Indian Guru Amma Holds Berlin Hugfest

BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 12: Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, primarily known simply as Amma ('Mother'), the hugging saint, hugs a devotee as another brings her a flower in the event hall Arena, on November 12, 2014 in Berlin, Germany. Amritanandamayi, an Indian guru, has hugged over 33 million people around the world, her own form of a Hindu blessing known as a Darshan, a gesture she believes 'can help to awaken dormant spiritual energy within them.' Amma also runs a group of global charities, known as Embracing the World. (Photo by Adam Berry/Getty Images)
