Many elderly people and even small babies from all over the world live in Amritapuri today. Over the years, Amritapuri has evolved in order to offer maximum basic comforts for any type of person. Today, the large auditorium where the devotional singing takes place is where Amma gives darshan. Amma used to give darshan there until it became too small for the growing crowds. From 1988-1992, the Kali main temple was built.
Later a few huts were built on the father’s original land, followed by the first small cement constructions. It is the family’s original cowshed, which became the first place for Amma to sit and meet people. The most special place is the old Krishna temple or the Kalari. The lands around the parents’ original home were bought over the years whenever more space was needed.
With time and as the number of people coming to see Amma and stay with her increased, the place started to expand. The location is exactly where Amma’s parents’ old house used to stand. It is not only Amma’s main ashram, but it is also the very place where she was born and grew up as a child. Everyone is always welcome to visit, whether as a regular long-term visitor, a one-day visiting tourist, or a serious spiritual seeker.Īmritapuri translates into 'Amma’s abode.' For many, Amritapuri is a sacred place. Amritapuri is today a fast growing small city with about 3,000 residents.
Located in the small fishing village Parayakadavu on the coast of Kerala, the Amritapuri ashram (also called the Mata Amritanandamayi Math) is one hour north of Kollam, 2.5 hours north of Trivandrum and three hours south of Kochi.
