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.

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.
Satsangs
Events in the satsangs
Following Amma's guidance, all satsangs across the nations

day was observed all over the world by Amma's children.
