Deepavali 2020 - Amriteswari Society, Singapore

“During this time, when the entire world is reeling in the darkness of the COVID-19 pandemic, let each of us come together to light the lamp of hope, compassion and unity. The virus is filling us internally and externally with the poison of fear and anxiety. To destroy it, we have to ignite our inner flame, our inner light. Let us light the lamp of new life, the light of goodness, the light of knowledge that dispels the darkness of ignorance. Let us eliminate this poison with the panacea of right action and right thinking at the right time.” – Amma

We invite you to register for our Deepavali celebrations online, that will include a Lakshmi Puja for prosperity and auspiciousness. The event will be telecast online at 9am SGT (6.30am IST) via Twitch at twitch.tv/ammasingapore.

“Just as the right hand comes to dress the wound on the left hand, we should see another person’s sorrows as our own and come to his or her aid.” – Amma

“Where there is love, there is no distance.” – Amma.

Each year, in line with Amma’s teachings of humanity’s inherent oneness, Amma’s children make it a point to share the festivities and cheer of Deepavali with residents of the Meranti Home @ Pelangi Village. The Meranti Home provides shelter and rehabilitation to male destitutes requiring psychiatric care. This year, on 14 November 2020, arrangements have been made by the Amriteswari Society to serve 186 residents and 40 staff of the Meranti Home @ Pelangi Village with an elaborate Deepavali dinner feast. Of course, no Deepavali celebration is complete without joyful singing and dancing! As such, this year, with Amma’s grace, in line with the social distancing measures and strict visiting restrictions, Amma’s children have lined up several online performances to celebrate Deepavali with the residents. A joy that is shared is a joy made double! Updates and photos to follow…
