PONDICHERRY, INDIA, January 22, 2003: Mata Amrithanandamayi has said the present trend of mixing religion and politics was not right. Speaking at a reception organized in Pondicherry on Wednesday, she expressed concern over growing violence and terrorism in the country. “All religions should coexist and work towards the development of the society and country. We should remember that human beings are more important than politics or religion. Love is religion and it does not have any caste, creed or community, especially so in these troubled times. We need to give priority to Dharma and values,” she said, calling for the revival of traditional family values in the country.



The Minister of State for Defence, O. Rajagopal, released a book on Mata Amrithanandamayi. The Pondicherry Lt. Governor, N.N. Jha, said Mata Amrithanandamayi’s visit would bring peace and amity between different sections of people. The Education Minister, K. Lakshminarayanan, said she was an example of simplicity and love and was working to eradicate differences between people through the language of love.
