Mata Amritanandamayi

Mātā Amṛtānandamayī Devi(माता अमृतानन्‍दमयी), also known as 'Amma', 'Ammachi' or 'Mother' (born September 27, 1953), was born Sudhamani in the small village of Parayakadavu, near Kollam, Kerala. She is widely respected as a loving humanitarian and revered by some as a saint.

Miracles

Many of Amritanandamayi's followers believe in her powers to perform miracles. For instance, she mentioned in an interview given to The Week (Kottayam, Kerala, September 21, 2003) that she is often asked by her devotees to perform miracles. She goes on to say that water was miraculously changed to panchamrutham (a sweet often prepared for Hindu religious ceremonies) in her presence and that her devotees were able to light lamps out of conches filled with water. Hearing of such miracles causes many people to become skeptical of her powers while it fuels more devotion in others.
