The Essence Of Motherhood Is Not Restricted To Women Who Have Given Birth; It Is A Principle Inherent In Both Women And Men. It Is An Attitude Of The Mind. It Is Love, And That Love Is The Very Breath Of Life. No One Would Say, I Will Breathe Only When I Am With My Family And Friends; I Won’t Breathe In Front Of My Enemies. Similarly, For Those In Whom Motherhood Has Awakened, Love And Compassion Towards Everyone Is As Much Part Of Their Being As Breathing.

Whenever She is asked about Her religion, She replies that Her religion is love.

An Address At The Inaugural Program Of The 150th Birth Anniversary Of Swami Vivekananda, Who Was Renowned For Bringing Indian Spirituality To The West And Inspiring Religious Reform And Spiritual Resurgence In His Motherland. In Her Speech, Amma Made It Clear From The Start That India Was Falling Far Short Of Living Up To Vivekananda’s Vision For His Country. Amma Said, We May Have Learned To Fly Like Birds And Swim Like Fish, But We Have Forgotten How To Live Like Human Beings. It Seems We Have To Relearn That Skill.

The Voice Of Knowledge, Of Self-Realization, And The Ancient Words Of Our Rishis Should Once Again Rise Up And Resound Throughout The World. May This Land That Taught The True Meaning Of Acceptance To The World Remain Firmly Established In That Virtue. May The Conch Of Sanatana Dharma Trumpet A New Resurgence That Echoes Around The World.
