Historic moment at Buffalo
25 May Buffalo, NY I was fortunate to be there and want to share my experience with all of you. It was a historic occasion , probably one of a kind .. It was a great moment that a university in US would choose to confer a doctorate not on a scientist or an engineer but a Sage, Spiritual Master… One of the deans said “In honoring Amma, we are also honoring the TRADITION SHE REPRESENTS AND the culture and spirituality that India has to offer”.

She reminded me of the last program day in Pune last March.

I reached early and had the good fortune of sitting fairly close to the stage and reveled in gazing at Amma for over 2…

One of them gave up household responsibilities to other family members to stay in Raichur and handle the accounts and…
