In response to the devastating earthquake in Pakistan and Kashmir in
October 2005, Amma sent two of her disciples, Bri. Rasamrita Chaitanya
and Br. Abhayamrita Chaitanya, along with volunteers from the Delhi
Ashram, to the region to console victims, distribute food and relief
materials, and provide other assistance. Hundreds of blankets sent
from Amritapuri were also distributed.
Bri. Rasamrita and the volunteers organized games, painting contests,
and other cultural programs to help keep the children active and to
focus their minds away from their recent traumatic experience.
Br. Abhaymarita also visited four villages in the region, met with
government officials of Kashmir, and expressed the Ashram’s desire to
adopt two or three villages.
