Amma means Mother.

Rama’s divinity blossomed under Kausalya’s loving care;

Lava and Kusha could become powerful and famous

Due to their noble and virtuous mother Sita;

The love and care of Jijabai made Shivaji a great warrior;

Fostered with the love of

his mother Putlibai, Gandhi became a Mahatma.

Is there anyone in this world who can

Take care of you the way your mother does?

Amma (mother) is the first word that man picks up in life.

The first letter of the word ‘Amma’ also happens to be

The first letter of the alphabet.

(Telugu Poem)
