Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Did Amma go to Kenya last year or did I make that up? If she went to Kenya, how come there are no photos anywhere? Of course, maybe she didn't go to Kenya in the first place. I'm writing to African Americans and I find that there are a gazillion pictures of Amma hugging white people but no pictures that I can easily find with an African person or a person of African ancestry. I know we white people need a lot of fixing up. Don't get me wrong there but...did she go to Kenya, or did I make that up? Aikya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was apparently a one-time visit. There must be some tradition of the Gandhi-King award winner receiving it from the previous year's winner, as Amma had her award presented by the 2001 winner, Jane Goodall. BTW, at the Michigan programs I don't see a lot of black people going for darshan, notwithstanding that the city of Detroit is well over 50% African-American.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Thanks for the reference, Keval. It was the Gandhi King Award Ceremony that brought Amma to Kenya.. You're right. The new winner gets the award from the previous winner. Maybe some day Amma will go more often.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Namah Shivaya. There¹s a nice picture of Amma hugging Smokey and (I think) her grandson in the Embracing the World book from Amma¹s birthday. p. > > Did Amma go to Kenya last year or did I make that up?
