This course consists of a dialogue with Amma and the study of four of Amma’s bhajans in Malayalam.
Students will be able to learn and understand the lyrics focusing on meaning, pronunciation, and grammar. We will also explore the various stories and traditions connected with Amma and the goddesses Durga, Kali, Lakshmi and Saraswati, along with their spiritual significance and symbolism.
Each unit offers two video lectures for each lesson topic, the first on culture and spiritual principles, and the second on the Malayalam lyrics.
Deepen Your Bhajan Sadhana
With Amma’s blessings, we hope to send you some of the sweetness of Amma’s Love and Wisdom.
Amma’s bhajans are a treasure trove of spiritual wisdom. They not only help the devotee develop Bhakti or longing for God, but also encapsulate the scriptural teachings on God, devotion, the nature of the world, life and liberation. To sing a bhajan from the heart is to pray, to commune, to invoke the divine. Amma says when you sing a bhajan knowing the meaning of each word, you can sing with enjoyment. Your spiritual practice is incredibly enhanced. Inspired by Amma’s ethereal singing, this course attempts to help you understand the infinite beauty and significance of Amma’s Malayalam bhajans.

What Amritabhaasha Students Are Saying
Connecting with Amma
My favorite part was the teacher's energy. Whatever she would teach I would join, because she makes it interesting and sweet. Through everything she connects us with Amma, and I am more than grateful for that. Big thanks to all the crew and the most to the great teacher.
Love and Grace
Thank you for letting Amma work through you all in such a wonderful way. It all feels very personal, and I would have never thought this possible with online lessons. Amma is really with us and showering Her Love and Grace upon us during the whole of the course.
Understanding on a New Level
It was very interesting to hear more deeply about the different deities—many new things came up. Quite new emotions came up when singing bhajans and the deities could be understood on a new level. To learn Malayalam this way was very good.
A Happy Camper!!!
The course (with Amma, of course) seemed to infuse my day, inform my thought patterns, inspire my desires, instruct my actions.... and just made me a happy camper!!! I love you all!
