This year, 2009, Mothers Day falls on May 10.
Mother’s Day
Drops from heaven wake me up
Filling my heart with divine love
Shackles of ignorance shatter in seconds
Years of struggle eases from my body
I seek to thank to see her face
My divine mother, the eternal Mathioli
Swells of happiness surge forward
Celebrating her love on mother’s day.

Jai Nandalala!
Sri Akka and several members, representing both Nandalalala Seva Samithi and Nandalala Mission, recently returned from a busy, exciting week at the 2004 Parliament of World Religions Conference in Barcelona, Spain
The event attracted nearly 6000 attendees from around the world representing more than a dozen major spiritual/religious traditions, and was held at Forum 2000 Auditorium/Convention Center right by the shores of the Meditteranean Sea. Some have noted that “Barcelona, with a population of about 2 million, barely has enough room to breathe in the space NATURE has allotted to it” – the city is literally squeezed between Montjuic hills to the south, Serra de Collserola mountains to the northwest, and the Meditteranean to the southeast.
