Amma in the Pink City
Bharata Yatra 2004
14 March 2004 — Jaipur, Rajasthan
 |
Jaipur, the Pink City of Rajasthan, has been
blessed with Amma's presence several times. But
14 March 2004 was only the second time Amma had
given a program there. As usual, a number of
local politicians were on hand to great Her,
including Shri. Ghanshyam Tiwari, the Honourable
Minister of Education; His Excellency Shri. Madhanlal
Khurana, the Governor of Rajasthan; and Sumitra
Singh, Honourable Speaker of the Rajasthan Assembly,
among others |
It was a nice, cool evening with a clear sky.
Upon Amma's arrival, fireworks were shot into
the air, casting lights of gold and green and
red. It reminded some of the time in 1997 when
Amma was in Jaipur for Holi, the North Indian
New Year celebrated by the spraying of powdered
paint. Then, Amma walked the streets with Her
disciples, dancing and singing "Hari Bol!" That
time, the residents of Jaipur did not know who
was moving among them. But Sunday, more than
23,000 came to receive Her darshan. |
