Devi Bhava - Free Program (Sunday): July 13 at 7:00 p.m.
Devi Bhava, literally translated as "the mood of the divine mother," is a a very special event that celebrates the feminine aspect of God, and God's unconditional love and compassion for all humanity. It is a traditional, joyful celebration when Amma gives darshan as the Divine Mother.
The evening commences with an Atma Puja, a ceremony to promote peace and well being for the world. In honor of the Divine Self that dwells in all, the Atma Puja includes a spiritual talk by Amma, a powerful ceremony that involves chanting the names of Devi (the divine mother), and the distribution of holy water blessed by Amma to all attendees. Following the puja, Amma offers her darshan to everyone present. Once every one has received darshan, Amma blesses all participants by showering petals on those gatheres in a poignant conclusion to the program.
