Amma’s Darshan
Amma’s embrace, known as her darshan, is how Amma welcomes all those who come to her. During this hug, one can experience her unconditional love.
“When I embrace people, it is not just physical contact taking place. The love I feel for all of creation flows towards each person.”
- Amma
A motherly embrace
During her programs, Amma hugs each person who attends. Amma has given this motherly embrace to more than 40 million people throughout the world. Amma has been known to give darshan for more than 22 hours without interruption.
Amma is on a first-name basis with thousands around the world. When people pour out their hearts to her, Amma offers them emotional solace, spiritual guidance, and concrete solutions to their problems.

As long as there is enough strength to reach out to those who come to me, to place my hand on a crying person’s shoulder, I will continue to embrace people.
