The AMRITANANDAMAYI people are doing a great job, he said answering a question I wanted to ask, but didn t, since I reached Nagapattinam...Rows of temporary accommodation under construction. Work was going on a frenzied pitch...We are planning 1000 houses but Government has still not allotted the land. Dear C. R. ~ thank you so very much for sharing this story, especially more about what Mother and her devotees are doing. The picture of HOPE you painted with words of the girl pouring water over her head was awesome. I don't understand why the government has not allotted the land. Can you shed some insight on this? Even when I first heard that Amma had pledged to rebuild houses, it was stated, if the government gives permission. In a time of so much devastation, I am having a difficult time why the government would not welcome all such help with open arms. And how fortunate for you to have the health and the time and the will to be there to help. Bless you. In Amma's Love ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
