  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
honor Amma Sri Karunamayi, a Hindu spiritual leader who has devoted her 
life to serving humanity.
  Amma has devoted her life to the service of others, through her 
charitable works in India feeding the poor; building free schools, 
housing, an orphanage and a hospital; and through her efforts to teach 
meditation and peaceful living. Since 1995, Amma has been making trips 
to the United States to lead public meditation programs and share 
discourses on peace, tolerance and religious harmony.
  This weekend she will travel to the Balaji Temple in Aurora, 
Illinois, to share her message of peace, tolerance and harmony.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Amma Sri 
Karunamayi, whose commitment to helping others has served as 
inspiration around the world.
