Apart from taking us to the ultimate goal of Self-realization, it also teaches us the nature of the world, and how to understand life and live fully in the best way possible. Spirituality is the practical science of life. Amma, which translates to ‘mother’, was created in an effort to share traditional Indian home-style cooking, with the bustling metropolis of New York City.The lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, and spicy laal maas lamb are popular dishes that illustrate Amma’s ability to create deliciously traditional Indian dishes. “Just as a doctor gives different dosages or even different medications to patients with the same ailment according to their constitution, so does a Spiritual Master prescribe different methods to different people to reach the same goal. To attain this goal, Amma Ji states that no particular path or spiritual practice can be recommended for all. “By realizing our own Self we become full, with nothing more to gain in life. Such action is not just work it is karma yoga.”Īmma is always clear to point out that the purpose of one’s life is to realize who we really are. Detached, selfless action leads to liberation. Through selfless action we can eradicate the ego that conceals the Self.
Compassion and acts of selflessness take us to deeper truths. The engraving on that coin is selfless service, and that is what gives it its real value. Meditation and studying the scriptures are like two sides of a coin. And though the menu is largely familiar, Amma, taking a cue from Indian-fusion restaurants like Tamarind, serves main courses on individual plates, with nan, rice and vegetables, rather than family style.The service is genial, and the rosewater lassi actually tastes and smells of rosewater. The world should know that a life of dedication is possible, that a life inspired by love and service to humanity is possible. Living from moment to moment in a constant state of supreme happiness, Amma Ji warmly embraces thousands of people daily, wiping their tears, giving them her divine guidance and offering solace to all who come to her.Īmma says, “The beauty and charm of selfless love and service should not die away from the face of the earth. Amma Ji doesn’t teach anything that she herself does not practice. Being the embodiment of supreme motherhood, she welcomes every soul who comes to her, listening to his or her problems and offering advice and guidance, bringing reassurance to a troubled heart.Īmma’s life is her message. In Sanskrit, darshan means, “vision”, and it’s used to describe the meeting with a holy person, especially a Self Realized master. Earning international acclaim and recognition for her outstanding contributions to the world community, she is revered as an extraordinary spiritual leader by the UN and by people throughout the world.Īmma Ji will be in NYC July 8th through July 10th, 2008. ‘Amma’ as she is known all over the world, has inspired and started various humanitarian services.
