For Vishwa Seva Dinam — A Day of Selfless Service in honour of Amma's 73rd birthday— Amma's Toronto Satsang prepared and served vegetarian chilli to the clients of Georgetown Bread Basket (GBB).
Let us offer Amma the gift she truly treasures, and let our hands become an extension of her compassion in the world.
— Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri
Toronto Satsang volunteers gathered at the Amma Canada kitchen on the evening of Friday, September 25. They eagerly helped the lead cook, Thankam, chop veggies and to prepare seven pots of delicious vegetarian chilli to serve guests at the Georgetown Bread Basket. The delicious mix of combined canned beans, tomatoes, fresh squash and herbs from Amma Canada Farms simmered all night in crock pots. On Saturday. September 26, the crock pots were transported to the GBB, where our AYUDH TO volunteers, Athira and Sambhu, helped serve over 70 portions of chilli in takeout containers to the many families and seniors shopping for food. The much anticipated chilli is always well received - both GBB staff and guests thanked us for serving Amma’s delicious vegetarian chilli!
