"Amma is integrating the best and the brightest. The synthesis She is creating is science (external reality), spirituality (the inner reality, the Self), and culture (the interaction between these two, inner and outer). This is what Amma is doing; directing great minds in this way…. Whenever I bring a fellow scientist to meet Amma, they always say it is a great blessing in their life".

"Amma often says that the Creator and the entire creation are one, and through the message of love—transcending the barriers of nations, language, casts, creeds, colours—she has embraced the entire humanity, the entire world. And this peace prize should be conferred on Amma,"

“… it was a great privilege to meet Mata Amritanandamayi and hear about the various things from her -her great wisdom, her great compassion. I am most impressed by the way she is looking at the problems of the poor. A tremendous education network has been set up under her leadership, starting from schools and now it has gone to engineering education, medical education and also research. And I am also very much impressed by the quality of the research scientists who are working in this organization.”

“Before I met Mata Amritanandamayi I was an agnostic. It was her love and compassion that attracted me. Amma is pure, unadulterated love and fun. People come to her with problems and go back with a smile. She has changed the way I look at life and business. She has made me fearless. Her philosophy: Let the world come on to you. As long as you are on the right track, there is nothing to fear. Her message for the IT industry: Do business, but allow others to grow.”

"That a person of Amma's background was talking authoritatively on technology and charity to people and how harmony had to be brought among all these! (Speaking of his 1st meeting with Amma. He and fellow renowned scientist and President of India APJ Abdul Kalam met with her for 1/2 hour.) Today again, the way She is motivating people!

"I see top-class experts gathered here. We speak of 'brain drain'—people going away to other places for work—but as a single person She has provided attractive courses to bring them back and serve the people as part of their work! So I see something very divine and attractive. A type of force emanates from Her. I think it cannot be defined by our analysis."

“Mata Amritanandamayi with her simplicity and universal love has made a significant contribution in uniting people, building teams as well as institutions for serving society.”

"A type of force emanates from Her. I think it cannot be defined by our analysis."

"I’m going to take this concept of love and compassion to the next level at HP [Hewlett-Packard]. This is an excellent model of how you really make a productive enterprise. I think we can apply that in a special way."
Dr. D.N. Srivastava, Senior Scientist, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai

"A society having only the government system, no matter how powerful and sincere, cannot survive for long without the solid base provided by spirituality. One plausible solution is to evolve a new universal religion. Now, only a vague outline can be speculated. Fortunately to have a glimpse of a sage of that universal religion, we have not to wait for some distant future. Sri Mata Amritanandamayi's life and work is a living example of universal love and service."
