"Everyone in the world should be able to sleep without fear, at least for one night. Everyone should be able to eat to his or her fill, at least for one day. There should be at least one day when hospitals see no one admitted due to violence. It is Amma's prayer that at least this small dream be realised." - AMMA

Satguru Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi Ji

To be in Her presence is to experience the best that life has to offer...a river of unconditional love, accepting anyone and everyone, and cleansing all their impurities. Luminous rays of grace, radiating wisdom and joy... like the earth bearing us on her bosom. By her love, consoling us, nourishing us, instilling faith in us... in whose presence, the innocence of a child awakens within the world becomes a wonder. Such this and more is Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Amma, Mother of Immortal Bliss.

The name Mata Amritanandamayi ("Amma" - or Mother as She is affectionately known) is a synonym of spiritual and moral renaissance that has crossed the boundaries of oceans and continents. Enfolded in the warmth of her motherly embrace, millions have cried away their pain, and unburdened the heavy sorrows of their lives.

"As long as there is enough strength in these hands to reach out to those who come to her, to place her hand on a crying person's shoulder, Amma will continue to give darshan. To lovingly caress people, to console and wipe their tears until the end of this mortal frame - this is Amma's wish."

Her tireless spirit of dedication to uplifting others has inspired a vast network of charitable activities through which people are discovering the beauty and sense of peace that come from selflessly serving others.
