Story behind Amma Sanctuary:
Amma Sanctuary began with a childhood dream of
Nandhi. As a child Nandhi was pained to see
truck loads after truck loads of terrified cows,
oxen and buffaloes all crammed together and
taken to the slaughterhouse. Around Sivakasi
(Nandhi’s home town) and the surrounding areas
were vast areas of waste thorn lands not fit for
the purpose of agriculture or forestry and
Nandhi would dream that one day, he would have
make a huge farm out of this vast expanse of
land. He dreamt that if 50% of the agricultural
produce of this vast farm was given to feed the
poor, it could sustain so many people. This
dream would often make Nandhi restless and
ambitious to implement although he was still a
child because it all felt so easily accomplished
with common sense.
Years later, as a yogi on pilgrimages, Nandhi’s
childhood dream was woken up as blessings from
enlightened yogis received through the ancient
words “Saivam Vetri”. It was during this period,
that Mata Amritandamayi, the revered hugging
saint, known to all as Amma, honoured Nandhi’s
parent’s home with Her auspicious presence. When
Nandhi told Amma of the deep desire to start
this animal sanctuary, Amma smiled and told him,
“Amma is with you. Just do it, son of Siva”.
These words were powerful. They inspired Nandhi
to bring into focus the reality of his childhood
dream.
Years later, Nandhi settled in
Santa Monica,
California
with Amma’s divine presence guiding him. With
Amma’s energy of love, fearlessness and purpose,
Nandhi was able to create the foundations of the
animal sanctuary. Nandhi met Amma in Los Angeles and told Amma about the
unfolding exciting reality. Nandhi requested
Amma if he could utilize Her name since it was
She who was the driving force behind this
endeavour. Amma said, “Son, of course! What you
are doing is wonderful”. These words for Nandhi
meant an assurance that it is Amma enabling this
grand project of humanity with Her supreme love,
compassion and abundance for all on planet earth
through Amma Sanctuary, the debut project of
Ariven Community.
Today, Amma Sanctuary emerges as just what a
Mother is- a home for thousands of old animals
saved from slaughter and cared for with love
while enabling a giant organic farm that feeds
50% of its vegetarian produce to the poor and
needy while the other half sustains a global
vegetarian diet.
