Mata Amritanandamayi has exhorted retired persons to associate themselves with a project at panchayat-level to reduce the suicide rate in Kerala. Speaking at a function organised by Rotary International District 3200 here today to honour the Mata with an award for service to humanity, she expressed concern over the poor living conditions of tribals in Wayanad and Attappady. She suggested that Rotary International and other organisations launch humanitarian services to the affected. Service organisations should try to extend help to women in distress, which could effectively reduce the number of sex workers. Focussing on the need to take care of the nature, the Mata said, "when man loves nature, nature loves man". __________________ Dear Sara ~ thank you so much for sharing this. It is very true, though I snipped this quote out ~ compassion without action is nothing. Amma is the greatest example of compassion in action that I have ever known. Also, having worked with the Rotary throughout America in one of my jobs, I know how much they can get done once they take on a project. So good for them in recognizing Amma and good for Amma in recognizing what they can accomplish. Jai Ma ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
