Guru Purnima is the most important time of the year for receiving the blessings of holy people.  Blessings received during this time are equal to the blessings received during the entire rest of the year.

In honor of Guru Purnima, this year we will celebrate the divinity, grace and abundant blessings from Amma on Sunday, July 15 in San Francisco..

The program will include a cultural performance, Amma's divine discourse and bhajans. We will also have an opportunity to celebrate Amma’s Divine Being through the ever sacred Sri Pada Puja to Amma’s lotus feet.

According to India's venerable rishis, cosmic energy flows through the human body, entering through the crown chakra and leaving through the feet. This is the reason why so much importance is given to the holy lotus feet of God, one's guru, or any holy person. The guru becomes a channel for tremendous cosmic energy, which is available to all through the guru's lotus feet. Thus, honoring the guru at this time of year is most auspicious. Cosmic energy flows from the guru's feet in abundance.

Amma has touched the lives of countless people in her incarnation, leaving devotees overflowing with bliss and tremendous gratitude. You are cordially invited to join us in our celebration of appreciation to our beloved Amma.
