My Nonprofit Reviews

I serve Amma during Her tours of North America (Summer and Fall). My job is to run Amma's raw food store named "Nature's Joy." Amma started this store through us (a team of 4 disciples of Amma) to meet the need of Her devotees who were having trouble eating cooked food. Over the last five years (2004-2009) we have served Amma joyfully amidst back breaking schedules and intense tour work. But there is so much joy and satisfaction in contributing to Her worldwide charities (by raising funds through Nature's Joy) as well as attending to the immediate need of Her children in USA (serving the raw food through Nature's Joy). There have been amazing real life stories of selfless contribution by Nature's Joy team. And they have been inspired by Amma's selfless demonstration of reaching out to all those who come to see Her. Her tireless efforts without caring for Her own needs have motivated many of us to go beyond our comfort zones and put forth our unimagined best. In the process many wonders have come forth. In Amma's organization, most of the work is contributed by volunteers. So when we donate one dollar, it's value increases way beyond one dollar because of the volunteers. Nothing gets deducted from the dollar due to almost negligible overhead and management expenses. Instead, the intense efforts added by each volunteer adds much more to a dollar donated. This is one of the secrets behind so many projects being accomplished by Amma's organization. Amma is a saint beyond comparison who inspires by walking the talk. They way She touches the hearts of Her children, inspires them to give back to the best of their abilities. The result is amazing and unimagineable synchronicity and success in reaching out to those in need :).
