The Sri Karunamayi Free Hospital provides medical care free of
charge to all who need it. Through the cancer, diabetes, polio,
dental, eye, physical therapy, Ob/Gyn and mobile clinics, over
70,000 people have received free medical care for numerous debilitating
and life-threatening conditions.
Before Amma's hospital existed, expecting mothers had nowhere
to go when they experienced complications during childbirth; parents
had to choose between buying medicines or feeding their children;
and children were forced to grow up horribly disfigured from preventable
diseases like polio. Thanks to Amma's hospital, these tragedies
are no longer the harsh reality.
  
Since 1995, Amma has traveled throughout the world presenting hundreds
of programs that preserve the sacred traditions of India's Vedic
culture. Her discourses shed light on ancient truths that have
the power to bring peace, hope and emotional healing to all people.
Speaking on topics as varied as healthy diet, the benefits of yoga
and meditation, and the value of sacred arts, Amma tends the fire
of wisdom ignited many centuries ago by the holy sages of ancient
India.
In addition, her unique CD recordings and spiritual commentaries
on ancient Sanskrit texts help preserve India's spiritual heritage
undiluted, making this vast body of wisdom accessible to everyone.
Amma's is building homes for 500 familes living in dire poverty
in rural Andhra Pradesh. This project has been inaugurated is
part of Amma's 50th Birthday Jubilee.

The Sri Karunamayi Free School provides education free of charge
to the impoverished children of Penusila. Thanks to Amma's dream
of free education for the poor, many children now have a chance
to learn valuable skills that will help them break the cycle
of poverty.
But it is not just the children whose lives will improve because
of the school. Amma herself visits the school frequently to encourage
the children to go to college and then return to their villages
to serve the people as lawyers, doctors, nurses, or engineers.
Amma has dedicated her life to spreading such universal values
as peace, unity, compassion, respect for all life forms, and family
harmony. Traveling tirelessly for months at a time, year after
year, Amma has spoken with thousands, inspiring countless individuals
around the world to live according to the highest humanitarian
values.
Through her words, her actions, and her entire life, Amma demonstrates
these universal humanitarian values in practical ways that inspire
the heart and liberate the spirit.
