THIRU ONAM

Dear SELF, THIRU ONAM is the biggest festival in God's Own Country (KERALA) which is being celebrated
by all sections of people irrespective of religion, cast and any other differences and that is what I call Spirituality in thought, word and deed which is not present in many places on earth today.

Tomorrow, Friday, September 9, all the Keralites all over the world celebrate Thiru Onam in their own personal way, more so in MATA AMRUTANANDA MAYI DEVI'S ASHRAM, where we were so fortunate to present and had bhiksha from her golden hands with a lovely smile which is rather rare now a days in, near Kollam in Kerala.

As anything in this world, there may be some critics as we all know there are people who criticize Sri Rama & Sri Krishna. WE SHOULD NOT BATHER ABOUT THEM AND LEAVE THEM ALONE!
