Amma's June '08 Visit

Public Programs

Friday May 30

Please join us for this special time with Amma in a free public program of inspirational music, meditation, spiritual discourse and darshan ("blessing" or hug). Numbered tokens to receive Amma's personal blessing are distributed one hour before the start of the program.

Fisher Pavilion is one of the many buildings that make up the cultural and entertainment area known collectively as the Seattle Center. Many know it because of the Space Needle. Fisher Pavilion is at the Northeast corner of Thomas Street and 2nd Ave N (West of Seattle Center House and South of the Fountain). It is mainly buried in the hillside and is most visible when approaching from the Fountain.

Devi Bhava (open to the public)

Monday June 2

Devi Bhava public programs are free and begin with a puja (worship ceremony and meditation for peace), followed by unique time with Amma in the tradition of the Divine Mother. Live music is played throughout the night while Amma gives darshan ("blessing") to every individual who comes to her.

If you are coming for the puja, plan to arrive by 5:30 PM to assure best seating.
