Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

For the last 10 years I have volunteered the Mata Amritandamayi Math during their North American tour. I have traveled all over the country working in the kitchen preparing food for the large number of people (up to 8000) who come to see Amma. Every year I am impressed by the comittment and intensity shown by Amma toward a hugh range of people that are on the edge either physically or emotionally. The integrity of the fund dispersement, the unlimited compassion and the other volunteers committment is heartening. Even when there is not enough money (and there never is to help everyone) Amma still has the unlimited compassion to comfort EVERYONE who comes to her. Phenomenal in todays world. Whether it is a fire in the kitchen, a tsunami in Asia, earthquakes in India, children of farmers who commit suicide or an individual who is having a miscarriage, Amma is always there. It is been the greatest grace to be able to volunteer for the MA Math. Thank you

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

so many ways and so many levels. From the physical joy of helping in a hugh issue to the personal spiritual joy of understanding.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

not change it.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

THe ability to contribute directly to the allieviating the suffering of people in the world

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

dedicated.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

help more people.

Ways to make it better...

I had more time to volunteer more

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

the nature of human ego, in that getting people to care about what they can't directly see is sometimes difficult.

One thing I'd also say is that...

Not only does helping with the MA Math help others, it starts an internal transformation that is so beautiful
