Amma – Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, the Chancellor of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University
Amma says, When we study in a college striving to become a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer -- this is education for a living. Education for life requires understanding of the world; our minds, our emotions and ourselves. The real goal of education is not to create people who only understand the language of machines. The main purpose of education must be to import a culture of the hearts -- a culture based on spiritual values.

Amma’s guidance, blessing and vision are the foundations of institutions like Amrita University, Amrita Vidyalayams, Amrita Institute of Medical Science, Amrita Life, Amrita Televisionand Amrita Kalakshetra
