Awaken and bring out the love within us: Mata
The Hindu
68th birthday of Mata Amritanandamayi celebrated
Urging her followers to empower themselves, Mata Amritanandamayi, on the occasion of her 68th birthday on Monday, said that the root of all conflict and trouble in the world is the sense of ‘I’.
“We should set this ‘I’ aside and awaken and bring out the love within us. This should start from our homes and then spread to our places of learning and work. It is time for us to build bridges of love and friendship. In this way, may we be able to realise a world-family of unbounded love,” she said in her message.
Her birthday was celebrated as ‘Day of Sadhana’ for world peace and there were no other celebrations in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic and other natural calamities.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
