About Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma)

All donations go to Mata Amritanandamayi's worldwide charitable activities (and to cover some minor expenses associated with the healings).

Pujitha says our donations have a four-fold benefit:

1. We get the blessings associated with selfless giving.
2. The poor and needy receive the blessings of food, shelter, medical care and education.
3. We get the benefit of the healing energy and our health improves.
4. As we regain our health and peace of mind, we are better able to love and care for those around us.

Amma is increasingly recognized by the world community for her deep spiritual wisdom combined with immense practical insight. Amma has been regularly invited by international organizations to address issues of religious differences, the environment and world peace.

In 2002, she was presented with the Gandhi-King Award for Non-violence, given in recognition of her lifelong work in furthering the principles of non-violence. During the same event, at the UN headquarters in Geneva, she gave the keynote address at the Global Peace Initiative of Women and Religious Leaders.

Amma's charities make very efficient use of our donations and the benefits go directly to the people who need it most.
