In their private meeting, the Kanchi Acharya and Amma discussed Advaita and it practical application in society and day-to-day life. Amma gave him a rudraksha mala, which he immediately put around his neck.
Sitting aside Amma and addressing the ashram residents, he said, “Kerala is a holy land. It was in this land that pious Adi Shankaracharya took birth. Likewise many mahatmas have incarnated in this land. Sri Narayana Guru and Chattambi Swamigal incarnated in this land of Kerala.
In this Kali Yuga, Mata Amritanandamayi is amongst us…. She is graciously guiding her devotees in the path of bhajans, devotion and service.”
