Letters to Amma
25-12-1992 Mysore
Dear Amma,
I hope this letter finds you and all your children in best of health, cheer & happiness. I am fine by the grace of God & your blessings. I am one of your devotees in Mysore. My name is Mrs.Yogini Shivaram. Since a long time I was thinking of writing to you as a daughter writes to her mother.
In Mysore we have formed a Bhakta Mandali-a group of your devotees. Each Friday we conduct Satsang and sing bhajans & praise the God and ask for God's grace to be showered upon the whole Universe & thus give peace & solace to each & every soul.
I have written a Kannada Bhajan upon you as an intense call from me to you,to visit Mysore & bless your Mysore Children also. We are eagerly & patiently waiting for that day to come as early as possible and I am sure you will come & bless all of us. I am sending my Kannada Bhajan, my hindi poem titled Mohabbath-Universal Love and also one article about 'Mind' (Control of Mind) to be published in Matruvani. I hope, you will like it.
Nothing more at present. Rest in my next after receiving your reply. I am also eager to visit Vallikavu & have your Darshan, having complete faith & love. My pranams to you & all your divotees in the Ashram.
Your loving daughter
Yogini Shivaram

Dear Amma,
Thank you very much for your short & sweet reply to my letter. I was very happy to receive & read it. It is like the most precious gift of God to me in my life. I will preserve it in my heart till the last moment. Everyday I was eagerly waiting for your reply & today I received it. I was very much sure of getting your reply to my letter. I also thank you very much for your love, prayers & blessings. I am very fortunate to have this wealth than any other materialistic wealth. It is all God's grace.
I really enjoyed my stay at your Ashram having lot of peace & happiness by your darshan. It was the happiest moment in my life, which I had not experienced before. I wish to visit Vallikavu & have your darshan at least once in every year. Amma how did you feel about my article, kannada bhajan & hindi poem?. It is all because of your grace only that I was able to write. Otherwise I am just an ordinary human being, but a lucky human being to have God's grace & Amma's blessings & prayers. Everyday, I chant your name & other God's & Godesses & saintly people in my mind. I talk about your greatness, kindness & love, to the people around me. By doing so I feel happy & satisfied.
Nothing more at present, rest in my next after hearing from you. I hope this letter finds you and all your children in best of health, cheer & happiness. My pranams to you and your divotees.

Dear Amma,
I hope, this letter finds you & your children in best of health, cheer & happiness. I am fine by the grace of god & your blessings. I hope, you might have received my reply letter too, for your sort & sweet letter one month back. I was really very very happy to see & read your letter. It is the most precious gift for me, which gives so much happiness and solace than any thing else in the world. I thank you very much for your prayers & blessings.
Regarding the religious function of 'Jyotipuja' at Mysore, it went on smoothly & nicely by your grace & efforts of Shri Matruchaitanya Swamiji & troop. About 125 to 140 people participated in 'Jyotipuja' & there were many observers also & in the evening Bhajans & satsang programme also,the hall was full. All the people enjoyed the real bliss & peace of mind. Many people came to know about your motherly love & grace through swamiji's discourse & thus the programme was a grand success by your grace & blessings.
All the devotees of Bhaktamandali of your Mission Trust here in Mysore wish to start one of the branches of your Ashram in Mysore also & would like to do some social service & also spread your message of Universal & selfless love, brotherhood, humanity & equality through your Mission Trust to the people here. I hope your wish will fulfill our wish by your grace.
Nothing more to pen. Hoping, wishing & waiting for your early reply,grace & love. My pranams to you & all the devotees in the Ashram.

