"“Faith in God is to strengthen your faith in you, the faith in your own Self.This is, in other words, called Self-confidence, confidence in your own Self. If that is not there, you cannot succeed in life."

Overview



Community Activities

There are several individuals in our satsang; who are actively volunteering in hospice, handicapped children's facilities, working with brain-damaged patients, volunteering for grocery shopping for the elderly in their respective neighbourhoods.

These are individuals doing whatever they can, whilst maintaining families and demanding careers, to help fellow beings in need – the true essence of Amma’s teachings – SELFLESS SERVICE.
