Siva Sakthi Ammaiyar (also known as Siva Sakthi) is a short elderly woman living in her ashram in Tiruvannamalai.
She kept silent for many years and attained the Self about 18 years ago. She is attended by her devoted son.
In her younger years as a house-holder, Sri Siva Sakthi Ammaiyar was an ardent devotee of Lord "Siva". She would spend day and night in worship and devotion, leading her to ignore the mundane things in life. Being disillusioned and always frustrated, her longing to merge with the Divine ever increased. She loved to be left alone, and in deep states of meditation the SELF was revealed. She went to Perumal Hill, a (holy) hill in the Salem district in Tamil Nadu, in south India, where she spent some years in silence. In 2003 she came to Tiruvannamalai, where an ashram was set up. Since her arrival, Ammaiyar, the respectful name for mother, gives daily darshan to people in pure silence.

This being summer (in India), Ammaiyar is again taking personal time for herself; so there will be times when there will be no Darshan. If you are thinking of coming during the summer months, it would be best if you call or email before coming to know the current situation.

"MOTHER OF THE WORLD"
SRI SIVA SAKTHI AMMAIYAR
Message to the World
The rotation of the earth is slightly faster. This is the reason for the changing climatic conditions.
THIS ACCELERATION OF THE ROTATION IS DUE TO PEOPLE'S KARMA.
As more calamities occur throughout the world, there will be more loss of lives.
People living on river banks and near volcanoes, should be more careful.
People living in the Himalayas need to be more careful.
Animals and poisonous insects will come out.
In the year 2012 the earth's rotation will increase again and then gradually return to its normal speed.
Through God's Grace and Blessings, the areas which will be most affected by this powerful change in rotation will be deserts, forests and rivers.
From the year 2022 the world will prosper and people will feel good and will be blessed with wealth and prosperity.
EVERYONE SHOULD HOLD ON TO THE FEET OF GOD AND BE PATIENT AND AT PEACE.
(This message is a continuation of the October 4th message below.)

* Message from WORLD MOTHER SRI SIVA SAKTHI AMMAIYAR
to the People of the World
Throughout the world there will be more natural calamities through water: floods, tsunami's (tidal waves), severe rain storms, etc, and air: cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes, severe high winds, etc. There will be earthquakes and tidal waves throughout the world. People living on Islands, especially in the coastal areas, will need to be more cautious and careful. Those who are traveling by air need to be more careful. The destruction will be more abroad, than in India. Those who are in business will need to be more alert and careful.
For India: More and heavy rains and winds will come and bring more damage.
For Pondicherry: Those people living on the coastline need to be very careful.
(Two months prior, Amma had mentioned the upcoming danger involving water. This morning she elaborated on it when speaking at Darshan.)

On October 9, 2008, Vijaya Dashami day, Siva Sakthi Ammaiyar broke her silence. After many years in silence (5 since she came to Tiruvannamalai, 6 1/2 all together for this stretch), she will now, occasionally, speak, give Spiritual discourse, through an interpreter. When, is not known. We shall see how this unfolds.
On January 30, 2009, Amma started giving "Private Darshan". A few people on a designated day, can sit privately with her (one at a time) in a cordoned off and screened area of the Ashram hall. Whether she speaks or not is up to her. If she does, her son interprets what she said. To make advance booking, you have to speak with her son, Velan.
In May of 2009, after Amma's first break of the year (time off for herself-no Darshan), she came back having cut off her 12' long Sadhu jata, (her long hair-dreds). Her son said she had grown this hair for at least 18 years.
it is now September. Amma is again giving Darshan twice daily. We cannot say that Amma won't take another break, but for now, she is giving Darshan twice daily, as usual.
Amma's website, Sri Siva Sakthi Ammaiyar, has been updated.
