This is the moment to awaken the love and
compassion within us. This is the time to pray with
our hearts and work with our hands. Let us lend a
helping hand to those who are grieving and thus light
lamps of kindness and compassion.-- Amma

Darling Children,
Amma is heartbroken over Hurricane Katrina and how it killed hundreds of people and destroyed an entire city and all its wealth. No words can pacify those whose life and livelihood were intricately connected with this city. It looks like humanity is going through an "age of agony."

In December of last year, the tsunami killed hundreds of thousands along the coasts of Southeast Asia. Thereafter, we had a flood in Gujarat. Shortly after that, heavy downpours in Mumbai caused the deaths of thousands and left many more homeless. This was followed by Hurricane Katrina in the US and a stampede in Iraq.

We also had several plane crashes this year. Hundreds died in each of those as well. Amma's heart is in deep pain when she thinks of all the innocent people, particularly the children, who lost their lives in these consecutive incidents. However, Amma's heart sinks even further when she thinks of the survivors. Read the full message

Nature and Prayer

Amma:Let us all pray, "May all the beings being peaceful and happy."

Nature is God made visible. Nature is God known through our senses. When we love and serve Nature, we are worshipping the Supreme Being.

Without Nature no creature, no human being, nothing would exist. Thus it is our responsibility to lovingly care for every living being.

In modern times we have chopped down all the forests on earth and have planted jungles in our minds.

In the past harmony was preserved through right actions. Now this is forgotten and Nature is reacting. Because there are fewer trees there is less rain, and it falls at the wrong time. There is either too much or too little sunshine. All of this has been caused by the selfish actions of human beings.

Prayer

God's ways are incomprehensible and often strange. It is difficult for ordinary human beings to understand the severe and unpredictable laws of Nature. Still, children, those of us who are healthy and who have the resources must rise to the occasion and do whatever we can to help these innocent people. May God's love and compassion flow through us and out to the suffering and grief-stricken. .....

There is no time to waste. Amma still sees dark clouds enveloping the world. Only the cool breeze of sincere and innocent prayers can lift these clouds and turn them into a shower of Divine Grace. Remember, only Divine Grace will help us.

Prayers are held all over the World in Amma's spiritual centers.
