Retreat with Amma - Online registration available!
Amma's U.S. and Canada Summer Tour - 2004

Amma's Summer tour dates are posted here.

A Retreat with Amma has such unique events planned such that we feel much closer to her. Closeness to Amma is a state of being open to what she has to offer...Her infinite love and guidance. Blessed are those who benefit from it and lead happier and richer lives. In addition to the usual retreat agenda comprising of Meditation with Amma, Question and Answer session with her, bhajans, satsang and Amma personally giving food to her children, we have the free IAM meditation courses also included. This is a great way of making the best use of our time in our otherwise busy schedules. Now, we have online registration available for the retreats with Amma during her 2004 U.S. Summer tour.

Gems to treasure

News

Journalist to Amma: Amma what is your opinion about the news and news media?

Amma:Very good, if they discharge their responsibilities to society with honesty and truthfulness. They do a great service to humanity.

Amma has heard a story: Once, a group of men were sent to a forest to work for a year. Two women were appointed to cook for them. At the end of the contract, two workers in the group married the two women. The next day the newspaper carried the not news: " Two Percent of Men Marry 100 Percent of Women!"

The Journalist enjoyed the story and had a good laugh.

Amma:Such reporting is okay if it is for humour, but not for an honest report.

Briefly excerpted from the book " From Amma's Heart"



Humanitarian Activities
This section highlights one of Amma's innumerable Humanitarian activities.

Green Friends

Amma says, "God is in everything, not just human beings. God is in the mountains, the rivers and the trees, in the birds and the animals, in the clouds, the sun, the moon and the stars. Everything in nature has a purpose to fulfill. There are no mistakes in God’s Creation."

"Every creature and every object that has been created by God is utterly special. How can anyone who understands this want to kill and destroy?"

"We are all born from the same source – the womb of nature is our universal heritage. In today’s world there is an urgent need to stop environmental pollution and abuse of Nature’s resources. To make this possible, a very deep change in individual attitude is essential."

With the ‘Green Friends’ program, Amma’s concern is to create this shift in people’s consciousness. When we love all of creation as God’s gift, feelings of respect, care and a duty to protect Nature automatically follow. This is the spiritual inspiration and vision behind Green Friends.
