In honor of Vishwa Seva Dinam, MA Center DC came together to celebrate Amma’s birthday by volunteering at DC Central Kitchen to prepare meals for those in need, and coming together with Potomac Conservancy to help care for the waterways that flow into the Potomac River through a community stream cleanup.

Through these acts of seva, we honor Amma’s lifelong example of selfless service—a life dedicated to love, compassion, and serving others. Her example reminds us that love becomes most meaningful when it is expressed through kindness and selfless action.

May we continue to carry Amma’s vision of love in action and service to all. ❤️
