Gujarat Earthquake Relief
The earthquake that hit Gujarat on January 26th, 2001
was one of the worst disasters in Indian history—thousands
were killed and entire towns and villages were demolished.
Amma immediately sent doctors, ambulances and other
volunteers to the region. They set broken bones, performed
surgeries, created shelters and in general cleaned
up the carnage.

After the initial horror was quelled, many
relief groups left the region. But the M.A. Math
stayed to completely rebuild three villages—constructing
some 1200 earthquake-proof houses, medical clinics,
water tanks, schools, community halls, temples
and mosques. A year later Amma Herself came to
give the villagers darshan.
She was received by thousands, including
the Union Home Minister of India Sri. L.K. Advani,
the Governor of Gujarat Sri. S.S. Bhandari and
Chief Minister of Gujarat Sri. Narendra Modi. |
