ETW Amma Blessed Art Auction

**Experience the transformative power of devotional art blessed by Amma while supporting Amma's mission of Love and service.**

Welcome to the inaugural Embracing the World (ETW) Amma Blessed Art Auction—a sacred gathering of creativity, compassion, and divine grace. In a world increasingly defined by social distance and artificial intelligence, humanity risks losing touch with our hearts, our humanity, and the profound connection we share with each other and the arts. The Embracing the World (ETW) Amma Blessed Art Auction serves as a beacon, nurturing the essence of our hearts, the art within us all, and the divine essence inherent in art.

Unlike conventional worldly auctions, where strategic bidding is often reserved until the last moment, here, every bid is an act of pure-hearted generosity and an expression of our gratitude for Amma. In this Amma Blessed Art Auction, early bidders hold the key to profound impact. By participating from the outset, you encourage others to bid, resulting in more funds generated for ETW. Don't hesitate to bid now on an art piece you are interested in, remembering that the worst-case scenario is "you lose," but even if you get outbid, more people are helped through Amma's charities. So in the end, Love wins and we all become the true winners, championing Amma's charities and inspiring a wave of generosity that fuels Amma's charitable network, Embracing the World. It's a win-win situation that reverberates from Amritapuri all over the world as Matarani Ki Jai! Victory to the Divine Mother! Let Love Win!!!

So far, over 90 talented artists from 18 diverse countries, have come together to unite their time, talent and creative energies in support of Amma's mission of love and service.

Even world renowned actress turned artist Sharon Stone joined this ETW Art Auction Fundraiser fusing creativity, compassion and philanthropy. Also known for her humanitarian work, Sharon's compassion and large heartedness shines through donated two huge mesmerizings paintings which she donated to support Amma's mission of love and service. When Amma's saw the paintings, she said, "May the light of her Love being expressed in these paintings, engulf everyone.

Each painting in this auction has been personally blessed by Amma, imbuing it with divine healing energy. After viewing and blessing each artwork shown in the Amritapuri exhibits, Amma spoke at length about the profound nature of art, emphasizing that it originates from the divine and serves as a channel for the divine to manifest through us. With Amma's blessings, these paintings become not only works of art from the heart but also sacred vessels, carrying the essence of divine love and grace to all who get to see them.
