Amma our guiding star
“This is the most heroic person
I’ve probably ever met.”
‑ Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize Winner
Mata Amritanandamayi Devi,
popularly known as AMMA (‘Mother’), is
an Indian Hindu spiritual leader, a Satguru,
who is revered as a ‘Hugging Saint’ by her
followers. AMMA presents the kind of
leadership we need for our planet to
survive. AMMA says that love expressed
is compassion, and compassion means
accepting the needs and sorrows of
others as one’s own.
