The new decade was ushered in at Amritapuri with a beautiful tableau of dances and musical performances representing the cultural traditions of Amma’s children of all ages from across India and many parts of the world, to the delight of the thousands assembled to celebrate and reflect with Amma.
When the performances came to a close, Amma offered her New Year’s Message, excerpts of which follow. Listening, one had the feeling that Amma was offering a message that could and should be contemplated not just on that one night, but for every day of the year to come, as a guiding light to help one walk the right path and bring about peace within and to the whole world.
