Mothers Are Failing in Their Duty, says Amritanandamayi

 

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, INDIA, November 30, 2002: The future of the human race

depends almost solely on women, and if she is not fully aware of her

stupendous responsibility, humanity will suffer, said Mata Amritanandamayi

on her return from the Global Peace Initiative of Women at the UN in Geneva

where she received the covetous Gandhi-King Award for her massive

humanitarian works. According to Mata, today's mothers are not playing their

crucial role in molding the character of their children, especially

daughters. The motherly instinct of the woman is the most fundamental and

natural. All other roles are subservient to that. But today's mothers seem

to fall in the trap of the glitz and glamour of the show world, she said.
