June 20-24, Albuquerque, New Mexico – USA Yatra 2010
After the program in Los Angeles, driving 14 hours crossing the barren landscape of the Mojave Desert, Amma reached Albuquerque, the largest city in the state of New Mexico.
In Albuquerque, two public programs and a three-day retreat were held. The city is famous for its Native American and Hispanic culture. During Amma’s Program, a lot of people from traditional backgrounds came to receive Amma’s blessings and to show their deep gratitude to Amma.
New Mexico State Representative Mimi Stewart welcomed Amma on behalf of the city of Albuquerque. Since 1994, Stewart has been a key leader in the reform of public education, human rights and women’s issues. Senior New Mexico Government official Kelly O’Donnell also came for Amma’s darshan.
During Amma’s darshan, Hispanic devotees spontaneously expressed their love and affection for Amma in a song.
