20-22 Nov, Sandown Park, Esher, UK – Europe Yatra 2025
After her program in the Hof Herrenberg Ashram, Amma and the tour group traveled through Germany, across Belgium and finally traversing the northern coast of France before arriving at the famous engineering marvel, “The Chunnel”. After crossing the 50km passage under the English Channel the tour group arrived to the United Kingdom.
For the next three days large crowds braved the frigid temperatures outside to experience the warmth of Amma’s embrace. Each day a full hall was packed with people sharing wonderful moments of meditation, satsang, bhajans and darshan.
On the first day of the program Amma was welcomed to the UK by several dignitaries. These included Shivani Raja MP, adventurer Karen Darke and entrepreneur Poppy Jamie.
Addressing the crowd, Shivani Raja, Member of Parliament said: “As an MP, I spend much of my time dealing with the immediate pressures people face at home. It is deeply striking to me that Amma’s entire life has been dedicated to addressing the same challenges but on a global scale …and not through policy or politics but through compassion and service. “
Next, Karen Darke, who is a British Paralympic cyclist, Paratriathlete, adventurer and author said, “Life is an adventure, it’s a journey to learn and grow from. Nothing I have ever accomplished could have been done without incredible people, connection, compassion, love, belief, trust. We think we are not enough, it’s part of being human but I love to remind myself of the quote : ” Our mind is a garden, our thoughts are the seeds, we can plant flowers or we can grow weed ” With these flowers, wonderful things can happen, even more so since I met Amma as Magic happens around Amma.”
The entrepreneur, television presenter and best-selling author Poppy Jamie welcomed Amma, “It is a huge honor to be in the company of someone so selfless, so in service to humanity’s rising. Amma represents a choice we all hold : to choose a life of love, fulfilling our greatest potential or remain sucked in the chaos and selfishness that everyday life can present.
Thank you Amma for being this shining light, constantly inspiring us to choose and re-choose a life of love and a life of kindness”
After the programs in the United Kingdom, Amma visited the Ashram and traveled back to continental Europe to conclude her tour with the final program in Holland.
