Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

If you go to Amma.org and click on donations there are 28 charities listed that you can choose from to make a donation. Amma has started each of these and continues to keep them running smoothly. Every penny donated goes to the charity. The money given goes farther than expected due to the fact that these charities are run mostly by volunteers that come from all over the world to work for Amma. Amma herself is the inspiration for this selfless service. She spends her life giving to others and has done so since her late teens. She has given blessings in the form of a hug to many millions of people around the world and continues to do so every day. She averages more than 8+ hours a day giving hugs with her greatest session being 23 hours when she hugged 45,000 people without a break on her 50th birthday. Has there ever been a person who continuously gives so tirelessly to so many?

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

doing selfless service twice a year when programs are held in the US. The organization is amazing as 175+ tour staff (who pay to travel with Amma and work tirelessly for her up to 20 hours a day) keep the program running city after city. Amma models this.
