Dear Parvati ~ welcome, welcome to the Ammachi group, and thank you so much

for the above. Of course, now I will really get confused, since I also belong

to both groups. (Just kidding) The fact that you chant before you go to work

with these children is wonderful, and I am sure they benefit. The parents may

be the first guru for the children, but for some children, this is a

horrible and sometimes life-threatening experience. So it is as you said, and

as the

African proverb says: "It takes a village to raise a child." Bless you dear

Parvati, glad to see you here ~ Linda P.S. we also have a Prayer Group here

(Sundays), and I am coordinating, so you can feel free to email me with any

prayer requests.
