AMRITAPURI
Shri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Amma, as she is known worldwide, has built an ashram in Kerala at the spot ...
... where she was born, on a narrow strip of land between the Arabian Sea and the backwaters.
I took the beach road to the ashram.
There is also a walking bridge from the mainland, if you do not mind carrying your luggage.
After tiny villages, skyscapers!
Because of lack of land she had to build upwards.
Devotees carried sand to build land on the backwater.
The Arabian Sea
I took these few photos from the ashram roof.

Ashram life is hectic during January and February when Amma is at home.
Photography is forbidden... so this is all! I will write later about my sweet and memorable experience with Mother Amma.
And the music! The whole ashram was vibrating with truly beautiful loud bhajan music with many large groups singing and playing live day and night.
