Mobile Temple Festival News
Amma's mobile temple space was booked for the Kingston
Green Fair and the Sunrise Celebration, but unfortunately
both these events had to be cancelled at the last minute
due to severe weather and floods.
However for this year's Glastonbury Festival, famous
among other things for its mud, we were blessed with the
best stretch of fine weather the U.K. has experienced for
several weeks. It was in the comparatively peaceful healing
field of the Glastonbury Festival where devotees lovingly
created a beautiful temple for Amma in the already
attractive haj tent.
Throughout the 5 day festival a steady stream of people of
all ages and from all walks of life were drawn over to the
temple. Many were keen to find out more about Amma. Several
people had heard of Amma, but didn't realise they could
actually meet her personally in England, or the extent of
her humanitarian work.
Those who had already met Amma were very pleased to see the
temple, with Amma's loving eyes & compassionate
smile radiating out from a photo on the altar, and many
happy experiences of being with Amma were shared.
We had daily sessions of chanting Lokah Samastah Sukhino
Bhavantu and also meditation and evening bhajans for all to
join. Many people came to the temple to meditate, or just to
enjoy the peaceful atmosphere in the temple. Free teas were
on offer, and there was always a devotee on hand to answer
questions.
We hope to take Amma's temple to some other festivals
this year, and commit to more events next year. But for
this, we need more people to help at the festivals. If you
are interested in helping out, have any suggestions for
suitable events, or would just like to be informed of the
