Amma’s Tours
From 1987 through 2019, Amma spent more than 8 months out of every year on the road, holding free public programs throughout India and across the world. In 2023, Amma began to travel internationally again. While receiving Amma’s embrace is the centerpoint of these entirely volunteer-run events, there is truly something for everyone, from meditation and soul-stirring devotional music to practical wisdom and service opportunities. Meeting Amma on tour is to experience compassion in action.
“A continuous stream of love flows from me to all of creation. This is my inborn nature. My duty is to console those who are suffering,”
- Amma

Receive Darshan
Amma welcomes all those who come to her with her motherly embrace, known as her darshan. During this hug, one can directly experience Amma’s unconditional love. On the last night of Amma’s programs in any given city, Amma also gives a mantra to all who wish to receive one.

Meditate with Amma
As an ambassador of peace, Amma offers us daily guided meditations to gain serenity. These include Amma’s MA-OM meditation, using simple mantras synchronized with the breath, and Amma’s white flower meditation for world peace. Amma invites us to gradually turn the mind inwards to experience of our own silent presence.

Sing bhajans with Amma
Amma says that in today’s world, chanting is an especially effective spiritual practice: “By loud singing, one can overcome other distracting sounds and achieve concentration. Chanting, concentration, meditation—this is the progression.”

May the tree of our lives be rooted in the soil of love, may good deeds be the leaves, kind words be the flowers, and peace be the fruit. May the world flourish as one family, united in love.
