The Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is a multi campus teaching and research university in India that has been accredited 'A' by NAAC. Efforts of the Mata Amritanandamayi Math include disaster relief, food distribution, environmental programs, scholarship funding, medical treatment and vocational training. Amma has humanitarian organizations all around the world whose mission it is to help the poor and destitute. The 11th house represents humanitarian work, social causes, revolution and large groups. The 1st house ruler Venus is placed in Leo in the 11th house, in the nakshatra Magha. She breaks through all social boundaries, helping people from a great diversity of backgrounds. In Amma’s case, her fiery ambition was directed towards spirituality and consciousness raising. The ascendant is in Vishakha, a nakshatra known for its ambition, determination, courage and ability to break through boundaries. Saturn exalted in the first house is known as sasha yoga and confers tremendous discipline, responsibility, work ethic and desire to serve. In honour of her incredible contribution to humanity and helping the world's most vulnerable, I am posting an astrological chart analysis so that you can see the excellence with which she is living out her karmic life purpose.Īscendant is Libra and Saturn sits exalted in the first house. Even after hugging thousands of people, it was incredible that when I got onto the stage to hug her she still smelled of lavender.

There was a spiritual talk by one of her devotees and then she sat on the stage in her usual cross legged position and sang beautiful songs of worship. I felt a strong desire to attend and receive the benefit of being in her energetic field. Before going I researched her background and found out all the humanitarian work she was doing. After having a puja, the swami who performed the ceremony for me who was a follower of hers recommended I see her the following week. I had heard of Amma before this but never got a chance to learn about her work. I felt wonderful upon hugging her as she said a prayer out loud for me.

On Amma's recent tour to Toronto in July I had the opportunity to meet her and receive her darshan.
