Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved with Amma's organization for over ten years. I have pesonally experienced the power of her work with widows in India who she gives aid to on a periodic basis in the form of money for them to subsist on. . .these are women who are destitute having been turned out by their families for various reasons. I recall being at the Ashram in 2000 and being moved to see hundreds and hundreds of women showing up at the Ashram to receive their assistance. It was very moving. At the wake of the Tsunami, Amma's organization jumped right in and began offering solace to survivors and her staff worked tirelessly rebuilding homes for people to live in. After the earthquake in northeastern India it was Amma's organization who went in and began rebuilding. And it was Amma again who pledged millions in aid for relief in the wake of the New Orleans Katrina tragedy delivering a check to Bill Clinton for the purpose. Amma's NGO is unprecedented in it's use of unpaid, volunteer help to decrease costs and apply most of the funds directly to help others with no waste or use of funds for salaries. She continues to expand her outreach around the globe, and to issues in India that span from Farmer's suicides, prostitution and homelessness. She has many orphanages and schools and hospitals that are changing the future of Indian people. MOst importantly, when Amma offers aid in times and to issues of need, she offers love. . not just resources. .. her love inspires the same spirit In those who work for her to serve her charities.

continue it's mission of helping people everywhere especially people who need help in times of disaster and who are homeless.
