Mata Amritanandamayi, one of India’s most beloved spiritual leaders and an internationally inspiring humanitarian, will be visiting the Chicagoland area from July 11 through 13. 
brbr
        Affectionately known throughout the world as Amma (mother) for her selfless love and compassion toward all beings, she will be offering a number of programs during her stay, including teaching, individual embraces (darshan), her powerful singing and meditations.
brbr
        Amma’s unconditional love and compassion, offered through her embrace, powerfully impact those that connect with her. Amma has embraced more than 34 million people. “Where there is true love, anything is effortless,” she says.
brbr
        Amma’s global charities, such as Embracing the World (EmbracingTheWorld.org), include educational programs, disaster relief, housing, schools, orphanages, hospitals, medical assistance, environmental initiatives, sex-trafficking initiatives and more.
brbr
        All are invited to any of Amma’s free programs. Individuals may experience a personal blessing (hug) from Amma, enjoy inspirational live music, meditation, spiritual discourse, healing arts, and delicious vegetarian food throughout the three days of public programs. It’s suggested that guests arrive early to get a “token”—a number—as the lines to see Amma can be long.
