Amma's program in London this year was held in Sandown Park, Esher Surrey on the 1st and 2nd of November. In the evening of the first day, there was a special program with some accomplished guests who participated and honored Amma's visit to London.

Here are some of the highlights from the evening:

Amma's 32nd visit to the land of the alps, Winterthur, Switzerland

Amma's third stop on the European tour was Winterthur, Switzerland. It was a busy weekend where people gathered from all 4 language regions of the country for a three day program.

On the first day, Amma was welcomed by his Excellency Mr. Sibi George, the Ambassador of India to Switzerland, Liechtenstein and the Holy See. The Ambassador thanked Amma for her 32nd visit to "the land of the alps" and her tireless effort of spreading her message of love and peace around the world.

"Everytime you embrace a human soul, it is felt everywhere in the world"

October 15 and 16 marked the 20th visit of Amma to the Netherlands. It was Amma’s 32nd Europe tour. Amma arrived early afternoon from the German Amma Center Hof Herrenberg. Devotees had created a Kerala style Pookalam of flowers, autumn colored leaves and pine cones to welcome Amma.

Excerpts from the message of Amma on the occasion of her 66th Birthday Celebrations

Children, seeing all of you gathered here today, united in love, Amma feels like she is looking at a garland made from many beautiful flowers of different colours. Although this is a time of celebration, when Amma thinks about the suffering people in the many parts of the world plagued by war, natural disasters, riots and violence, she feels a lot of pain. Extreme weather with severe summer heat and incessant rain, natural calamities and epidemics have affected Kerala and other states.

Humanitarian and spiritual leader Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi was today awarded with an honorary Doctorate of Letters (D.Litt. Honoris Causa) by the University of Mysore.

From December 22nd to December 26th, 2018 AYUDH India hosted more than 1000 youth representatives from all over the country for their Leaders’ Training Summit “Now is the Future.” The summit began with an inaugural ceremony that featured AYUDH leaders from all around the world, expressing their individual experiences with AYUDH in Germany, Spain, Singapore, Australia, Latin America, the United States and India. It was a beautiful moment of unity amongst thousands of youth from nearly every continent - coming together in a common goal of service to humanity.

In order to help search for a global solution to the burgeoning crisis of online sexual abuse of children, Amma participated in the Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities’ first forum, “Child Dignity in the Digital World,” at the invitation of the Government of the United Arab Emirates.
