India has exhibited commendable resilience where the medical fraternity, essential services sector and its people are throwing their might behind the government in tackling the scourge on a war-footing, cutting across region, political affiliations, social standing, and religion. India has risen as one voice, as one people.
“Seeing the entire world hurting and crying in pain, my heart is aching deeply. Let us all pray for the souls who have succumbed to this pandemic, for the mental peace of their families and friends, for the peace of the world, and for God’s grace,” Amma said. For decades, Amma has been insisting on mankind changing its lifestyle to be more harmonious with Nature, warning that failing to do so would result in increased natural disasters and diseases. “The selfish things man has done to Nature are now coming back in the form of such epidemics,” Amma said.
