When a flower is still a bud, we cannot experience its beauty or fragrance. We have to wait patiently for the bud to unfold on its own. Only then can we fully experience its beauty and fragrance.
Mata Amritanandamayi, also known as Amma
Mata Amritanandamayi is known throughout the world as Amma, or Mother, for her selfless love and compassion toward all beings. Her entire life has been dedicated to alleviating the pain of the poor, and those suffering physically and emotionally.
Throughout her life, Mata Amritanandamayi has embraced and comforted more than 40 million people. Amma inspires, uplifts, and transforms through her embrace, her spiritual wisdom and through her global charities, known as Embracing the World.® When asked where she gets the energy to help so many people, she answers: "Where there is true love, anything is effortless."
While Amma is widely regarded as one of India’s foremost spiritual leaders, Amma says that her religion is love. She has never asked anyone to change their religion but only to contemplate the essential principles of their own faith and to try to live accordingly.
Several volunteers gathered at Amma Canada Center on May 9 to cook vegetarian chili for guests at Georgetown Bread Basket.
Hundreds of artists from around the globe
have lovingly donated their heartfelt creations to Amma as a way of expressing gratitude for the light she brings into their lives. All proceeds support Amma's Humanitarian Activities.
Together, we carefully placed each sapling into the earth, mulched, watered, and staked them, ensuring they will thrive for decades to come.
