By the blessings of Amma we can get rid of violence and terrorism: Rajnath Singh 27 Sep 2014, Amritapuri Amritavarsham – Amma’s 61st Birthday celebrations Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh applauded the spiritual guidance and humanitarian initiatives of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi as her charitable trust announced a Rs 25 crore relief and rehabilitation package for victims of the devastating floods in Jammu and Kashmir. 14rajnath-3 Speaking on the occassion he said: “I feel very blessed today to have received an opportunity to meet Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi. To be honest, I am here today only for receiving Darshan from Amma and not to give a speech. “Mata Amritanandamayi Devi is a definitely a spiritual power within whom manifests the Ocean of Love, Compassion and Forgiveness. I personally believe that the solution to all problems of this country, the earth and the entire universe is only possible through Love, Compassion and Forgiveness. These qualities will never arise in a person who is narrow minded and closed in heart but will definitely arise in a person who is broad minded and who has a very open heart. Only such a person will achieve happiness, joy, bliss and even immortality. “Our Mother, ‘Amma’ had imbibed or absorbed the complete essence of Vedanta at a very tender age. The ‘Moola Mantra‘ or the prime essence of Vedanta is, ‘yat pinde tat brahmande‘. Which means “Everything in our body exists in the universe, everything in the small exists in the big, and everything in me is in you”. Amma lives this philosophy. “My prime concern as the Home Minister of India, is about the terrorism, extremism, insurgency problems and the violence that our country is facing. I honestly believe that we can get rid of and get relieved of this violence and terrorism through the grace and blessings of our divine mother Mata Amritanandamayi Devi. read more, see more... ^^__^^__^^__^^__^^ 300 White Canes to the blind youth in Kenya On the occasion of Amma’s 61st birthday, Embracing the World and AYUDH Kenya volunteers handed over the first set of 300 canes to blind youth at Thika school, Kenya. The visually-impaired school has a mixture of students who have varying degree of vision loss, from albino children with photosensitive eyes to completely blind children. Yet, not a single one of them had owned a cane, which can make life much significantly easier for a blind person. Upon receiving the canes, the entire children body did a big “thank you” jig by clapping, clicking and stamping the floor in succession. Two girls came forward, and one of them thanked AYUDH and the good work being done by the White C(r)ane project, while the second girl recited a beautiful prayer. AYUDH promised them to be back with more canes in the near future and to make sure that every child who needs a white cane in the school gets it. see more... ^^__^^__^^__^^__^^ The flow of Love continues unabated… 11-13 Oct, Munich, Germany – Europe Yatra 2014 The Zenith Omega Hall was packed to capacity as Amma entered the hall for the programme in Munich on October 11, 2014. The amazing Bavarian choir group, dressed in the traditional attire, welcomed Amma as she walked to the stage to meet the thousands assembled there. The three day programme had people coming from the neighbouring countries of Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland and the Czech Republic. In the start of one of her talks, Amma said, “From all different parts of the world, rivers, lakes and streams meander their way through various forests, mountains, valleys and plains, ultimately merging into the ocean. Similarly, Amma prays to the Paramatman that all her children – who have assembled here today from diverse corners of the continent – reach the endlessly vast ocean of God-Consciousness.” If there is a word missing in Amma’s dictionary, it is the word ‘rest’. On the first day, though Amma had arrived in Munich after a 16-hour drive, there was not even a sign of fatigue on her face as the darshan kept going into the early hours of the next day. The programme on the remaining days also followed the same tempo. read more, see more... ^^__^^__^^__^^__^^ Amma is with me on the ice 15-17 Oct, Winterthur, Switzerland – Europe Yatra 2014 The next stop on the tour was Eulachhalle in Winterthur from October 15 to 17, 2014, where Amma was accorded a grand welcome on her arrival. She served food to all the devotees present that evening, also enlightening them with her spiritual wisdom. She reminded the devotees, “Never waste away the time in hand. Don’t think that it is easy to contemplate on the Divine in the final moments of one life. Only if we have invested time and energy in such thoughts from a young age, will they come to our mind towards the end of one’s life.” On the second day evening, the introductory talk was given by Olympic Bronze Medalist Anja Stiefel (Swiss Women’s Ice Hockey Team, Sochi 2014). In her talk, referring to Amma as her role model and inspiration, Anja said, “Amma is everywhere where love and happiness is. When I can feel the love on the ice, I move in ways that are totally extraordinary and I can’t even explain. And then I know, Amma is with me on the ice.” She also related how Amma has given her strength to carry on with her efforts despite all the challenges that she has faced. At the end of the talk, she handed Amma the medal that she received, which Amma lovingly kissed and put it around Anja’s neck. In her talk, Amma said, “What the world needs today are warriors who have awakened the power of love, becoming brave and fearless. This doesn’t mean that one must wage a war and defeat someone, capturing their wealth and kingdom. On the contrary, the quality of leadership should bring about transformation, because that is what this world is thirsting for.” read more, see more... ^^__^^__^^__^^__^^ -- Amritavani, the eVoice of Amma, published from Mata Amritanandamayi Math.
