Blessed to touch this holy soil…
Led by Mr. Girirajan, a group from Srirengapuram, a village in the district of Theni, Tamil Nadu, have been coming for Amma’s birthday since 2013. He says “Every year when I come, I am here to fulfill my desire to meet Amma. This year I have brought some of my villagers for Amma’s darshan. I want them to experience the ambiance here. I witnessed a change in my life when I had Amma’s darshan in 2014, at that time I was unemployed. I told her all my problems her and she assured me that I will find solutions very soon. I started…

Boundless Compassion in Udupi
Last night Amma had a big public darshan program in Udupi Karnataka -the place famous for Rukmini’s Krishna and for saints like Kanaka Dasa. Observing Amma is in inspiration in itself. Even though the all knowing mother will never proclaim her divinity some things make it seem so natural and so evident. As an impartial observer the scene looks startlingly chaotic. Thousands of people waiting sometimes quietly sometimes anxiously and sometimes raucously – all in the hope of getting a divine hugging darshan from our divine mother – the phenomenon known as Amma. And she sits patiently for hours on…

Amma knows what I need…
“I am not coming to meet Amma with any desire or expectations”. Selvan strongly believes that if there is something that he needs, Amma would identify it. A farmer from the town of Pudhukottai, he started coming for Amma’s birthday from last year. One of his relatives had spoken to him about Amma, and he was interested to meet Amma. He feels that “After Amma’s darshan I felt much more confident”. He says that one of the most beautiful things he saw about Amma was that she was impartial, no matter whoever comes; whether it be the rich or poor,…

Everything is One
26 Sep 2015, Amritapuri Mrs. Bexci P. Britto, Assistant Professor at Bishop Appasamy College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore, who was at the ashram for the first time, shared her experience about meeting Amma. “A few things are inexpressible in life and they go by the term “zing factor”. I had such an experience here today. It was a fulfilling experience. Amma spends hours at a stretch meeting her children, yet makes it seem like an effortless job. I have neither heard of nor seen any other god-men or god-women doing the same. Witnessing this here today directly, right in…

Heaven on Earth can be built ….only on the basis of Love
Soon after our beloved Amma’s 62nd birthday celebrations got over, we got an opportunity to interact with Swami Shailendra Saraswati, who is a disciple of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and currently teaches Transcendental Meditation. He had come here for Amritavarsham ’62 and had his first darshan from Amma. “This was my first visit to Amma. In fact, before I met Amma, something had started happening in my mind. I am a teacher of Transcendental Meditation, worked with Maharishi Mahesh yogi for about twenty years… then, I was associated with Swami Ramdevji. Last month, I was going through Amma’s website and, getting…

I am not sure how much I could offer
My name is Saeka Takeuchi, I am ferris university 2nd year student. I would like to share an experience with Amma for the first time in Tokyo program. I travelled to India to take part in one of Amma’s service activities, a project to build houses. Before travelling to India, I was anxious because I did not have any skill or knowledge about construction and I could not speak the local language. I was quite wondering whether I could be of any help there. When I arrived and started working, children gathered and looked at us with curiosity. I think…

Amma is coming to Japan
Hi, everyone, I am Nobuaki Ishii, a Japanese University student. I came to know about Amma when I participated in a school construction project in Uttarakhand. It was my first visit and India at first was overwhelming but soon I started loving this country because of the warmth and hospitality of the children of the village. Our relationship with the children encouraged me to do my best to complete their school as soon as possible, so that they can start attending the school regularly without any worry. With such motivation, I enjoyed working for two weeks with local people. Among…

He learned more and received more
As you know, there were 63 students from Japan who came to Uttarakand last Feb-March for two weeks. Unfortunately that time they could not meet amma while they were in India, since the project site was remote area, far away in the mountain, and students have tight budget and limited times in India. However many students have came to see Amma when she came to have program in Tokyo this time. They all felt Amma’s love and care for humanity. Many students did seva in the canteen serving chai or food during Amma’s program in Tokyo. They enjoyed a lot.…
