TEACHINGS

Accessible to all
and universal in their wisdom and appeal

Essence

Amma's teachings are timeless and universal, while conveyed in a way that makes them accessible to all - regardless of their religious, education or cultural background. Amma has never asked anyone to change their religion, only to go deeper into their values or faith, and to live by those essential principles.

Love

"Real love is the complete absence of any negative feelings towards anyone."

Nature

"Our desires have increased one by one, and in our rush to fulfil them, we have been abusing Nature. What we are seeing now is Nature’s retaliation. When we lost our dharma, Nature lost hers too. Just as each nation has a set code of laws, the universe also has a set code of conduct called dharma. It is this code that maintains the harmony of life.”

Women

"In God's creation, men and women are equal. But over the centuries, the sad condition of women has not significantly improved. Women, who give birth to humankind, should be assured an equal role in society."

Education

"When we study in college, striving to become a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer, that is education for a living. But education for life requires an understanding of the essential principles of spirituality; it is about gaining a deeper understanding of the world, our minds, our emotions and ourselves."
