Amrita Kutumbam
|
Over 10,000 families in India are earnestly applying Amma's
teachings in their lives. They spend about two hours every
week doing spiritual practises like meditation, bhajan singing,
and group chanting of the Divine name. This takes place in
the form of Amrita kutumbams, the basic organisational units
of Mata Amritanandamayi Math, in which a few spiritually inclined
families from the same area gather together once a week to
become recharged spiritually.

The devotees give enthusiastic feedback about
the results they experience: "It has helped us to get
rid of bad habits such as smoking, drinking and gambling." "Our
tension and worries are getting replaced by peace and joy." |
|
"We experience that the collective worship ensures prosperity
in our home and removes all malefic afflictions from the family."
Pujas are conducted in the members' homes, each one taking a turn
on a different day of the week. The collective spiritual vibrations
charge the atmospheres of the houses and have a strong positive
influence on the characters of the family members. Participants
enthusiastically report other benefits:
- Formation of strong bonds of love and mutual help among the
family members and devotees
- Speedy recovery from illness and depression
- Development of children's faith in God and respect towards elders
- Fulfilment of the desire to be in contact with Amma's service
activities

At periodic intervals, mass pujas involving different units
of Amritakutumbams from the same region are also conducted
under the guidance of brahmacharis. At present over 1000 units
of Amritakutumbams are successfully functioning in India,
mainly in the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka,
and in cities like Ahmedabad, Baroda, Benares, Bhopal, Bhilai,
Dehradun, Mumbai, Lucknow, Kanpur and Jaipur.
