27 Sep 2012, Amritapuri – Amma’s 59th Birthday celebrations
Retired Supreme Court Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer inaugurated the Amrita Vocational Training Centre. Upon doing so, he said, “This [Amritapuri] is a sacred land. It’s not enough to give food and clothing. Everyone also wants justice. Amma is working for that justice. Amma is a symbol of universal brotherhood and is God in human form. This human ocean of compassion represents this immortal power.” He also said that, wherever there is sorrow, Amma is there to wipe away the tears.” This inauguration was part of the number of charitable activities launched during the 59th birthday celebrations of Amma.
