Swami Shantamritananda Puri met Amma in 1990, soon after graduating from Amherst College with a degree in Asian Studies. He joined Amma's ashram in 1993, and since then has been engaged in her humanitarian, educational and spiritual activities around the world. He was based in Tokyo for ten years as Director of M.A. Center Japan, primarily active in East Asia, the Pacific Rim and Africa until 2012. Since then, he has been based in MA Center Chicago, conducting regular spiritual and social service programs there, visiting the ashrams in Dallas and Michigan, and gathering with spiritual seekers throughout the central region of the United States.
Currently in Japan
