VOLUNTARY SERVICE (SEVA) amrita yoga

All the work done at Amritapuri is done by volunteers. If you are interested in participating, we can help you to find a meaningful way to contribute
based on how long you plan to stay, your physical condition, and the current needs of the ashram. Amma teaches that by performing selfless actions and service to others we purify ourselves from selfishness and open our hearts to love everyone unconditionally.
