Amma lived in Chivatam village in West Godavari district for about five decades. Amma used to ask people to pray by repeating 'Rama Rama'. She used to say there should be more craving for God than the craving for few rupees.
Until Pujya Master recognized her spiritual state no one really recognized her. Pujya Master said she is an elite avadhutha who belongs to Datta sampradaya, purna gnani, and yet another manifestation of God in the human body. He said Amma is the only Avadhutha, the lady in Digambar sampradaya in these modern days.
