In his inaugural speech, Dr. Joshi expressed
Amma's greatness by saying, "We are fortunate enough to live
in that century when a divine personality like Amma is moving

is what Amma embodies." |

Dr. Joshi also mentioned the various services rendered by the
M.A.Math, providing all basic necessities for the needy, covering
health, housing, hunger and education. "While the governments lag
behind in providing these facilities, Amma has worked wonders.
Amma's service to the entire humanity is fast expanding, and is
wholehearted and selfless. She expects nothing in return. Divinity
Herself has come to help humanity. With the starting of this hospice,
She has taken care of AIDS patients, and now She is worried about
the trafficking of women and children." He concluded his speech
by saying that Amma is determined to remove all forms of suffering.
The AIDS Hospice is functioning at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
