796. Om kama-rupinyai namah: I bow down to Amma who has a desirable form
To our Mother, Guru, Guide, Friend, Leader: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMMA!!!
On the occasion of Amma's 62nd birthday, Amma spoke about bringing out the best in ourselves, to help society:
“The world is going through a phase of intense turmoil. Every day, we hear news of refugees fleeing to other nations to save their own lives. The stories of their suffering will melt anyone’s heart. Amma wishes that all her children will be able to love, forgive and accommodate others. We also see the economies of so many countries crashing. The effects of climate change are threatening all of humanity. It is said that 22,000 children are dying daily due to poverty. We hear about such deaths so regularly that our ears have become desensitized. We may say, ‘So sad,’ but then forget about it. However, mere words of sympathy are not what the world needs. What the world needs are hands that are ready to serve selflessly. Seeing the extent of the pervading darkness, one should not withdraw, thinking, ‘What possible change can my efforts make in this situation?’ If we can light the lamp of faith and love in our hearts and walk forward together, then we definitely can bring about a change in society.”
Om Amriteswariye namah!
