Guest guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Dear Avram and Others, I checked with my friend who is one of the people working on Amma's website here at the ashram. What goes on the web is entirely based on AMMA'S APPROVAL and as per what AMMA HERSELF says . Therefore Avram, i think it is unfair for you to say that perhaps some 'males' would have removed the speech themselves etc . I have many sincere friends working day and night on Amma's website- both men and women who spend hours and hours every night after work and I know for a fact that EVERY thing they put on website is after asking Amma. Amma has Her reasons for what She wants on the web because Amma wants to pressent everything there in a wholly uplifting way- maybe thats why the speech is not there now- it may be there later as part of a bigger section on the geneva meeting. So lets not fling accusations before ascertaining the facts, Namah Shivaya bala --- Aikya Param <aikya wrote: > Dear Ones > > Blessedly I received a full text of Amma's speech > before it began > vanishing.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 I am sure that Amma's speech caused an immediate firestorm of protest. Amma and the organization must gain cooperation of many powerful people in order to do the charitable work. Perhaps it is a matter of continuing the housing program, the work via the hospitals and schools, rather than concerns about uplifting versus ?, that has inspired greater reticence regarding the speech.
