A Dream"Everyone in the world should be able to sleep without fear, at least for one night.Everyone should be able to eat to his fill, at least for one day. There should be at least oneday when hospitals see no one admitted due to violence. By doing selfless service for atleast one day, everyone should help the poor and needy. It is Amma's prayer that at leastthis small dream be realised."
