CHENNAI: Parents need to cultivate spiritual values in their children from a very young age and if they don’t, the child will spend its entire life in tears, said spiritual guru Mata Amritanandamayi Devi. Addressing devotees in her Ashram here during the Brahmasthanam Mahotsavam celebrations, Amritanandamayi on Wednesday said it is spiritual values that give children the strength to face and overcome all sorrows and hardships in life.
