Amma will be at MA Center Chicago Friday, August 9 through Sunday, August 11, 2024
Prior to the pandemic, Amma visited the U.S. yearly for more than 30 years. This is Amma's first visit to the U.S. since 2019. While here, Amma spends 12-15 hours with the public every day in about multiple cities across the U.S. In each location she visits, Amma gives talks, leads prayers for world peace, gives one-on-one advice, and simply embraces the people who come to see her. People of all faiths and walks of life come to see Amma, who is a source of inspiration and solace and a model of hope, love, and selflessness in these difficult times. Come meet Amma this summer at one of her free public programs at MA Center Chicago.
