I have had a hug from her a long time ago and although I go to her programmes in London one hug is enough for me. I go mostly to make new friends and listen to Bhajans on stage.
I prefer not to hug or even shake hands with anybody as 90% don't wash their hands after using the toilet.
FOR ME NAMASTE IS THE CORRECT WAY OF GREETINGS ...no contact unless you know the person very very well
