Amritavarsham 72 | Amma's 72 Birthday Celebration

September 27, 2025, Amritapuri

It is with immense joy that we extend this invitation to you to join us as a distinguished guest at the birthday celebrations of beloved spiritual leader and humanitarian, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi—Amma.
The event will take place on September 27, 2025, at the Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Campus in Amritapuri, Kerala, India.
Amma has dedicated her entire life to helping others—through her motherly embrace, through her spiritual wisdom and through her vast array of charitable social-welfare programmes. As such, each year on Amma’s birthday, lakhs of devotees from around the world travel to Amritapuri to receive Amma’s darshan, to listen to her satsang, and to witness the Mata Amritanandamayi Math extend the depth and breath of its humanitarian outreach.
We sincerely hope you will be able to join us in celebrating this historic and auspicious occasion. Your esteemed presence would fill us with joy and add to the splendour of the event.
