There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

How can we overcome stress that we experience in our everyday lives? How can we resolve conflicts both within and without? How can we develop a sense of understanding and empathy for people of different ethnicity, different religious beliefs, different cultures, and different upbringings? How can we, through personal choices in our everyday lives and involvement in the community, work towards global harmony? These are the kinds of questions that we all have.
Amma (which means Mother in most Indian languages) Sri Karunamayi is a humanitarian and serves as the inspiration for a number of charitable work in India and in the US. In India, she has been instrumental in bringing clean drinking water, free K-12 education, free housing, and free hospital care for tribal people who have no access to such facilities in rural Andra Pradesh (a State in India). In the US, she has been organizing feeding in homeless shelters (including dinner service once a month at the Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless on Pine Street), and health screening for the poor in various major cities including Atlanta.
In this highly interactive evening town hall, mother will answer these and many other questions and offer her simple suggestions on how to lead a healthy lifestyle individually and collectively to work towards peace and global harmony.
