Amrita Kripa Neeti Pratishtan
 |
Justice For All
One of Amma's new charitable projects is the
Amrita Kripa Neeti Pratishtan, a project that
aims to provide free legal aid to the poor and
disadvantaged in India. The legal cell currently
has 1,008 lawyers registered to engage in this
work. |
A further 500 applications await Amma's approval,
according to Adv. K Srikumar who is organizing the
project. Although comprised mostly of practicing lawyers,
the group includes retired judges and law professors
as well. The lawyers present at Amritavarsham50 took
the following pledge in the Divine Presence of Amma:
 |
We the members of Amrita Kripa
Neeti Pratishtan solemnly take pledge that we
shall strive our best towards the upliftment
of the weaker sections of society in their struggle
towards social and economic justice, and we shall,
through the selfless sharing of our talents,
knowledge and wisdom, render justice to suffering
humanity and devote ourselves to the fulfilment
of the objects of the Pratishtan, as envisioned
by Amma. |
Shri. P.C. Thomas, the Union Minister of State for
Law and Justice, announced that the Government of India's
Law Department has taken serious note of the project,
and is going to assist in its implementation.
The Neeti Pratishtan will focus on providing alternative
dispute resolution mechanisms of mediation and conciliation
procedures, as well as "Neeti Mela" for resolving
disputes and for counselling people in their basic
legal rights. The lawyers will take up the causes of
individuals and agencies involved in environmental,
tribal and human rights violations, as well as represent
the physically and mentally handicapped. The Neeti
Pratishtan will also attempt to infuse the legal system
with spiritual principles and, in general, to help
people view their legal, social and other related problems
from a spiritual perspective, thereby helping to find
solutions.

Through Amrita Kripa Neeti Pratishtan,
Amma is providing the legal fraternity of India
an opportunity to use its talents and passion
for justice to help suffering humanity. Participation
is open to lawyers of all castes and creeds.
Justice, they say, is blind. But, the Amrita
Kripa Neeti Pratishtan project is nothing less
than divinely inspired vision. Amma's foresight
has insured that, for a change, the scales will
be kept truly in balance for all. Is there any
area of life where Amma hasn't extended Her consoling
touch? |
