Dear Amma's Children,
Jai Karunamayi!
Jai Sairam!
On September 25, with the grace and blessing of Amma, we had our monthly Narayana Seva at My Sister's House on Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, a shelter serving women and children, and the restoration house.
We prepared meals to serve about 350 women and children who live in these two shelters. The dinner consisted of vegetarian chili, delicious vegetarian pasta, macaroni and cheese for the kids, healthy green salad, dinner rolls, candies, and bananas.
Several of Amma's devotees make this dinner service possible. Alexander Balick, Phani Tummala, and Sridaran made monetary contributions towards the dinner service and many others have been making recurring monthly contributions to enable us to do this important community service. Carol made everyone's favorite Mac&Cheese and delivered it to the shelter; Sundray (with some supplies provided partly by Devi) and Jainee (with delivery help by her daughter Shailee) made the amazing veggie pasta; Vasanthi and Kishore made the veggie 3-bean chili; Shanmugam provided the candies for the children (and adults!!); a devotee provided the bananas; Kishore bought the other supplies, and collected the food and brought them to the shelter.
It was in-person service this month as this will be the norm going forward. Shanmugam, another devotee, and I (assisted by an additional volunteer) were on hand at the shelter to serve the hot dinner to the residents and the children. The stormy weather increased the attendance at the dinner, so it was a full house of residents and children. The hot meal of mac&cheese, the delicious pasta, and healthy 3-bean chili was perfect for the stormy weather outside. Plus the fancy healthy veggie salad with nuts, raisins, and lots of greens was a super hit with the residents. The residents thoroughly enjoyed the dinner as always. We served them seconds and thirds until we ran out of food!!
Enjoy the pictures!
