Birthday celebrations

27 September 2006 —It was at around 9:30 when Amma came down from her room and walked through the massive crowd to the stage. At this point, Amritapuri was literally a sea of people. Swamiji performed Amma's pada-puja and then led everyone in the chanting of Amma's 108 names. The whole time Amma sat with her eyes closed, humbly accepting the worship by her children. When the pada-puja was concluded, all of Amma's sannyasin disciples laid garlands around her neck, as well as did Amma's parents, Suganandan Acchan and Damayanthi Amma.
