| At the heart of the Vedic revelation is the relationship between the priests who serve society through religious rituals, and the enlightened spiritual teachers who embody the Vedic revelation. In the photograph above, an extremely large gathering of priests and scholars sit with Amma in front of the Nashville Hindu Temple, before the performance of an enormous week-long ritual for world peace and environmental balance. Even here, in the West, the depth of the Vedic revelation is being nurtured through the enlightened presence of Amma Sri Karunamayi. |

| Priests in Hyderabad and Vishakhapattnam are pictured above with Amma. Wherever she travels, she meets with Vedic priests, counsels them, inspires them, and takes their wellbeing to heart. |

|
| At the heart of the Vedic revelation is Agni, primordial Deity of Sacred Fire. Here priests ignite the sacred flame by hand, intoning prayers and invocations. The Sacred Fire represents the fire of transformation, the spirit, the solar fire, the fire that cooks, and the fire that digests. Indeed, Agni is everywhere, state the Vedas. |
|
|
| The Sacred Flame is offered to Amma by exultant priests. To the left is the cauldron itself, where the power of transformation sits, as Agni, Lord of the Sacrifice. |
|
|
| Agni is also the fire of the Sun, which is transformed into flowers of beauty. These flowers, grown in sacred gardens, are then offered back as adornments to the forms of Gods and Goddesses. The power, beauty and mystery of the Vedic Revelation is carefully nurtured by Amma Sri Karuanamayi's numerous educational and cultural programs. |
