We like to cuddle, hug, and embrace. Here's our chance to do it with India's "Hugging Saint" Mata Amrita-ananda-mayi (amma.org).
FREE events and activities will be going on during her visit to Los Angeles and other cities on her world tour:

Carpooling, ride-sharing, Metro, buses on website. This is an annual event across the world and in her California ashram in case you ever want to run away and join the Hindu circus. "Mother" Amma love to hug all. RSVP FREE
WHO IS AMMA?
As a small girl in South India, Amma drew attention by spending many hours in deep meditation on the seashore, composing devotional songs and singing to the divine, songs of remarkable depth and wisdom.
Then when she encountered the needy, she gave them food and clothing from her home.

According to Hinduism, the suffering of the individual is due to one's own karma — the results of past actions/deeds. Amma accepted this concept, but she refused to accept it as a justification for inaction.
She contemplated the principle of karma until she revealed a more profound truth, asking a question she continues to ask: “If it is one person’s karma (result of action) to suffer, isn’t it our dharma (duty) to help ease that person's suffering and pain?”
Goddess (devi) offers metta and karuna. |
