Often referred as the “hugging saint”, 64-year-old Mata Amritanandmayi comes from Parayakadavu in Kerala and her form of giving darshana is by hugging people.
She had earlier said that people come to her to tell of their sorrows.
“They would cry and I would wipe their tears. When they fell weeping into my lap, I used to hug them. Then the next person too wanted it... And so the habit picked up.”
For over 30 years, Amma Mata has embraced more than 33 million people throughout the world.
