Litter Cleanup with AYUDH TO: Viswa Seva Dinam

Litter Cleanup with AYUDH TO for Viswa Seva Dinam

Swami Amritaswarupananda wrote to all of Amma's ashrams and satsangs:

"On 27 September, 2026, we will gather at Amritapuri to celebrate Amma's 73rd birthday. Yet Amma's own wish is that this day be remembered not for its festivity alone. What brings her the deepest joy is to see her children reach out to those who are suffering, the poor, the forgotten, the ones waiting for a kind hand. In this spirit, we have named this year's celebration Vishwa Seva Dinam - 'A Day of Selfless Service.' Let us offer Amma the gift she truly treasures, and let our hands become an extension of her compassion in the world."

In this spirit, Amma's Toronto Satsang is organizing four service initiatives during the weekend of September 25-27 to celebrate Amma's birthday in the way she wishes: by serving the world. One of these initiatives is a Litter Cleanup with AYUDH TO. For many years now, Amma has asked that all of us take a vow to clean our surroundings, and has mass cleaning campaigns within India via the Amala Bharatam Campaign. Amma says: "If we clean a sewage canal with the right attitude, even that becomes service to God. In Sanatana Dharma, the Creator and the creation are not two different things. Cleanliness is the most important thing."

AYUDH TO members aim to put this teaching into practice by participating in The Urban Litter Challenge's Cleanup of AE Crookes Park in Mississauga on Sunday, September 27 from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM. All necessary tools and instruction will be provided. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm! Kindly register here for this event. For more information, email to ammatoronto@ammagroups.org. Thank you for making Amma's birthday wish come true!

Om Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
