Amma's Mobile Temple

In June, the Amma Temple returned to the Healing Fields of Glastonbury Festival for the 4th year running.

It was a real blessing and a delight to be part of the team, to bring Amma and Her message to a wide and varied audience, accessing many people that would not normally be drawn to “alternative” paths. Blessed by the warm, sunny weather throughout, we were able to take off the front of the Temple, revealing the beautiful altar with Amma’s smiling photo that blessed many passers-by, many of whom were drawn in to the Temple; to read more about Amma, to ask questions, to book a massage or simply to sit in the Temple and connect with the loving energy.

We started in the mornings with meditation and reciting Archana, followed by an afternoon of healing sessions and publicity. Information stands were set up outside the Temple. We handed out leaflets and spoke to many interested people, some of whom had heard of Amma and wanted to met Her, some who had met Her and were delighted to see Her at Glastonbury festival and others who had never heard of Her, but who were drawn to Her and wanted to know more.

The Temple also became a place of respite for people in the intensity of the heat. Some just rested, some received healing, all gratefully drank the water. It seemed that all who spent time in the Temple were touched deeply and felt nourished when they left. We finished the day with sweet Bhajans, welcoming all to share from their heart, finishing with Arati.

It was a beautiful and touching service to perform and so sad to take the Temple and Amma’s photo down! We hope to take the Temple to more gatherings next year.
