Reservations
CLICK HERE to open/close the KNEELING and SPECIAL NEEDS section
  • If you have any problem which makes it difficult to kneel, walk up onto the stage, kneel or bend in front of Mother, or if you have a wheelchair, then please contact us now to let us know. When you contact us please give your name, and those of anyone else with difficulties on your reservation, as they appear on your reservation.
  • If you are unable to kneel or bend in front of Mother, please speak to a seating volunteer as soon as you enter the hall so that you can be seated in the area designated for those with special needs at the front of the hall. If you have a friend with you who does not have mobility issues we will do our best to ensure that they can sit as near to you as possible, they will have their darshan when their row is called which will usually be not long after you have yours. You will be assisted to go up onto the stage by a volunteer and you can have your darshan seated on a chair, you will not need to kneel. You will be assisted to go back to your seat afterwards.
  • If you can kneel and bend in front of Mother but have trouble staying in a kneeling position whilst in the queue on the central carpet then, when your row is invited out for darshan, please skip the queue, walk up to the foot of the stairs leading onto the stage and take a place on the carpet when those already there move forward.
  • If you have a wheelchair then unfortunately, due to the fact that Mother is seated on a stage, you will not be able to go onto the stage for an individual darshan. Instead you may receive darshan generally whilst in the hall and when Mother gives a “group blessing” at the end.
CLICK HERE to open/close the CHILDREN and BABIES section
  • Any child may, if they wish, receive darshan unaided, if they are under 16 please take note of the following points:
  • Please contact us now to let us know that you will be bringing a child / children. When you contact us please give your name and your child’s / children’s name(s) as they appears on your reservation.
  • In addition, when you make your reservation and add your child/children as attendees, please be sure to click the “Child” tick box and enter their birthday. This allows us to check the number of children attending each darshan session and their ages.
  • When you arrive at the darshan hall, please speak to a volunteer, who will guide you to the children’s volunteer, who will look after you and take you up for darshan when it is your turn.
  • Note that all parents with children assemble, together with their children, on the stage before Mother enters the hall (nb: only one parent is allowed to accompany their children). A carpeted area is provided and they can either kneel or sit on it. They then receive darshan early on and once they have all had darshan they are guided by the children’s volunteer to leave the hall. As we cannot look after your children you may not leave them to go back into the hall. There is however a children’s room where you can go. The children’s volunteer will explain everything to you when you arrive.
  • If you are a parent with a disability and will be bringing children, please contact us in advance to let us know.
  • Please note that babies do not receive their own individual darshan. Their parent goes for darshan as normal, carrying their baby, who receives it through them. Babies only need to have a reservation if they occupy a chair.
Notes
  • Each person may only attend ONE darshan on any given day. If you wish and are able to travel between venues you may attend more than one darshan; for example you can have one darshan in London and one in Solihull.
  • For those who attend a 10am, 1pm or 4pm darshan – if seats are available in the hall for the following session you may stay and meditate whilst the darshan takes place, however you may not go forward for a second darshan – this is not permitted by Mother.
  • A description of how darshan works, etiquette to be observed, etc. can be found on this page on mothermeera.com – click here; (ignore the request to print your reservation, this is not needed for UK darshans). Please don’t worry if it still sounds complicated: on the day you will be guided every step of the way and the process flows smoothly.
  • Please help to spread the word about Mother’s UK visit – click the image below to download an A5 poster announcing the event. You can either email this to people you know who might be interested, or print it and put up copies in your local area, for example in libraries, community centres, yoga and meditation groups, health food shops and other display boards.
  • Mother will not be visiting other cities in the UK or Ireland during this visit and currently there are no plans for her to do so in 2026. If you want her to visit your city then the advice we always give is to write to her and ask. There are no guarantees, but if there is sufficient interest then she may decide to come.
