Source of inspiration in Kenya
I thought this is a WP:UNDUE in this article:
"Harambee", the national motto of Kenya which appers on the country's coat of arms, is considered to be derived from the name of Ambee Mata - a reincarnation of Durga riding a tiger. Kenya's first president Jomo Kenyatta is said to have witnessed a team of Hindu railway line workers, carrying huge loads of iron rails and sleeper blocks and chanting "har, har ambee!" (praise, praise to Ambee Mother!) - which Kenyatta regarded as a metaphor for a nation working together, communicating and sharing its load, an example to be emulated by Kenyans of all faiths[1][2]
