Sri.Karunamayi,aka 'Amma'(mother), was born in the year 1958, in south India.She was born to hard core spiritual parents who often received indications that Sri Karunamayi was an extra ordinary child.

Amma,a child always enjoyed helping her mother by making flower garlands for her daily worship of Lord Shri.Ram.She was also deeply interested in listening to the Sanskrit prayers chanted by her father.She often surprised her father by showing her inborn knowledge of Sanskrit language. 

Later,Amma's parents called learned persons for her Sanskrit educatuon.However,the teachers were stunned at the creative thoughts and sanskrit vocabulary emerged from Amma's mouth, which was not expected from a small child.

She is a shower of motherly love who loves all people, animals, and even plants.She is the Sadguru who gives the spiritual knowledge and guidance to her dissiples.She is greatly involved in social work.

In a spiritual festivals many people were present and Amma came to know that some poor people who attended the ceremony had not eaten for a long time. Amma called for some food,prepared by her grandmother as 'Prasad' for the God and served to the poor people..

The grandmother came to know what she had done but Amma convinced her that the food nicely prepared by her was accepted by the Lord in the form of people." The grandmother was touched by Amma's way of thinking and she offered the food to others who needed it.

Once a family servant suffered from cholera, a deadly contagious disease.But Amma was serving her to get well without thinking of the contageous disease.But all the family members were stunned to know that the servent got recovered without any medication.

Amma was spending  her time in meditations as she was growing in age.Later,she reduced her sleeping hours and spent maximum time in meditations.Forther, as her meditations grew more intense, she reduced her intake of food.

Once Amma got dissolved in to her meditation for a month.The family members were shaken by her powers and never disturbed since thew knew her spiritual capacity and instints.After she came out of her deep meditation,the family members observed a divine glow on her face and she looked a different human.

Amma wanted to fulfill the sacred purpose of her life so she convinced her mother that it was time for her to go into seclusion in the sacred Penusila Forest,to meditate in solitude.Knowing her spiritual abilities and inclination,the mother immediately affirmed to her desire. 

Amma at her small age of 21,sacrificed all the comforts of life and left on foot to the remote and sacred Penusila Forest,where ancient indian sages had meditated for hundreds of years.Amma meditated there deeply for a long time so much so that the nearby villagers misunderstood her as a statue.

Some of the more incusitive ones would toss small pebbles on her, just to varify whether she was alive or dead ! Some assumed her as a divine personality and placed some fruit before her. However Amma.when came out of her meditation. blessed all of them,irrespective of their behavior towards her.

Amma's meditation's purpose was to discover the best teachings for all of mankind.After performing such an intense meditation for ten years, Amma wanted to share her knowledge with all those who thirsted for true spirituality.

Later on,She began giving public discourses on various aspects of Sanatana Dharma, India's ancient spirituality, and conducting sacred ceremonies to promote world peace and universal well-being.Today Amma has followers from all over the world and mainly from India,US and Europe.
