Can you explain how Devi Bhava program is different from the other evening programs?
The Devi Bhava program is a celebration of the Divine Mother. Devi Bhavas usually begin at 7:00 pm on weekdays. The program begins with a talk by Amma which usually lasts 30 minutes. After the talk, Amma performs a puja (or ritualistic worship of the Divine) with everyone. The evening darshan begins after the puja and may last as late as 4:00 am or 6:00 am. The program concludes with Amma blessing the group by showering everyone with flower petals. During Devi Bhava darshans Amma dresses in colorful saris and reveals her innate Divine nature.
