Every colour has its own significance, but the real beauty lies when it unifies like a rainbow. Love is the centre of every relationship. The real beauty has its own sheen when love and unity combines, said Mata Amritanandamayi Devi at A.S. Raja College Grounds here on Wednesday.

The venue was filled to the brim with more than 20,000 devotees to get a glimpse of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi. As part of the all-India tour organised by Mata Amritanandamayi Math every year to spread the message of love and compassion among the followers, Amma (as dearly called by her devotees) has reached the City of Destiny.

Referring to the recent atrocities against women, Amma at the ‘Satsang’ said: “Lust, greed and ego are clouding people like cancer and ultimately leading them to commit unthinkable sins. The horrid incidents that happened in the recent past are the clear indication of degradation of value system in our society.”

She said that lust, alcohol, and drug abuse apart from greed for money are the three forms of insanity that lurk among people these days. Lack of love and compassion are the reason behind barbarous acts happened. Today’s need of the hour is love. Unity and equality bring beauty and harmony to one’s life. “Let us not expect something which we cannot offer. In a way, we are distancing ourselves from love. The real happiness lies in sharing unconditional love and compassion. Everything will fall in place if we join together to nurture our spirit with these two divine qualities,” she urged.

Amma embraced and blessed each and every devotee with her warm hug.