Dear Amma,
I hope this letter finds you & all your chidren in best of health, cheer & hapiness. I am fine by your grace & blessings. On 27th August Mysore devotees are leaving for your Ashram. Around 60-70 people are coming for your darshan. I am sending my pranams to you through them as we ae not coming now. We are planning to visit your Ashram & have your darshan during December (ie.Christmas holidays).
I am thinking of sending an article & kannada bhajan composed about Amma for the souvenir called 'Amritam Gamaya',which is to be published on the 40th birthday of dear Amma (5th Oct 1993).
Amma, when will you come to Mysore, we all are very eager & waiting for your arrival at Mysore & have the darshan of your 'Lotus Feet'. I had many unusual & unique experiences after meeting Amma for the first time during January 1993 & I am rally thrilled by it. Amma knows all very well, therefore I feel, there is no need to tell about it. I am very very greatful to Amma for her love, compassion, kindness & grace. I thank her for that & I expect only Grace & love from her to be showered upon all of us all the time which is very necessary for our alround well being & hapiness.
Nothing more at present. Rest in my next after receiving your reply. I feel very very happy & I feel myself as the most lucky child of Amma. therefore I eagerly wait for your reply. My lots of pranams to Amma & all the devotees in the Ashram. Hoping and wishing for the best by Amma's Grace & Blessings.

Dear Amma,
I am keeping fine by your Grace & Blessings & hope to hear the same from each & every child of Amma
Today you are returning to your children's home land from your tour. We all are eagerly waiting for the darshan of your lotus feet.
The reason for writing this letter is the urgent need of your prayers & blessings for some of your sick children who are in their blossoming age for their good health & happiness, because I belive & trust in Amma's blessings, prayers & grace which is the only effective medicine for the chidren to be hale & healthy & happy. The names of the children are 1.Manjesh Bhargav (my son) 2.Ashwin.(my elder sister's son).
Amma already knows in detail about the welfare of all her chidren, so I need not explain in detail about the sickness of these children. I request Amma to pray & bless them & shower her grace upon them so that they will be alright as soon as Amma receives this letter. Even for writing this letter Amma is giving me strength to reduce my burden of anxities.
Nothing more at presnt. I hope to recieve a possitive reply from Amma very soon. please also bless the other 2 children named Akhilesh Bhargav & Reshma for their general welbeing & happiness.
I always remember Amma for her selfless love & grace upon her children. My pranams to Amma & love to all.

Dear Amma,
We all are fine here by Amma's Grace & blessings. I hope,this letter finds you & your cildren in best of health,cheer & happiness.
Here in Mysore Ashram Smt.Dakshayini Amma is taking care of the Ashram whole heartedly & is doing selfless service here by staying in the Ashram. So all of us call her by pet name 'Mysore Amma'.
We all are your children & would like to be the instruments in the hands of Amma because Amma is the 'Sutradhari' & we all are play things in the hands of Amma in the drama of life. So we all would like to work according to Amma's wish & will & with her grace & blessings of course.
With Amma's grace & blessings we would like to start the work of Brahmhastanam Temple as soon as possible & get it inaugurated during Amma's visit in the comming year only.
So please bless us to get it completed as early as possible. We all 'The Mysore Children' are thankful to Amma for getting the Ashram to Mysore quickly. Daily evening Bhajans are going on regularly. We feel Amma's presence here very much.
Nothing more at present. Once again thank you and all your chidren in the Ashram for their sincier efforts & your blessings on us. All the Mysore children are sending their love & pranams to dear Amma & Amma's chidren in the Ashram. Along with this letter I am sending one Article written by me with Amma's grace. I would like to get it corrected if any mistake are there.
Thank you once again Amma

Dearest Amma,
Our humble pranams at the 'Lotus Feet' of Amma. First let me thank Amma for her most valuable Blessings, Grace & Sankalpa by which your son Prof.Shivaram & his family is keeping fine. By Amma's Grace, he had a sucessful kidney transplantation. Amma is the sutradhari & we all are only her instruments. It is the most fortunate thing for us to be her instruments in the Life's drama. To be her instruments also Amma's Sankalpa is essential. We cannot measure Amma's Love, Compassion in mere words or in any thing else. We have to do the 'Nama-Sankeerthana' of Amma throught our life. That is the only way to show our gratitude to Amma for all her Blessings, Grace & Protection she has given to our family.Nothing more at present.I hope this letter finds you and all your children in best of health, cheer & Happiness.We also thank all Amma's Devotees & desciples who prayed very much for Prof.Shivaram's good health & the welfare of our family. 'Prayer changes the things' is a true proverb. Once again our humble pranams at the 'Lotus Feet' of Amma.
Your Loving Daughter

