“I met Amma about three years ago in USA. This is my first time in the ashram. She is an embodiment of compassion and love for me, and the longer I stay, I feel she is inside my heart. She has really changed my life and my whole life is different now.” – Jeffery, USA

“I feel extremely fortunate and blessed to be here with Amma, especially on her 62nd birthday. My experience with Amma is that she is the ultimate example of loving kindness, highest that we could as a human being can ever conceive of. She is the extreme example of love and compassion and I would say the biggest inspiration that we could find.” – Calia, Los Angeles

“I would like to become pure like she is and emulate her example of selflessness, hard working whether it is day or night. Doing bhajans it touches my heart and hopefully I would love to help the world before I leave the planet. ” – John Douglas, Washington DC

“Yesterday was the first time I met Amma. I came to know Amma from my spiritual teacher. After meeting Amma I felt calm and energetic. I had pain in my shoulders for a long time but when I sat near Amma, I felt relief and there was a change of feeling.” – Lee Wanhou, Shanghai, China
