In the wake of the catastrophic fires on the island of Maui, many devotees sent relief items to Hawaii, and the MA Centers made financial support available for Maui relief. Amma shared the following message:
"Amma is aware of the deadly wildfire on the island of Maui in Hawaii. Seeing the devastation there is heartbreaking. All we can do for those who lost their lives is pray, hoping their souls attain a higher birth and eternal peace. May their loved ones gather the mental strength to bear this tragic loss. Amma joins the entire population of Hawaii in grieving for them. While Amma is unable to be there personally to comfort each individual, her heart weeps in prayer for all of you. She prays to the Paramatma to grant mental and inner strength to all who are suffering."
— Amma (Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi)
