Sri Karunamayi is revered in India as an embodiment of divine motherly love, due to the love and affection that she showers liberally on people, animals, and even plants, the spiritual knowledge and guidance that she gives freely to all of humanity, and the humanitarian works that she has undertaken. "Amma" as she is affectionately called by her devotees, is simply the Telugu word for "mother" Telugu being Amma's native language.
