We meditate on (Mata Amritanandamayi) whose head is covered

with a white garment, who is ever-established (in Truth),
whose glances beam with binding love, who is the seat of
six godly qualities (affluence, valour, fame, auspiciousness,
knowledge and dispassion), whose radiant smile adorns Her face
with auspiciousness, who incessantly showers the nectar of affection,
who sings devotional songs most sweetly, whose complexion
resembles that of the rainclouds, whose words are soaked in honey,
who is bliss immortal and who is the Supreme Goddess Herself.
