Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma) — “The Hugging Saint”
Amma’s spiritual satsang called Amrita Ganga is now telecast in Hindi on:
Aastha channel — Saturdays at 10 PM
Star Bharat — Sundays at 6:30 AM
Divya channel — Sundays at 8 AM
The 20-minute program features soulful bhajans and moments from Amma’s global tours.
Amma’s head disciple, Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri, says Amma communicates through the universal “Language of Love”, transcending language and culture by healing people’s hearts.
Known worldwide for her unconditional love and motherly hugs, Amma has embraced over 40 million people in 32 years, earning her the title “The Hugging Saint.”
Amma’s humanitarian work is global; her ashram and centers operate worldwide and have a special consultative status at the United Nations.
She has delivered speeches at the United Nations and the Parliament of the World’s Religions, received prestigious awards (including the Gandhi-King Award for Non-violence), and was invited by Pope Francis to the Vatican to sign a declaration against modern slavery.
Amma emphasizes that true love makes all efforts effortless and transformative.
