A SPIRITUAL leader recognised for her work fostering peace and harmony between diverse religions is visiting the area.

Mata Amritanandamayi - known as Amma - has won international awards for peace and is recognised by the United Nations for her work helping to provide hospital access to people living in poverty.

Amma is appearing at Crystal Palace Sports Centre Ledrington Road, Upper Norwood, London on October 9, 10 and 11 to further her mission to spread unconditional love, regardless of belief.
