Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Reception accorded to Mata Amritanandamayi Friday February 13 2004 13:19 IST KANNUR: Mata Amritanandamayi who is on a visit to the northern region of the State was accorded a grand reception at the Jawahar Stadium here on Thursday. Addressing the huge gathering at the Stadium here this evening, Amritanandamayi said the essence of human life is love and love is the binding force that retains peace in the world. Mata exhorted her devotees to get themselves involved in the war for love for which no blood has to be shed. In order to attain peace of mind we must be prepared to fight the war, she said. Mata said the nature would punish those who try to exploit and attack it. Earlier, a procession was organised to mark Mata’s visit. Hundreds of students and devotees participated in the procession, which began from the St Michael’s Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School premises. An exhibition, ‘Amrita Darshan’, and a medical pavilion have also been set up in connection with the visit. A souvenir brought out on the occasion was released by BJP leader C.K. Padmanabhan by handing over the first issue to municipal chairperson M.C. Sreeja. >From www.newindpress.com Also on the Kerala page of newindpress.com was a headline that caught my eye: "Film Chamber meet blasts AMMA". I had to click on it to find out why they would want to blast her. Turns out that the "AMMA" referred to here is the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists!! I love those Indian acronyms. There's even an anti-prostitution law on the books called SITA (Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act)!!
