- Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma)
Youngsters need to understand the purpose of life. They need courage and wisdom to face the challenges of life. With that understanding, they become the light of the world. If we care for them responsibly, molding their whole character with love, then the future of the world will be safe.
