What are students saying?

Grounded in Amma's teachings!

Revathi, USA

I have enjoyed learning Malayalam with Amritapushpa chechi and my class cohorts, as the course content is grounded in Amma's teachings. During these difficult times, it has brought us closer to Amma. I hope to be able to speak and write to Amma in Malayalam. Thank you for this opportunity.

Far beyond words!

France, Canada

To me, this course is far beyond words. It is part of my sadhana, my commitment and craving for God. I feel Amma's presence. The very first video class I watched, I suddenly cried. Amma finds different ways to reach us according to our preferences and abilities. In a few months or years, I may forget some vocabulary, but my heart will be more fulfilled and free.

It was so much fun!

Jayshree, USA

The Amritabhaasha class was very, very good. I learned so much about Malayalam in only a few short weeks. I am sure any of the students would recommend it. It was so much fun! It centers around real-world conversations, as if you were speaking with Amma. It reinforces spiritual teachings and allows you to "play" with Amma. It is a sadhana in its own right.

Excellent teacher!

Susi, Germany

The Amritabhaasha Malayalam class takes you straight to the core of Amma's teachings of love and compassion. The topics highlight the main points of Amma's satsangs and bhajans. Amritapushpa is an excellent teacher who is able to present this vast ocean of Malayalam in a playful way. After a few classes I was able to understand the basic structure of sentences and keywords which instantly made me feel much more connected to Amma. I felt that the meaning of her teachings sunk deep into my memory.

Student Essay

Sudha, Amritabhaasha Student

Ammade joli enthanu?

Darshanam kodukkan Amma lokam yatra cheyunnu. Alinganam, sneham, mantra diksham, vibhutiyum, chocolatum kodukkan Amma valare samayam kaselayil irrikkunnu. Amma ella karyangallum prasanavum anyeshyikunnu sankalpikunnu; arogyam adhyatmikam, grihastam jivitha karyangale patti updeshikunnu.

Nammude Amma visva Maatavu anu.

Translation - What is Amma's job?

Amma travels the world to give darshan. Amma sits for a long time on a chair to give a hug, love, mantra, sacred ash, and chocolate. Amma enquires about all our problems, health, spirituality, family and other matters in our life. She makes a divine resolve and advises us on these matters. Amma leads the White Flower Meditation for all living beings and the entire creation. Amma's projects include hospitals, schools, ashrams, orphanages, and Mother's Kitchen. Our mother is mother to all.
