A token system is set up to allow you to enjoy the activities offered in the hall while waiting for your embrace.

This free token is distributed onsite only, before each program, on a first-come, first-served basis. Each person, including babies, must be present to receive their token.

Amma’s visit attracts a growing number of people, so there can be long lines to receive token and then to receive her embrace. Planning to arrive early is the best option. If you arrive late, you may only have a darshan token for the next program.

Your darshan token will have a number. When your number is displayed, it is time to join one of the two lines that lead to Amma.

If you wish, fruits, plants and garlands can be purchased at the entrance of the darshan line. These offerings are a traditional custom in India as symbols of our gratitude.

Unfortunately, strollers and large bags cannot be taken inside. Please leave strollers in the designated stroller area in the entrance hall, and bags in the space provided near the coat racks.

Please note that the coat racks and stroller area are unattended, and the organizer cannot take responsibility for any items left there. Thank you for your understanding!

A team is available to welcome and accompany people requiring special assistance: people in wheelchairs, with reduced mobility and with serious health problems. We welcome these persons in a reserved area and keep a space inside the halls to facilitate their movements. The lobbies usually have access for disabled people.

Only one person can accompany the person requiring assistance. Other family members will need to join the main queue.

Important: there is no priority of passage, so please allow sufficient time.I

In each country, hundreds to thousands of volunteers make it possible to invite Amma.

We aim at balancing the expenses of the event thanks to the meals, benefits and specific program donations. This allows us to ensure that the proceeds from the stores and donations made during the program are fully donated to Amma’s humanitarian initiatives, and the public can continue to enjoy Amma’s visit for free..

Amma answers questions during the morning programs. However, the number of questions is limited. It is, therefore, recommended that you arrive early, well before the program to ensure that you have a chance to ask a question. Please contact the question assistant in front of the hall.

Prasad means a blessed gift. After the embrace, Amma will place a sweet wrapped in a rose petal in your hand. Sometimes Amma may also give you a fruit or Vibhuti that is holy ash.

Pets are not permitted in the programs.
