Need a hug? Amma Tour is coming near you
soon! The "Mother of all Huggers", Amma, gives hugs (not drugs) in her Darshan ceremonies. Who needs a neti pot anyways...
"Amma's only wish is that Her hands should always be on someone's shoulder, consoling and caressing them and wiping their tears, even while breathing Her last." Koko, I nominate you to be first in line. Capt., you're second. Third? Hmm, upon careful consideration I've decided that Ralph doesn't need a hug, so I nominate kitfisto instead.
hug hatersfish tick/Fes, she's not hugging millions in one sitting. I don't see it any different than say, oh, a politician shaking hands at a rally. Heck, I survive riding the NYC subway everyday. Who knows the untold germs I'm picking up on the greasy hand rails/poles. I think it's just boosting my natural immunity in the long run. ASHRAM BABY!! I was given a tissue to wipe my face - I guess to make sure Amma did not receive any germs from the thousands that embrace her daily. The hug itself was sweet, as she whispered “My daughter, my daughter” in my ear…
