Feelings from receiving the Oneness Experience vary, sometimes strong, sometimes subtle, sometimes delayed until even days later. The recipient may experience a tingling sensation in the head, or blissful energy flowing through the body, or sometimes nothing at all.
Whatever the experience, the recipient can trust that the process of one’s own awakening has begun, a process designed by Divine Grace for one’s own nature that will lead gradually (or sometimes spontaneously) into the state of Oneness.
Many people all over the world are beginning to live in these profound states once thought of as the privileged domain of but a few saints and sages, and then only achievable after eons of discipline and practice. Now, in Divine Compassion, Oneness Experience is being given as a gift to all the people through Grace.
Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan are the global visionaries behind the Oneness phenomenon whose lives have been dedicated to accelerating the release of human suffering and help people live better lives. To know Sri AmmaBhagavan, as they are known to the millions who have benefited from their work, is to know the limitless potential of human existence when the heart is aligned with the intent in the loftiest aspirations for our world.
Sri Amma was born on August 15, 1954, in Sangam Village, Nellore District, in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Her parents, Smt. Penchalamma and Sri Venkaiah, knew from very early in her life that theirs was an unusual child, attuned to the needs of others, and clear in her acceptance of service as the ultimate joy. As she grew up, the young Amma was often found listening to the stories of families in crisis, assisting those families with material and spiritual help, and cultivating a relationship with the Divine born of a desire to be a vehicle so that others would receive the benefits of grace.
Sri Bhagavan was born on March 7, 1949, in Natham Village, Tamil Nadu, to Smt. Vaidarbhi Amma and Sri Varadarajulu, parents who fostered their son’s awareness of the role of divine grace in our lives. Already as a young teenager, Sri Bhagavan knew that the solution to the problems of our world must rest in the alleviation of the deep suffering that caused neighbor to hate neighbor, families to break up, and countries to threaten each others with war and extinction. His vision allowed him to inquire into the causes behind human conflict with his probing intellect and his wise, knowing heart.
With Sri Amma as his partner, they founded the Jeevashram school in 1984. This institution, devoted to educating and loving students in a holistic manner, became the cradle of the Oneness phenomenon. As the Deeksha started pouring through the young students, Sri AmmaBhagavan saw that this energy was given for the benefit of all humanity, not to liberate a chosen few, but to share the grace of Oneness Deeksha with anyone and everyone looking for transformation, healing, and a purposeful, joyous life. From the Jeevashram school and later the University, Sri AmmaBhagavan created a body of teachings suited for the new earth in this new millennium.
