Amrithapuri (So. Kerala) India - January 12th, 2007

I was contemplating the idea to go on the tour with Amma on the 20th of this month, for 3 weeks, thru the south of India, to places I haven't been yet, so it all depends of my meeting with her. If things change drastically for me and I feel like I need the blessings for 3 weeks, and the experience of travelling and following one of the few guru ladies here in India, I will then go for it, so I am a little nervious about the outcome.
I have met many people here from Spain, mainly catalonians from Barcelona. Amma has visited Barcelona the last few years, and the last yearshe announced while there, that she is going to build an ashram in Barcelone, so many of those people decided to travel here and visit this ashram, and tour with her thru the South of India. She will go to many pilgrimage towns and will gud thousands of people.
This evening around 7:00pm all the new people got lined up in the temple, and one by one, approached her to receive her hug. She is a big size, kind of short, with a very smiley face, and she just hold each of us strongly for a few seconds and wisper something to my ear that sounded like "carino, carino". Shortly after, the next person behind me was being pull into my spot to receive her hug and blessing.
