AMMA, the *hugging mother*, is coming to London this month to hug as many Londoners as she can possibly fit in a day.
Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, known as Amma, is a Hindu spiritual leader famous for transferring her energy to her devotees through physical contact. With Amma, hugging takes on a both metaphorical and literal relevance: it is a compassionate act but also a medium to pass on good, powerful vibes.
Amma also runs an Ashram in South of India (Kerala), welcoming thousands of followers, although, being a globetrotter, she hardly resides there these days.
Amma's UK visit's Calendar can be found here.
"My Desire: Everyone in the world should be able to sleep without fear, at least for one night [...]. "

Hello hello,
ReplyDeleteI passed by her place last year during my trip but unfortunately she was indeed travelling so if you get the chance to see her, let me know how it was... I will hug people tomorrow with a particular thought for you my dear Silvia :)
Hi Aurelie
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you. I meant to contact you to hear all about NYC, but then I thought I would wait for you to settle down. No doubt I will be in touch soon!
P.S. Sadly, I couldn't go, but a friend went and really enjoyed the hug!
