THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, INDIA, November 30, 2002: The future of the human race depends almost solely on women, and if she is not fully aware of her stupendous responsibility, humanity will suffer, said Mata Amritanandamayi on her return from the Global Peace Initiative of Women at the UN in Geneva where she received the coveted Gandhi-King Award for her massive humanitarian works. According to Mata, today’s mothers are not playing their crucial role in molding the character of their children, especially daughters. The motherly instinct of the woman is the most fundamental and natural. All other roles are subservient to that. But today’s mothers seem to fall in the trap of the glitz and glamour of the show world, she said.
