Amma

The Peace Connection Committee presented Amma with a series of sacred objects, culminating with Dr. Hahs reverently placing a wool blanket around Amma's shoulders - a Native American tradition reserved for guests of the highest honor. "I bring greetings and blessings from Northeastern Illinois University," Dr. Hahs said.

Among the sacred objects presented to Amma were World Peace Candles lit from eternal flames, water drawn from a confluence of sacred rivers and lakes, a replica of a Peace Pole housed on the Northeastern's campus, coals used in a Native American fire ceremony and letters written by children to world leaders and a personal invitation to attend the World Peace Conference in 2009 The women were allowed to present Amma with flowers reserved for guests of honor.

Amma is leaving her heart energy around the world and her humanitarian efforts are nothing short of amazing. It was a gift and an honor to be a part of her Chicago Tour. We hope to see her again in 2009.
