In the name of Mata,

In the name of Mata, on Your 50th Jubilee Celebration.... On behalf of all those who have gathered here.... In the name of the lakhs of people here, embodiment of universal brotherhood and love.... Amma, Mata Amritanandamayi.... I offer my hearty good wishes on behalf of all those gathered here. "Respected religious leaders and my dear friends, it is my pleasure to participate in this Interfaith Conference, which has proposed a significant theme under the caption 'Religions Embracing for Peace & Harmony.' I am all the more delighted that this conference is organised in the context of the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Mata Amritanandamayi, acclaimed personification of Universal Motherhood and love, which is based on the great virtues of compassion, patience and forgiveness. "As you all know, my presence here bears with it a representative character, placing on me the obligation of presenting the Christian perspective in the discussion of the theme. I'm aware the representatives of some other world religions are also present here to enrich us with their contributions. I'm asked to explain how religion would, in the Christian perspective, promote peace and harmony in the human society—negatively said: 'Why religion is not a hindrance to achieve a peaceful and harmonious life in the human society.' His Grace's Amritavarsham50 Interfaith Summit speech: "In the light of Christian religious principles, religion as a means, not a hindrance, to social, political peace and mutual tolerance." "Thank you."
