Krishna Bhava
By Her late teens, Sudhamani was abiding in the experience of inner
bliss. By 1975, at the age of 22, She was fully established in the
state of Supreme Love. A significant incident occurred in September
1975 that lifted one veil from Her divinity. One day, as Sudhamani
was walking home, holding aloft a bundle of grass, She overheard
the final verses of the Srimad Bhagavatam from a neighbouring house.
The reading had come to an end and the devotional singing had just
started.
Sudhamani stopped abruptly, appearing to listen intently
to the singing. Suddenly, She ran towards where the devotees
had gathered. Overwhelmed by divine bliss, Sudhamani's inner
identification with Lord Krishna transformed Her features
and movements into those of the Lord. |

Regarding the onset of the Krishna Bhava (the divine mood of Krishna,
in which Amma experienced that She was one with the Lord), Amma
says, "In the early days, I used to dance in bliss and move
about alone, persisting in Krishna Bhava, but no one knew. One day
I strongly felt the urge to be absorbed in the Supreme Being without
returning. Then I heard a voice from within saying, 'Thousands and
thousands of people in the world are steeped in misery. I have much
for you to do, you who are one with Me."

Thereafter Sudhamani regularly appeared in Krishna Bhava,
during which people flocked to meet Her on the beach near
Her home. But a group of youths from the surrounding villages,
calling themselves the "Rationalists" were against
Her and tried to harm Her. Seeing the harassment that his
daughter was being subjected to, Amma's father took pity on
Her and converted the family cowshed to make a proper place
for Her to meet people. |
