This year Amma's programs in Addison, Texas fell on the July 2nd and 3rd, and the spirit of Independence Day was in the air. The first morning, Addison's Mayor, Joe Chow, came to greet Amma upon her arrival at the program site. He welcomed Amma with a short speech and a garland.

Chow said, "Amma has done so much for the world not only India. She is a Symbol of Peace. It is not a religion that she preaches; it is her love to the world".

In fact, Chow's feelings about America's Independence Day are embodied by Amma. He elaborated "We need to remove barriers of discrimination. We can do this through communication, cultural exchange and overcoming our differences so as to become one family".
