After her New York program, Amma arrived in Chicago for the final event of this year’s US Tour. The three-day program was held at MA Center Chicago, where the elation and joy of devotees, seeing Amma in their city after a five-year hiatus, were clearly visible on their faces.

Jeffrey Walter, the Mayor of the Village of Elburn, Illinois, garlanded Amma and read out a proclamation declaring August 10th, 2024, as "Amma Day" in the Village of Elburn. The proclamation honored Amma’s extraordinary contributions to humanity and her unwavering commitment to fostering peace and unity.

A key event was the launch of the Amrita Institute of Advanced Research (AIAR). In another expression of boundless compassion, it is Amma's first research institute in the United States.

Dr Bharat Jayaraman and Dr Venu Govindaraju, both with the University at Buffalo, State University of New York (SUNY), felicitated the event. In 2010, Amma received her first honorary degree from SUNY.

They expressed gratitude to Amma for her commitment to #humanitarian-based #research that uplifts all socio-economic levels of our world.

Shashank Priya, Vice President for Research and Innovation at the University of Minnesota, also garlanded Amma and announced the formalization of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and the University of Minnesota. The MoU document was exchanged in Amma’s presence.

Throughout the three days, Amma delivered satsangs, sang bhajans, and conducted guided meditation and prayers for world peace. She gave darshan to thousands, blessing them with her divine, solace-giving embrace.

Among the VIPs who received Amma's blessings was Raja Krishnamoorthi, U.S. Representative for Illinois's 8th Congressional District.

The three-day program marked the end of the US leg of Amma’s 2024 tour. Amma is now proceeding to Japan for a program in Tokyo, after which she will return to Amritapuri.
