Global Celebration of Amma's Birthday
As part of a global celebration of Amma’s birthday September 27, 2026, Amma Center burrito project will deliver our signature homemade burrito lunches to shelters and groups of unhoused people in Santa Fe. To honor this special day, we will be including gifts of needed and requested items to each of the groups. We deeply hope that we can spread the fragrance of compassion, understanding and peace to the most vulnerable in our community.
Read Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri's statement on the global initiative –
"Dear Brothers and Sisters in Amma,
May this message find each of you well and joyful, held always in Amma's boundless love.
As you know, 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."
