-J. Fausett, Mayor Coralville, Iowa, USA 3 July 2008

The greatest miracle that takes place in Amma’s presence occurs in the hearts of those who come to her. Amma has inspired many humanitarian activities that have drawn the attention of the world community. Now, therefore, I, Mayor Jim L. Fausett, proclaim July 2nd and 3rd 2008 to be the ‘Days of Amma the Hugging Saint’ in the city of Coralville.
