"[Darshan] is the best joy."
Painting by Mother Meera from the book "Bringing down the Light."

While in the Darshan Hall, you will sit quietly, meditating and praying (eyes open or closed). Each person will have the opportunity to receive individual Darshan. When you are ready for your personal Darshan, you will get in line. If you aren't comfortable kneeling in the Darshan line, just walk right up front and be the next person in line. If you are unable to kneel for Darshan and would like to sit in a chair, you will wait until the end and a volunteer will signal when it is time for you to come up and a chair well be provided for you.
Darshan is deeply intimate and at the same time expansive and universal. One connects with the Divine Mother and with one's own divinity. It is seeing and being seen. It is indescribable and must be experienced. The impact of Darshan is life-changing.
When you kneel in front of Mother, She holds your head. This is called Pranan and Mother is working at the soul level, untying knots of your karma. When Mother releases your head, She looks into your eyes. She says She is "looking into every corner of your being. I am looking at everything within you to see where I can help, where I can give healing and power. At the same time, I am giving Light to every part of your being, I am opening every part of your self to the Light."
When mother drops Her gaze, get up and go back to your seat.
