O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. Jai Sai Ram." All present remained standing to observe a Minute's silence led by the Mayor, Cr Roz Blades AM who made the following statement: "We as a Council were shaken by issues that occurred recently in the country of New Zealand. We have expressed our sorrow and support to the people of Christchurch through their Mayor and their Prime Minister. I know that many people in this community of Greater Dandenong have been greatly shocked and affected by this incident. I would like everyone in the chamber tonight, and those watching on the webcast, to observe a minute’s silence to reflect or pray in your own way, for the all of those affected by this terrible tragedy both in Australia and in New Zealand.
