Thiru aadipooram – August, 2018


Usually in Southern calendar, the months are named based on the nakshatra that prevails during the Poornima -full moon. In the month of Aadi, full moon occurs during Aashada. During this period, the monsoon peaks on the west coast and the rivers of TN & Kerala, shrunken in the summer heat, get replenished, often to full levels.

The month marks the avatar of Sri Andal at Srivilliputtur, the venue of our satsang. The town comes alive with festivities including the legendary rath yatra that attracts devotees in very large numbers.

Nostalgic moments – Sumeru Sandhya 2018

Bangalore 5th August 2018



One of my early bhajans ‘Shankara Chandrasekhara’ in Madhyamavati was an all- time favourite of Amma. She and Gurudev inspired us to include it in the first album. It was sung in the first ever Sumeru Sandhya evening at the International Centre in 1998.



Two decades later, the bhajan featured in our Sumeru Sandhya last evening as a musical tribute to Amma at the iconic Visalakshi Mantap.
Sumeru Sandhya is the premier Art of Living Satsang experience. It is an evening event packed with Quality Music, heart touching Bhajans, Meditation and Knowledge.
