It’s been more than fifteen years now, when I first saw Amma giving darshans and fell in love with her after getting her hug. Many experiences have got me to the realisation that Amma is not bound by the limits of her physical body and that she will transcend the barriers of time, space and distance whenever she hears the heart wrenching calls of her children. No matter where Amma is physically, she is always a tiny little prayer away from us!
I had a wonderful experience which I would like …

INTERVIEW WITH Mrs and Mr RAMANATHAN
The sweet couple, Mrs Radha Ramanathan and Mr Ramanathan smiled at me disapprovingly, when asked for an interview. But soon, they began to share their valuable experiences quite spontaneously.
Dr Ramanathan is a Professor of English in Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham at Amritapuri Campus. Ms Radha serves in the HQ administrative office of Amrita Vidyalayam Schools of Amma, helping in co-coordinating the activities of several schools, most of them affiliated to the CBSE Board.
When asked about Amma, they responded enthusiastically, describing Amma as ‘everything’. They are very …

Ms.Vijayalakshmi, Principal of Amrita Vidyalayam, Kochi has been a follower of Amma for the past 18 years. We met her accidentally along with her collegue Ambika during Amma’s 56th birthday celebration on September 25, 2009 at Amritapuri.
Vijayalakshmi could not control her emotions when talking about Amma. Her heart and soul is filled with Amma as she feels the presence of Amma in each and every breath of her life. In 1994, she had a miraculous experience which reinforced her trust in Amma.
She was hospitalized for a major surgery. The cause …

I did not know Amma before coming here. I came here seven years back. My only source of income is a shop that was setup after I came here.
I would say that every day since then is an experience by itself in this sacred land. I feel that only people with the real seed of spirituality can come to this place, no amount of advertisements or any other external force can bring this much amount of people to the place.
It is my good fortune that has brought me to Amma. …

Namah shivaya
I wanted to share with you all an interesting conversation I had with one of our First year ECE students this evening. His name is Anand. Some of you may be able to relate to it. I have heard innumerable such stories over the past 17 years since meeting Amma, but coming from our own student, related in such an innocent style, I had to share this with you.
I was walking along the grounds under the huge pandal this evening, when this boy came up to me. He wanted …

It was barely a year and a half since I first met Amma but it seemed as though I knew her for ages. I was blessed to be with Amma at Bangalore. It was a great pleasure for us, the students of Amrita School of Engineering, Bangalore to volunteer for Amma’s darshan programme and since this was my first seva at the ashram I was naturally excited. I chose crowd controlling near the stage with a desire to be near Amma for the rest of the two days. By the …

This happened long back during my School days.
I used to compel my friends to come along to meet Amma. Still those memories of, travelling in the boat and reaching ashram and feeling some inner joy, waiting to see her in the hall,not knowing for what and why? Anyway this is about one of my friend who was doubtful whether Amma really knows everything? How can that ever be possible? Even though he beleived in Spiderman,Superman and all and believed in thier powers and thier existance(?) no ‘human’ can be all …
