Biography
of 'Amma' Padmavati
A short biography of
Amma Padmavati, the wife of Sri Bhagavan
 |
Sri Amma was born the 15th of
August 1954 in the beautiful village Sangham in the state of
Andhra Pradesh, South India. She is loved for her wisdom and childlike
simplicity and has difficulties in saying no when asked. That is said to
be one reason of the tremendous miracles happening when people ask her
for help. Amma had already become quite well known for her mystic
powers, and her ability to grant boons and perform miracles. She was
regarded in her village as an aspect of the Divine Mother.. We could say
that Bhagavan and Amma are one being in two bodies and both of them can
transfer the state of Oneness to any amount of people. Bhagavan is
guiding this process while Amma is generating tremendous energy so that
the Oneness state will become available for everybody.
When Bhagavan and Padmavati were introduced to each other, they
immediately recognized each other and knew that they were meant to be
together and work together. Their marriage took place on June 9, 1977.
They have a son by name 'Krishna'. When asked about healing, Bhagavan
often tells people to ask Amma as she will react faster than him since
she is an embodiment of Shakti, the feminine divine power. Those who
have an inner contact (friendship) with both Bhagavan as well as Amma
will get Oneness much easier as there will be harmony of yin and yang
within.
In the 1980's Sri Amma, Bhagavan, and his friend and disciple from
childhood, Shankarji, opened a spiritual school called
Jeevashram. The divine phenomenon took
birth in July 1989, when suddenly the students began to experience great
states of cosmic consciousness. Great miracles became a daily happening
in the lives of these students and many of them became like real
prophets and mystics. After some time Bhagavan and Amma selected six
students as their direct disciples and began their real project--to
transfer the Oneness state to mankind.
From this humble official beginning in 1991 Sri Bhagavan's Golden Age
Movement has today approximately 30-40 millions members from all over
the world. This number is increasing daily and many new countries get
added every passing year.
