True spirituality is compassion in action – it begins and culminates in compassion. If we could transform compassion from a mere word into a path of action, we would be able to solve 90% of the world’s humanitarian problems." In order to put Amma's words into practice, AYUDHians of Bhubaneswar visited the residents of Sahaya destitute patients' homes at Janla, Bhubaneswar during Amma's Birthday 2022.

On occasion of Diwali they visited Mauli Anath Ashram,an orphanage at Baneshwar and celebrated Diwali &Bhai dooj with the children over there. AYUDHians gave Sweets, Crackers and many other gifts to the Children and performed rituals of Bhai Dhooj.
"Sanatana Dharma teaches us that the creation and creator are not two, but one. Nature is a visible form of God. Our birth mother may allow us to sit on her lap for a couple of years, But Mother Earth allows us to tread on her our entire life” Amma's words inspired AYUDH Baneshwar to regain their inner connection with Nature.
AYUDH AV Mumbai celebrated ‘Amritavarsham 69’ this year in a different manner. The AYUDH representatives from the team visited a slum in Juinagar to distribute gifts to the slum children. Before visiting the slum, the AYUDH Team in Amrita Vidyalayam Mumbai spent days together collecting clothes, stationary, books, other school essentials and gifts for the children. All AYUDH members enthusiastically contributed for the great cause.
A visit to Amritapuri, Kerala was organized for the first team of AYUDH ASIP Participants of Ahmedabad Chapter, Gujarat. After the month-long Internship Program, the AYUDHians have been longing to meet Amma and to see Amritapuri Ashram, the headquarters of Mata Amritanandamayi Math.
The AYUDH 'ASIP' Program ends on a positive note, when each AYUDHian kept a Diya forming the words 'Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu', to symbolize that they are inspired to spread the knowledge they imbibed during the program to others.
On ‘Amritavarsham 69’ Amma said, “Take a seed and put it in some soil with some manure and wrap it up in a piece of paper. Drop those seed balls in a place where they can sprout—either around your house or in some wooded area. The more saplings you can plant, the better. This would be the greatest gift you can give to Amma,”
AYUDHians who are participating in the Self-Management Workshop decided to put this into practice. They enthusiastically participated in the Seedball Workshop which was held as part of the AYUDH Internship Program.
'Let’s win together'- the participants of AYUDH Self-Management Internship Program learned, what Amma often mentions with an example in Amma's Satsang - how the innocent children won together when they participated in a running race in a Special Olympics. Through an awesome Unity Game, the AYUDHians learned how they act in a similar situation, which was a great introspection for them.
IAM Meditation Training was conducted for the participants of AYUDH Self-Management Internship Program. Meditation is the effective Self-Management strategy and all ASIP participants have taken a pledge that they will integrate IAM practice to their daily routine.
Bhagavad Gita shines as the beacon light of knowledge, inspiring millions to tread the path of Dharma. Life Management lessons as depicted by Gita was one of the most inspiring event in the AYUDH Self-Management Internship Program. Amma says “In the Gita, Lord Krishna teaches that spirituality is something we have to live in our day-to-day life – it is for everyone, and is especially applicable to all who want to live life full of happiness and contentment”
