Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

If there is something in this world that equals the joy of seeing a new born baby after a strenous delivery I would say it is the joy of seeing a contempt person after a nutritious meal which fills one's heart and stomach. The food that we deliver does not contain meat but it does include all the healthy constituents topped with the ingredients of love and joy and prayers. There are two kinds of sevas that we the volunteers of Mata Amritanadamayi Math do in the South San Francisco bay area. One is to prepare lunch bags each containing a sandwich, fruit,juice and chips and deliver them for the homeless. Presently we are doing this every week. The other seva is preparing one hot meal for the family shelter in the vicinity and serve the food to people in the shelter. At present we are doing it 6 times a year, and are planning to expand it to 12 times a year in coming years as the number of volunteers grow. I am grateful to God for enabling me to participate in both the sevas for several years now. I also pray that God gives us the strength to keep doing these little things all the time and help more people that are in need.

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

doing the Karma yoga, doing seva without expecting anything in return.

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

the joy of giving. We can see a smile in every volunteer and the energy is immeasurable.

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

very kind and humble.

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

help move a step forward towards helping the poor get the basic necessities of life.

Ways to make it better...

we had much more volunteers to expand the projects to sevaral people that are in need.
