About SRIM

A sacred space for devotion and community service.

From meditation and Vedic teachings to humanitarian outreach, our programs foster inner peace and social harmony for individuals of all backgrounds — under the loving guidance of Amma Sri Karunamayi.

Our center

Two sacred temples on 28 acres of devotion.

The SRIM Center was inaugurated in 2007 under the auspicious guidance of Divine Mother, Amma Sri Karunamayi. Nestled on 28 acres in Forsyth, Georgia, the Center offers a beautiful and highly charged environment for people seeking inner peace and spiritual upliftment.

Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir and Sri Durga Devi Mandir welcome devotees daily for pujas, aarthis, abhishekams, and homas — routinely and on special occasions. Every year, Her Holiness conducts a 5 to 10 day Vedic fire ceremony for world peace.

SRIM Center embraces Sanatana Dharma principles. Sanatana means “eternal” and dharma means “righteousness” or “duty” — a philosophy and way of life that upholds love, compassion, non-violence, respect, and equality. Amma's teachings focus on Love, Serve, Meditate, and Realize.
