from Kerala by email: This is the same Amma ![]() "One of India's most famous women gurus has pledged a billion rupees ($23m) to help survivors of the Asian tsunami. "Mata Amritanandamayi, also known as Amma or Mother, says the money will be used to rebuild homes destroyed in the disaster. Correspondents say that the money pledged is higher than the amount promised by many international aid groups and business leaders. "Mata Amritanandamayi is best known for hugging people as a form of blessing and therapy. She is estimated to have to have hugged at least 21 million people in the past 30 years.
