People from all walks of life converged on Kochi for a glimpse of or a tender hug from Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, affectionately referred to as Amma.
Amritavarsham 50 is not just a birthday celebration, but as Amma and her disciples believe, it is a spiritual gathering to pray for world peace and harmony. She believes that such a meeting of all faiths and nationalities is important in a world that is increasingly experiencing violence and tragedies.
