ typical Amma satsang consisits of studying scripture or Her teachings or watching a video or somthing of this nature which mentally makes us think of Her. It is a good idea to do your sadhana (Spiritual Disciplines) after you have awaken and bathed and before you've taken breakfast. If you visit the links on the left of this page under the navigation menu you will find a link to 'daily practices'. Perhaps you live a great distance from any formal satsang, then perhaps this online version will be helpful to your spiritual advancement. In doing so I have attempted to put together a sort of online version so you can hold satsangs in your home daily or weekly or when ever time permits irregardless of where you may be residing at.

So we're a spiritual group our focus being on Amma.Д«elow I have outlined a typical satsang meeting.

Д«asically, if you are not familiar with a satsang, the very word stems from the Sanskrit language, originating out of the Indian Sub-continent, and comprises two words: Sat (Truth) and Sang (Company) so a satsang is a group of people who come together to associate in truth about god, or spirituality. Other wise we meet outdoors in the rural country side in Puryear, Tennessee at the following address: 35 Perkins Road, Puryear TN, 38251.

When Murray State University (Murray, Kentucky) is in session for the Fall and Spring terms we usually meet on campus in the Curris Center, as it is more convenient for students and people living in the city limits with limited transportation means. However when Amma is touring in the United States we usually don't meet as we are usually traveling to various venues to take Her darshan and associate with other devotees and share in Her activities. Usually we meet every first Sunday of each month. Also, you'll find information about our local meeting times and spots. You can then use the remaining 7 days to review and replay the material as needed.On this site you'll find out information about who Amma is, and how she is making an impact on the lives of people around the world. This will allow for a continued flow in learning that will facilitate easier absorption of the material. It is highly recommend that you also follow a 2 day retreat format for a more immersive experience. This retreat was originally offered in a 2 day retreat format. The intention of this retreat is that you can have a similar experience to those who take them in the Amritapuri Ashram. The retreat will also consist of guided devotional practices like chanting of the 108 names, manasa puja (mental worship) and Ma-Om meditation. There will be Q&A sessions after the satsangs.
