Walk in Beauty

23 June 2008 - Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

Upon the commencement of Amma's five days of programmes in New Mexico, State Representative Gayle Chasey officially welcomed Amma to the state, placing a garland around her neck and reciting a traditional Navaho prayer.

"Unexpected blessings sometimes come the way of those in public service," said the representative. "And my invitation to welcome Amma back to New Mexico tonight falls in that category. As one who believes in the dignity of all human beings-the most vulnerable, those who have no other voice, the hungry, the homeless, those in prison, those who are sick and lack healthcare-I am deeply honoured to be in your presence this evening."

"I am moved by Amma's good works-her service, her teachings, her emphasis on every aspect of well-being: material, emotional, spiritual."

"I would like to borrow from our Navaho brothers and sisters here in the great Southwest to make a wish for Amma and all of us. At the heart of the Navaho way is the concept of harmony-the need to be in the right relationship with all things. This concept is often translated as 'beauty'. The Navaho Night Way Ceremony begins with the words 'In beauty, may I walk.' Amma, may you walk in beauty here in the Land of Enchantment, and may you help us do the same."

Amma is in Albuquerque from June 22th through 26st.
