The Mother Who Influenced the Mother of All

Makes me really happy
Studying at my own pace is extremely important for me. That's exactly what AVA offers, which makes me really happy. The patience, dedication and teaching from the heartfelt instructors is wonderful...

A virtual holy space
I took the Ganjira course at Amrita Virtual Academy — a virtual holy space inspired by Amma. The effort was worth it to grow closer to Amma’s teachings and the feelings of inner spiritual presence this musical sadhana offers.

I can hear the birds
One thing I like most: I can hear the birds and animals in Amritapuri in the background. How lovely that is! - sitting on a sofa in Berlin...

So very well explained
The cooking sessions are very well explained and the camera-work really is excellent.
I can see—and nearly feel —exactly how the added ingredients are looking in the pot/pan.
I am very happy.

Grateful
Lots of high quality, well-filmed content—grateful for the opportunity to learn this way 🙏💖 ... Very good platform!

A great inner companion
Bhajans are a great inner companion — always offering positive thoughts and vibrations — in contrast with what we sometimes have to hear when living in the world. Immersing ourselves in bhajans is like wearing a shield!

Thank you
Thank you for always finding ways to encourage us to to get closer to Amma and her teachings through the AVA courses.

Sweet
Learning an instrument is a very easy and sweet way to keep your mind on God all day, because you go so deep into the lesson that you can spend a great part of the day delving into the bhajan you are studying that week.
