Mt Amritanandamay Devi, or "Amma," is considered one of the great spiritual leaders of the world and is revered as a saint by many. She is a widely respected humanitarian and is known as "the hugging saint" for her tireless hours sharing unconditional love through her embrace.
Satsang means "in the company of truth." It is an opportunity for us to come together to enjoy the Grace of Amma through our social connection and simple spiritual practices. Our program starts with a video or audio clip of Amma's teachings, followed by time-honored chanting of sacred names, singing or simply sitting in the presence of soul-stirring songs (bhajans), hearing readings of Amma's teachings, performing Arati, a beautiful ritual of purification to the Divine Mother, meditating and praying for peace in the exquisite energy and grace generated through the previous activities.
Please RSVP to Melissa Ingram, ingramstudio@kcnet.com, so that we can arrange enough food.
