Quote by Mata Amritanandamayi

“Children, set aside at least half an hour in the morning and in the evening for spiritual practices. After bathing in the morning, a family should sit together and worship. Archana may be performed by chanting the 108 or 1000 Names of Devi or our chosen deity. We can also chant our mantra, meditate or sing hymns at this time.”

This will help keep the thought of God alive throughout our body, mind and atmosphere.”

“What meaning do our lives have if we cannot set aside at least one hour a day out of 24 for thinking about God?

If we cannot spare a whole hour at a stretch, keep apart half an hour in the morning and again in the evening.”

“Children, in the present dark age of materialism, chanting the mantra is the easiest way for us to obtain inner purification and concentration. Japa can be done at any time, anywhere, without observing any rule regarding the purity of mind and body. Japa can be done while engaged in any task.”
