Embodiment
of Compassion

During Amma’s time in the Penusila Forest, in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, Amma became intimately familiar with the particular problems faced by the local villagers living there, including a lack of access to adequate health care and education. Amma’s humanitarian mission grew out of this direct exposure to the problems faced by these rural villagers in South India.

Since then, Amma, along with the SMVA Trust and innumerable volunteers, have implemented various humanitarian projects: offering food & clothing to the underprivileged, free housing to those in dire need, natural disaster relief, free medical, dental & eye treatment to the impoverished, free education & mentorship programs to stop child labor, free wheelchair distribution to the physically disabled, water treatment projects to alleviate toxic water resources, leprosy care, and a mobile health clinic to reach out to the most remote disadvantaged communities. And with all of these projects, peace, love & compassion for all of humanity is the main message to be gained.

Under the divine guidance of Amma Sri Karunamayi, the Global KLEEM Center for Youth is being established as a permanent hub in North America for Learning, Enrichment, Empowerment, and Meditation.

At its heart is the Sri Saraswati Devi Veda Peetam, a sacred temple housing an exquisitely carved marble statue of Sri Saraswati Devi, the Goddess of Knowledge and Arts. Beneath Her Lotus Feet, Amma’s infused yantra will radiate divine energy for a thousand years, blessing generations to come. The Center will host youth programs, meditation, arts, and holistic courses—empowering young people worldwide to grow into wise, selfless, and inspired leaders of society.
