Transliteration of Amma's Greetings in Telugu Free Translation of Amma's Geetings
Ahamkaramuki ahamkaramu ekkuva, andhukae adhi digiradhu
Thana gunalini oddilipettaidhu, marchukodhu.
Thanaki manchi gunalu laevu ani thaelisina, thanalo unnavi chedda gunalu ani thaelisina
"I will change," antundhi laeka "I will try to change," antundhi, kani
Koncham kooda maraedaniki prayatnamu chaeyadu.
Nijamuga prayatnamu chaesitae enduku manchiga maari,
Vinamratha, premamayulu karu!
Andhukae prarabdham antaru.
Guruvae, na prarabdham elaa pothundhi
Mimalni nammukuntae meeru kapadi na prarabdham tholagistaru kadha antaru.
Asalu, nammakam anaedhi untaekadha,
Nammukunaeandhuku Ahamkaram (addu ostundi),
Ahamkaranae nammuthondhi, Guruvuni kadhu.
Guruvuni kuda (thananae) ahamkaraanae nammamantundhi
Adhae greatness ahamkara mahima
Andhukae ahamkaram janmmalu etthukuntundhi.
Evaru kapadagalaru?
Ninu nuuvae marchukovali
Ego is full of itself, that is why it will not come down
It will not give up its bad qualities, it will not change.
Despite knowing that it lacks good qualities, and knowing that within it are only bad qualities
It will either say "I will change," or "I will try to change," however
It will not attempt to change in the slightest.
In reality, if they try, why will they not become good,
and become filled with humbleness and love!
Instead, they blame fate
They say, "Guru, how can my fate go away?"
They say "If I have faith in you, will you not save me and erase my fate?"
In truth, if only faith were really present
To have faith? Ego is present (it obstructs)!
The ego believes in itself, not in the Guru
The Ego even wants the Guru to believe in it (Ego) instead
That is the greatness of the Ego
That is why the Ego takes countless births.
Who can save such an Ego?
You have to change yourself.

Atma Jnana Yagnamu
Indriamulanu jaeyinchina jyanaagni puttunu
Andhu kama krodhadhula-tho-onna
Manasunu dahimpachaesina
Antharatma prakashinchunnu
Aiyadhae shantha sammrudhammu, amruthamu
Sacrifice of Self Knowledge
On victory over the senses the fire of knowledge is born
Into it if the lust and anger filled
mind is destroyed
The inner self will shine forth
That is peace, prosperity, immortality
