Sri Lankan Government Invites Amma to Bring Peace to the Island

 

Sri. K.N. Douglas Devananda—the Honourable Minister of Agricultural

Marketing Development, Co-operative Development, Hindu Affairs and

Minister Assisting Education and Vocational Training—invited Her

Holiness Sri Mata Amritanandamayi to Sri Lanka "to bless Sri Lankans

of all faiths and races and to bring peace and prosperity in their

lives."

 

In his letter, he requested Amma to come for four days, specifically

to visit the areas of Batticaloa, Ampara, Trincomalee, Jaffna,

Hambanthota, Galle and Matara.

 

"We are deeply touched by the great spiritual and humanitarian work

undertaken by Your Holiness and by your Ashram to the poor and needy

people in many parts of the world," he wrote.

 

"Your gesture to dedicate one billion Indian rupees for the welfare

of tsunami victims will surely inspire many other organisations to do

likewise."

 

In response, Amma has already sent Swami Ramakrishnananda,

Brahmachari Vinayamrita Chaitanya and three other brahmacharis from

the Ashram.

 

The Honourable Minister appealed to Amma, stating how several

thousand Sri Lankans died in the tsunami and several thousand others

have been rendered homeless. "The devastation is unparalleled in our

known history. The victims need spiritual healing, solace, succour

and blessing."
