History of Amritapuri
Before the Ashram came into existence, it was Amma’s house under a cow shed. The Brahmacharis coming here used to sleep at the sands. Amma used to live in a small hut adjacent to her parents’ home. Later the hut was transformed into a kitchen where the Amma’s female followers used to live. The ‘Darshan’ was held at the cow shed. Later, Amma’s father converted it into a temple.
Later, as the disciples increased, a big hall was constructed. The construction continued from 1988 – 92.
