Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

Amma's organization is the best in the world, hands down. On so many levels! first of all, volunteers feel so personally satisfied and rewarded from helping out around Amma that they return again and again to volunteer their services. They don't even think about contributing to the cause, they simply do it for the personal satisfaction and joy that comes from being with Amma, and believe me, there is plenty. Many people will simply work to raise enough money to travel and work with Amma on one of her tours, then immediately quit and run off to see her. That is how powerful the personal experience of volunteering for her is. More importantly, Amma's charity organizations are the most efficient of any that I know. All the services are completely run by volunteers, so 100 percent of donated money goes to those in need. Amma personally attends to every detail in the running of all her programs in order to streamline them for maximum response and efficiency. Not only that, but by touring and receiving donations in Europe and America, then transferring the money to India where materials are bought, and services rendered, by takes extraordinary advantage of the currency exchange. She can build an earthquake and tsunami-proof house in India for only 750 dollars or something ridiculous. I cannot imagine a humanitarian organization run with the same efficiency, dedication, and joy as Amma's MA Math.

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

the joy it brings to people on every side of the organization. The volunteers, the donators, and the recipients are overwhelmed with gratitude towards Amma and her incredible undertakings.
