Amma's Slokas

Goddess Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune, and prosperity and the wife of Lord Vishnu. Her name is derived from the Sanskrit word "Laksya", which means 'aim' or 'goal'.

Worship Goddess Lakshmi, not only to seek material items, such as money, cars, but to seek a higher knowledge, a wealth of understanding, compassion and love, the fortune to help others, be good to the Earth and all its inhabitants, big or small, and the prosperity that comes from living a whole life, a full life of material gain for ourselves and our families, of spiritual gain from seeking knowledge beyond the known, and devotional gain from living a life of giving, sharing, and love.

While it is easy to find fear in everything happening in the world including what happened in NYC, Minnesota and New Jersey, spend a few minutes today sending a message of peace and love from your heart to the world....may not change the world, but it could change one person....YOU!

Our mother, grandmother, our guiding light. The reason that Amma’s Slokas exists today….Neela Chari.

Born in Eleru, India (Andrah Pradesh) in 1946, Neela migrated to New York, USA with her husband, Gopi, in the late 1960’s. At that time there were only pockets of Indians throughout the country and the only “nearby” temple was located in Pittsburgh, PA.

In the following years, they had three children and were quickly faced with the struggles of raising 1st generation Indian-Americans in the 1970s and 1980s, fondly noted as (“ABCDs” or “American Born Confused Desis”).

Through weekly poojas, study groups with their circle of friends, story-telling and books, she was able to impart the key values that were at core of her Hindu belief system.

Fast forward 30+ years and she finds herself in a similar position with her grandchildren, but this time around she finds herself competing with modern technology, and the reality that 2nd generation children have an even harder time relating to their heritage. Through nightly Prajna sessions with her grandchildren via Skype and FaceTime, she has been able to share the words, but the meaning and importance has not been easily transmitted, even with co-joined effort with her children.
