About The Play
Mataji, born in a poor family on the banks of the Ganga in India, has a simple gift to offer to the world: a loving hug. Over two decades, her embrace has brought boundless joy to millions of devotees. She has travelled to sixty-five countries, hugging thousands in one sitting, sending them into raptures through the transmission of pure bliss that accompanies her hugs. Her followers on five continents no longer regard her as a mere guru, but as Krishna incarnate. Then, on her sixteenth visit to California, she confronts a devotee she cannot satisfy. Through him, she discovers much about her powers, and the world discovers much about her.
