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.
