"I am looking into every corner of your being. I am looking at everything within you to see where I can help, where I can give healing and power. At the same time, I am giving Light to every part of your being, I am opening every part of yourself to Light. When you are open you will feel and see this clearly."

     

"Those who come to me for darshan receive whatever they need - knowledge does not necessarily come with the Light. When our devotion, surrender and humility grow deeper and deeper, then knowledge will come from Paramatman and will make things clearer and clearer."
~ Mother Meera

What Is Darshan?

Darshan is a Sanskrit word that means vision or seeing the Divine. It is the experience of receiving a vision, blessing, or feeling of a Divine presence through meditation, prayer, deep aspiration, or simply by sudden grace.

 

Darshan is deeply intimate and at the same time expansive and universal. One connects with the Divine Mother and with one's own divinity. It is seeing and being seen. It is indescribable and must be experienced.

 

First we kneel, bow down (pranam) in front of Mother Meera, and then she takes our head between her hands. During this time, Mother is working at the soul level, untying knots of your karma.

 

When she removes her hands, we look up into her eyes.

When she drops her eyes, this is the cue that the individual darshan with Mother Meera is finished.

 

Let Us Know

To better accommodate those who may need additional help during Darshan, we ask that you inform us in advance if you:

• Cannot kneel comfortably in front of Mother for thirty seconds.
• Use a wheelchair, are vision-impaired, have extreme difficulty walking or any other
  condition that will require special assistance.

If any of the above circumstances apply to you, please let us know by sending an email to reservationsmmna@gmail.com. This will allow us to make arrangements that will enable you to receive Darshan in comfort and safety. If you are unable to sit or kneel comfortably in line but can kneel for individual Darshan, please sit in any unreserved row. When your row is called, please walk to the front of the line and proceed directly to the waiting area on stage as soon as space opens up. You may also stand on the waiting rug until you kneel in front of Mother.
