Swamini Poornapragnanda or ‘Amba’ as she is lovingly addressed by her devotees. She herself is an ardent devotee of Bhagavan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri (Baba). Amba, is a guru, a mother, a friend, a saint. She is as her devotees seek her to be, a meditator whose inner experience and wisdom was evident even when she would sit in complete stillness for hours and meditate just as a child.
Her primary teaching is that of forgiveness, universal acceptance and unconditional love as she often speaks of her journey to becoming one with Bhagavan Nityananda himself simply by surrendering to him wholly.
Her journey truly began when she found herself completely immersed in the image of Bhagavan Nityananda during a Satsang, and she wouldn’t be fulfilled until he became a living reality for her.
She is Siddha yoga teacher, Sri Vidya Practioner in her poorvashrama. Today she heads Antahkarana Gnana Nilayam and is a guiding light to many who seek the inner journey through her grace.
Here is a small prayer composed by her for her guru Bhagavan Nityananda.
She says, Suprabhathams that have been composed on Gods or Gurus, usually describe Their form, attributes and Leelas. In Nityananda Suprabhatham, we are invoking our Guru in our Chidaakaasham, requesting Him to awaken us from this Maya and to give us the Realisation that we are Jeevanmuktas! This is the Essence of this Suprabhatham!
