Dayamrita Chaitanya

UPTON, NY - Dayamrita Chaitanya, a disciple of Mata Amritanandamayi, or Amma, will give a talk at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory on "Compassion and Selfless Service: Pathway to Peace," on Thursday, May 8, from 4 - 5:15 p.m. in Berkner Hall. Sponsored by the Indo American Association Yoga Club, the talk is free and open to the public. Visitors to the Laboratory age 16 and older must bring a photo ID.

Amma is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost humanitarian leaders. Since she was a child in India, Amma has been dedicated to alleviating suffering through personal outreach. Currently, she helps those in need through a network of charitable organizations.

Amma's unique meditation technique, called integrated amrita meditation, consists of a set of yoga exercises followed by meditation. The technique is a powerful tool for experiencing relaxation, concentration, and greater awareness, which is a pathway to peace and joy. Amma believes that "real meditation" is achieved when a person becomes selfless.

As manager of Amma's activities in the U.S., Canada and Latin America for the past fourteen years, Dayamrita is one of Amma's senior disciples, focusing on spreading her teachings of love and compassion.
