Katrina

situation thanks

After

I thought

> finally she started speaking very softly. From her voice that was

choked with

> emotion, I could make out that she was crying. Afterwards Amma told

me she was

> busy with the Tsunami and the recent incidents at the ashram. Hence

she did

> not get time to follow the incidents that occurred here on the news.

She came

> to know of this tragedy only after some amongst the American

devotees had

> briefed her. She said only after talking to me could she understand the

> enormity of this disaster. Immediately Amma asked me to go down

there and help

> the affected people as much as we can. Hence I am going to Hot

Springs to

> assess the situation. I will keep all of you informed. Meanwhile,

according to

> Amma's advice we are starting to collect funds to help the victims

of the

> Katrina Hurricane disaster at the M.A.Center. I will send reports to

you. We

> will need a lot of help in the days to come.

for not
