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. One of our goals is to spread Amma's teaching of love, compassion and service aligned with the eternal values of Sanatana Dharma while nurturing the connection to the Divine in our hearts through sharing art and the divine essence inherent in art.

Over 108 talented artists from over 18 diverse countries, including renowned actress & artist Sharon Stone, have come together to unite their time, talent and creative energies in support of Amma's mission of love and service.

Amma, (which means Mother), also known as "the Hugging Saint", has dedicated every breath of her life to sharing and teaching love, peace, and compassion. Amma, (Mata Amritanandamayi Devi) has traveled the world for more than 35 years, embracing, transforming and inspiring more than 40 million people to live a life of love, compassion and service. Amma's outreach extends to a global volunteer-based humanitarian movement called Embracing the World which helpsalleviate the burden of the poor and suffering.

In our ETW Auctions, every bid is a prayer for others in need to be taken care of, a gesture of your love and gratitude to Amma for taking care of them, and an action step towards helping her taking care of them. Let's let Love win! 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's work to uplift the poor and needy.

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.

We invite you to explore our Divine Masterpieces Collection—a curated selection of high-ticket items chosen for their exceptional craftsmanship and spiritual resonance.

Elevate your space and your spirit with these remarkable treasures, knowing that your investment not only enriches your life but also supports Amma's noble mission of love and service.
