Vishwa Seva Dinam: A Global Day of Service

Amma’s 73rd Birthday, September 27th

All are welcome to join Amma in Amritapuri September 26 & 27, or to participate in your own way, wherever you are.

Having personally embraced more than 40 million people throughout her life, Amma has directly listened to more of the world’s poor and suffering describe their experience in their own words than anyone else alive today. Each of our projects has been inspired by these conversations.

 

The world should know that a life inspired by love & service to humanity is possible.

May the tree of our lives be rooted in the soil of love, may good deeds be the leaves, kind words be the flowers, and peace be the fruit. May the world flourish as one family, united in love. May we thus be able to create a world in which peace and contentment prevail. This is Amma’s sincere prayer.

Amma
