Sudhamani, as Amma was originally named, was born in a poor fishing village in Kerala in 1953. Even as a child, she was known to reach out and comfort people around her. She would regularly get into trouble because she shared her family's meagre belongings and food with the poor.

Amma says: When love overflows and is expressed through every word and deed, we call it compassion. That is the goal of religion.
