Currently at Amritapuri
3 commentsI am currently at Amritapuri in the south of Kerala state. Amritapuri is an ashram to a guru woman named Amma. She gives her darshans by giving hugs! I met her yesterday and she gave me a big hug. She also gave $23,000,000 to the tsunami relief fund in 2005.
I arrived yesterday and the place is starting to warm up to me. There are lots and lots of interesting people to meet. Over 2,000 students and pilgrims and casual visitors like me stay here. Many people wear all white and walk around with smiles on their faces.
I return to Bombay on Friday night, and then I am going back to Atlanta on September 15th to do some work for the family. Right now I am enjoying my vacation and happy to be here. As always, thanks for reading.

Nick, i am bummed that your travels are coming to an end. I have really enjoyed reading about your adventure. Maybe your dad should send you aroad more often for business.
hi! Nick, You are really lucky. I am an Indian but never got a chance to visit south India. I know amma very well, my grandma even have a picture of her with our God. Poor me coz I didn't get her hug ever.
