love is the power of Amma

[Guest guest]

Shri. Sashi Tarur shared his insights about what in fact draws people to Amma

from all over the world and from all walks of life. " Not just here but in a

thousand places across the world the name of Amma is honoured and respected. Not

because of any ideology, not because of any religious faith, not because of any

cult but quite simply because of the power of love. We sit before her to gain

from her the strength that comes from purity and simplicity of her smile and

her hug. Through that, we find within ourselves the strength to rise above all

the limitations of our daily lives to something higher than ourselves, something

purer than the rest of the world offers. That is where her power lies and it is

greater than the power of a hundred kings, of a hundred prime ministers, of a

hundred presidents. The simple power of love is the power of Amma and like all

of you, I too bow tonight before her strength, her simplicity, and her love. "
