The chefs and front of the house staff, labor to ensure the shared vision of the team is never compromised. Amma dreams of a golden time and society where men and women are equal 29 January 2020 The 11th edition of the Hindu Spiritual and Service Fair was inaugurated by Amma at the Gurunanak college in Chennai on Tuesday. One could easily fathom being in a lavish home whilst dining at Amma.
A mother of two kids (daughter Anu and son Raju), she had learned early on that both food and a home were about much more than what meets the eye.Īt Amma, she has brought a team of professionals to assist her in sharing her vision of creating a unique space, manageable in size and able to give the feeling of a lavish private dining space.
The colors for the walls, the fabrics for the chairs and banquettes as also the light fixtures, all reflect her desire to create a space that has the signature of a mother and a home. The recipes are based on what has been enjoyed in the kitchens of mothers, and are translated with respect for home cooking, and, made to work and compliment a restaurant environment.Īnju Sharma spent great time in collecting her thoughts about the ambience. It would be dishonest to say the food at Amma is cooked in the style of mothers from India. Amma celebrates mothers all over by remembering them by its name. To honor them, and to bring back an honest setting where food could be savored and celebrated, she thought of opening Amma (mother,in several of the Sub Continental languages). Memories of the foods she had eaten in the kitchens of her mother and that of her mother-in-law, remained fresh in her mind long after the demise of these two women. She departs, Her shoulder stained with the marks of Her toil, Her cheek dark from hours of kissing, but She is still fresh as ever, Her eyes aglow with the radiant light of the Soul.Owner, Anju Sharma, a New Yorker by the way of Old Delhi, wanted to share something Indian and yet new in New York City. On Her birthday celebrations, Amma has given darshan for twenty-two hours at a stretch with barely a break.
With a pause here, a glimpse there, She instils moments of transformation. She knows exactly our need of the moment. Amma listens to our spoken words and unspoken thoughts, hugs the devotees and whispers a word or two in their ears. – AmmaĮach person’s darshan is a fresh experience because Amma Herself is ever fresh – spontaneous. To lovingly caress people, to console and wipe their tears until the end of this mortal frame – this is Amma’s wish. Hers is an unconditional love which expresses itself through the unique vehicle of Her darshan: being ushered into the awesome presence of a Master, the sheer power of Her gaze, the indescribable sweetness of Her smile, the hug that ensconces one in eternity, the earthy voice whispering words of assurance, the gentle nuzzle on the cheek, and the gift of prasad.Īs long as there is strength in these hands to reach out to those who come to her, Amma will continue to give darshan. No mere human resources could accomplish this.” Abdul Kalam, to attend, looking for spiritual transformation and encouragement. Organizers of the event expect half a million people, including India's President A.P.J. Just her stamina – embracing these millions of people one by one, day after day, without a break, all over the world – is some kind of divine gift. Amritanandamayi, known by her followers as Amma,'' which means mother'' in many Indian languages, is marking her 50th birthday with a weeklong celebration starting Wednesday. Timothy Conway, Ph.D., author of the book Women of Power and Grace and expert on spiritual figures, describes Amma as “one of the most glorious lights to appear in the history of religion.
