Amma in San Ramon 2019 - Nostalgia

Amma's Visit to MA Center San Ramon
9-14 June, 2019

Amma’s second stop of the Summer Tour 2019 took place at the beautiful MA Center in San Ramon, Amma’s first ashram in the United States. Once a barren landscape, MA Center is now is a pure example of Amma’s vision to bring harmony to nature through sustainable and compassionate techniques for the cultivation of land and resources.

It was Amma’s wish to plant 1000 fruit trees on the ashram grounds. She blessed the 1000th sapling after the question and answer session at the retreat.
Amma also fed the swans, geese and goslings that reside in the ashram pond who lovingly flocked towards her.
During the question and answer session at the retreat, Amma spoke a few words about Nature, saying: “The creation and the Creator are not two, for when we see Mother Nature as the embodiment of God, we will automatically serve and protect her. There are sparks of love inherent in everyone and God’s grace is everywhere. Children, try and see the oneness in all of creation.”
