Wherever it can flow, it does so, nourishing culture. On the other hand, the same knowledge, if devoid of values becomes a source of destruction for the world. When values and knowledge become one, there can be no more powerful instrument for the welfare of humankind. Today, physicists have even begun investigating the possibility that the essential substratum of the manifest universe and the individual are one and the same. We are standing on the threshold of a new era wherein material science and spirituality will move forward hand in hand.” AMMA’s Prayer 1 “It is AMMA’s prayer that we develop the expansive-mindedness to embrace both scientific knowledge and spiritual wisdom. We can no longer afford to see these two streams of knowledge as flowing in opposite directions. In truth, they complement one another. If we merge these streams, we will find that we are able to create a mighty river-a river whose waters can remove suffering and spread life to all of humanity.” AMMA’s Desire 2 “AMMA has a desire. Everyone in the world should be able to sleep without fear, at least for one night. Everyone should be able to eat to his or her fill, at least for one day. There should be at least one day when hospitals see no one admitted due to violence. By doing selfless service for at least one day, everyone - from little children to the very elderly - should help raise money for the poor and needy, even if by making toys. It is AMMA’s prayer that at least this small dream be realised.” AMMA’s Dream 3 “It is a vision of a world in which women and men progress together, a world in which all men respect the fact that, like the two wings of a bird, women and men are of equal value for without the two in perfect balance, humanity cannot progress.” 1.

AMMA - Our inspiration Satguru Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, affectionately called AMMA by Her devotees, is the embodiment of love and compassion. She devotes every moment of Her life for the suffering humanity. AMMA warmly embraces thousands of people day after day, wiping their tears, offering solace and giving them Her divine guidance. AMMA’s compassion crosses all the barriers of nationality, race, caste and religion. AMMA recommends the path of selfless service and love, exemplified by Her own life. 2. Mata Amritanandamayi Math The Math was established to disseminate the message of AMMA - universal love and selfless service. AMMA says. “There are two kinds of education - education for life and education for livelihood”. It is Her wish to bring the two together, creating professionals in all fields with skills, mental strength and the heart to uplift the world. With this vision the Math has established a vast network of educational institutions throughout India, including Schools in Engineering, Business, Medicine, Pharmacy, Biotechnology and Science & Humanities that provide the most modern education while making the students imbibe the traditional values of Indian Culture. 3.
