Press Release 07/18/2024 World renowned humanitarian and spiritual
leader, Mata Amritanandamayi, also known as Amma (Mother), will be returning to
the Boston area this August with her simple yet profound message: Love is our
true essence. By cultivating love and compassion within ourselves, we can
create a ripple effect that spreads healing and harmony throughout the world. Amma has traveled the world for decades,
touching millions of lives with her boundless love and compassion in the form
of an embrace and through her humanitarian efforts. In Amma’s arms, many
describe experiencing a feeling of radiant and unconditional love. Amma has embraced more than 40 million
people all over the world. “When people come to see me, I understand how much
they are suffering,” explains Amma. “When I see them crying, I wipe their
tears. My main goal is to console them and help them experience peace and
love.” When people pour out their hearts to Amma, she offers them emotional
solace, spiritual guidance, and concrete solutions to their problems.
Compassion in Action Amma's life is a testament to selfless
service and compassion in action. She encourages us to look beyond our
individual concerns and embrace the collective responsibility of caring for one
another and our planet. Amma’s global humanitarian network,
Embracing the World (embracingtheworld.org)
encompasses educational initiatives, disaster relief, housing programs,
schools, orphanages, hospitals, medical assistance, environmental conservation
efforts, anti-human trafficking programs, and more. Inspired by Amma's message and her work of
caring for the disadvantaged, groups of volunteers gather in shelters and soup
kitchens on a regular basis under the name “Mother's Kitchen” and presently
serve 73,000 meals a year to the homeless and hungry in 40 cities throughout
North America. New England volunteers organize regular
food drives, donating to area pantries and delivering excess baked goods from
large grocery stores to Boston homeless shelters. To
date, volunteers have collected and donated over 1,500 pairs of tube socks to a
Providence homeless shelter. Youth
volunteers regularly visit a Brookline nursing home, bringing cheer to
residents through singing popular songs karaoke-style. Residents look forward
to these visits and join in the sing-a-longs. Free programs: July 31 and Aug 1, All day program: 11:00am August 2, Morning: 10:00am, Evening 7:00pm
