Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

Amma's charitable works, involving hundreds of volunteers and countless hundreds of people, who, devasted by ill health, tsunami's, earthquakes, etc. have received (free or low cost) health care, free meals and homes, boats built to replace those lost, digging out of a town hit by earthquakes. Her schools (engineering, computer science, medical science) and her orphanage guide young people to useful and satisfying lives. The Mata Amritanandamayi Math is HIGHLY DESERVING of the award given for Great Nonprofits! Most sincerely, Joan Ungersma Halperin, Ph.D. 2714 Benvenue Avenue Berkeley, CA 94705

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

Helping drug and alcohol addicts attain recovery by learning Amma's IAM meditation. Writing to prisoners to offer them compassion and friendship, as taught by Amma.

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

Growing spiritually, learning to accept and love all sorts of other people, whatever our differences

Ways to make it better...

I can't think of any way to improve Amma's work through her volunteers.
