Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

It was in May 1999 when my friend at Ananda Village,in Nevada City prepared them selfs to visit Mata Amritanandamai in San Ramon, California. At that time I was in a very down and out at the end of my whits of life.I asked if I could join the carpool. My friend where looking forward to be with Amma. The highlight of the visit was to get an embrace from Mother.It was late in the evening when I finally had my turn. As Amma took me in here arms, my world stopped existing with seeming lack and fear. I knew I was save and home at last.I was nurtured like never before in 50 of my years. This is home. I was never the same since.Joy and freedom became part of my life.Amma set an example of love and compation for me that I often recall when I do my work as a hospice caregiver or any care for anyone in need. Since then I moved near the Ashram and spend most of my free time being of service. One summer I helped assorting medical supply that was donated, and being prepared to shipped to India. It was a very large undertaking. About 15 People in 5 weeks worked together harmoniously to accomplish this.I felt Amma's Grace with us all the time.

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

My daily life is peaceful even if things are not perfect. This organization is expanding faster and more gracefully in a nurturing way.

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

have a Jet Airplane for Amma and Her people

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

People of all ages and races work together. Even I find a place to fit in. There is endless opportunity to give and receive.

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

Extreemly kind and concidered.

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

take care of millions of underprivileged people around the world.

Ways to make it better...

Muskitos in India could be under control.

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

It would be great to have more housing space
