Beloved Mothers,
"I was in doubt as to how to address
you, dear ones! As a man in the late seventies, I am really old enough to call
you all my daughters, nay, even grand-daughters; but as an ardent and devout
devotee of the Supreme Divine Mother, I see every one of you as Her true
representative. So, I have no hesitation in addressing you as ‘Beloved Mothers’.
According to one of our ancient scriptures,
which describes the beings and places where the Holy Mother is ever present,
virgins and pure white fragrant flowers are considered important and most
suitable for Her manifestation. Therefore I feel happy to address you as
mothers, with reverence and devotion."
(This is a part of the excerpts of the speech of Mr.
Ramachandra, the highly esteemed Editor of the internationally famous ‘Religious
Digest’, who delivered this speech to sixty four Roman Catholic Nuns, belonging
to different Orders, at the Aquinas University College, Colombo in 1971.)