My dearest Amma,
We all are keeping fine by your Grace, Blessings & Sankalpa. I hope, this letter finds you and all your chidren in best of health cheer and happiness.
Amma I am so excited that you have given us this golden opportunity to come to Vallikavu to see you & do the padapuja of Amma. That is the greatest wealth for me & my family in this life. It has become merely possible for us to get this opportunity by your kindness, Love & compassion. It was my greatest dream or wish in my life to do your Padapuja which is being fulfilled just by your Grace & Sankalpa. I am not able to explain the amount of happiness I am feeling in my heart by your invaluable Love & Grace. I must be greatful to you by remembering you constantly by way of doing the 'Nama-sankeerthana' of the Lotus Feet of Amma (Amriteshwari Padam Vande) throughout our life.
Amma we are constructing the first floor of our house 'SUDHAMRITA' & also the Prayer hall on 2nd floor. The work is going on smoothly by Amma's wish & Blessings. We want to get it completed as soon as possible by your Sankalpa so that it will be ready for Amma's visit to our house during next year's programme & it will also be useful for Amma's devotes for their stay during the programme. That will be a great pleasure for us to serve Amma's devotees in whichever possible way interms of doing squirrel-service.
Amma I know nothing except begging for your invaluable Blessings grace Love & Compassion which is the greatest wealth for all in the Universe & I hope & wish that every body will take that advantage & one must also prepare oneself to be fit to receive it by deep faith & devotion towards the Lotus Feet of Param-Sat-Guru like Amma.

My Dear Amma,
I hope this letter finds you & all your children in best of health, cheer & happiness. We all (the Children of Amma) too are keeping fine by Amma's blessings, grace & love. I thank Amma for her unconditional love & blessings which helped our family at each moment. Her love and blessings is the main support for our family's real happiness. We also thank Amma for giving us the most precious opportunity for my family to sit beside her lotus feet & serve her lotus feet by giving us the private interview last year.
To have the darshan of the lotus feet of Divine Mother & to touch & serve the lotus feet of the Divine Mother 'Amma' is the highest wealth for any human being and we are so fortunate to get that wealth which was merely possible by Amma's Love & Compassion.
Amma we have shifted to our new house on the 1st floor. We would like to invite Amma to our new house to pray and bless for alround development welbeing and happiness of our family. I would like to sing the Bhajans composed and tuned by me with Amma's Grace & inspiration when she comes to our new house during Amma's Mysore visit. I would like to compose more & more Bhajans about Amma & more & more articles about Amma in future too by Amma's Grace & inspiration which is the real goal of my life. I hope Amma will give me the power & concentration to do so. Once again we all request Amma to visit our new house which is Amma's house also.
Once again we all thank Amma for all her love,Compassion, Grace & Blessings which is the highest & permanant wealth for all of us.

My Dearest & closest Amma,
First let me & my family bow at the lotus feet of Amma. Amma, I hope this letter finds you & all your children in best of health, cheer & happiness. Here, in Mysore all the devotees of Amma are O.K by Amma's grace & blessings. But because of Amma's absence during the tour devotees are little bit upset & confused. I believe that only Amma's blessings & sankalpa can set every thing right in Mysore Ashram and it will flourish again fast after Amma's visit to Mysore next year.
Amma every day I pray "Sabhko Sanmathi De Bhagavan" & "Lokah Samastah Sukhinobhavanthu"
Amma I want your blessings, grace and sankalpa for our eldest son's Manjesh Bhargav's Munji (Upanayana Sanskar) & this is our first invitation to Amma for our son's Munji. I hope and believe with Amma's blessings and sankalpa this Upanayana Sanskar will be performed nicely & smoothly. Amma, please give all of us good strength and good health to do all good activities, which will make our life fruitful & worth living. Once again we all bow at the lotus feet of Amma.
Yours loving daughter
Mrs.Yogini Shivaram
