Mata Amritanandamayi, or Amma, as she is more affectionately called, is featured on CNN today – wowza! Amma is known as the “hugging saint” because she holds events all over the world in which followers line up for hours to receive a single magical hug from her. Amma just recently visited Los Angeles, in fact, where thousands of people (yoga students included) received inspiring hugs from this most charismatic and unique of gurus. (Santa Barbara Ashtanga teacher Steve Dwelley actually wrote about his experience visiting Amma earlier this month in his blog.)
