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.
