"Amma, the moment we saw your face

When Amma adopts a village, she gives the people there everything she possibly can: food, shelter, medicine, education, jobs, love The villagers of Samanthampettai (Nagore Village, Nagapattinam District, Tamil Nadu) were both excited and in tears. They thanked Amma for coming and blessing their village. Amma told them, "There is no need to thank Amma. Amma is not a guest. Amma is a member of your family." The villagers then told Amma that they wanted to rename their village after Her—"Amritakupam," or Immortal Cove. They asked Amma to unveil a placard immortalising the event. "Amma doesn't need any board," Amma said. "Your happiness is my board." The villagers responded, "Amma, the moment we saw your face, we forget all of our sorrows. We are all happy."
