Amma Toronto's Activites for Viswa Seva Dinam
September 19, 2026 — Toronto, Canada
Four service initiatives in honour of Amma's 73rd birthday
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:
- Sep 25-26: Preparing and Serving Chilli at a local food bank
- Sep 26: Farm Harvest Day - Help harvest fruit and vegetables at Amma Canada Farms and deliver the produce to food banks across the GTA
- Sep 26-Oct 4: Food Drive - Bring in non-perishable food items to the Amma Canada Centre
- Sep 27: Litter Cleanup with AYUDH TO at The Urban Litter Challenge's Cleanup of AE Crookes Park in Mississauga
You are most welcome to join any or all of these events. For more information, email to ammatoronto@ammagroups.org. Thank you for making Amma's birthday wish come true!
