"Please take care of all the sick and the poor"

2 June 2006 —On the first night of Amma's ''Northwest Retreat,'' a seven-year old girl named Amritavarshini from Eugene, Oregon came for Amma's darshan. As the child approached Amma, she gently placed a garland around Amma's neck. The garland was not made of flowers, but of dollars—$200 to be exact, everything the girl had in her savings.

As Amma held her, the child began to cry. She then gave Amma a letter she had written earlier that week with the help of her mother.

Dear Amma,

How can we cure sick people around the world? How can the world see that we are ONE in harmony and stop bombing each other? How do we make slavery and racism go away? It really puts me in deep sorrows. Please give this money to the world that is sick.

Please take care of all the sick and the poor.

Love, Amritavarshini
