Srikala, an ardent devotee of Amma has come to Amritapuri as a volunteer for the Vidyamritam beneficiaries from Wayanad. For every 25 students who come to Amritapuri, there will be a local co-coordinator; Srikala helps take care of the girls from Wayanad, while her husband is looking after the boys. Their little son has accompanied them.

Their financial condition is not very different from those students who are receiving scholarship from Mata Amritanandamayi Math.  Her husband, Radha Krishnan is part of the “Tozhill Orapu” scheme of the Kerala government. Yet, she has come to serve and attributes her life’s happiness to Amma.

Her only prayer prior to marriage was to get a man who never would criticize Amma, but she is more than excited to say that her husband not only believes in Amma but also would help in any service pertaining to the ashram without hesitation.
