Staying at MA Center Chicago

"When the deep, spiritual yearning of the disciple basks in the effulgence of the Guru’s grace, an ashram is born. There one grows in peace and harmony.” ~Amma

MA Center Chicago, located on a beautiful 142-acre campus, was formed in July of 2012. MA Center Chicago is one of a handful of Amma's ashrams around the word where you can participate in daily spiritual practices, weekly satsang, and many other programs. The Center offers personal retreats to those who wish to deepen their practice. Here is your chance to stay in a spiritually vibrant community that embraces a healthy lifestyle and sustainable living while embracing the spiritual principles and teachings of Amma. Ashram residents benefit from the many spiritual activities at MA Center Chicago, including daily archana, bhajans, spiritual discourses, Bhagavad Gita classes, silent meditation retreats, pujas and homas, guided meditation, yoga, and our youth programs (ABK/Amrita Bala Kendra and AYUDH), as well as volunteering/selfless service opportunities. 

Daily group spiritual practices/sadhana activities are as follows:

6:00 pm: Amma's White Flower Meditation
6:30 pm: Daily bhajans, followed by closing prayers, arati, and prasad
