Gloria! Gloria! Peace on Earth! In excelsis Deo! Amen! Let's have a minute of silent meditation to rejoice...

Fine. Now we have a question and a comment about this fabulous event.
Let's begin with the question : what about the conspiracy? Please, remember the evil plan against our poor beloved Amma. Gail Tredwell's book was said to be an attempt to defame Hindu Saints and Mahatmas. This infamous attack was supposedly led by Vatican Secret Agency. So? That's it? After spending a whole year slandering Gail, accusing her of being a Catholic agent on a maleficient mission, the devotees will now sing out of joy because Amma is going to Vatican? If some so-called "spiritual seekers" are able to swap their opinion so easily then needless to try to understand the logic of such fleeting erratic minds.
Let's now switch to the comment. The popes are politicians above all. Therefore it is part of their role to meet various personalities ranging from religious leaders, to politicians and even global billionaires. What for a honor for the little fisherman's daughter, raised as a global guru by US rich devotees, to be treated like the greatest celebrities of this world. But let's not forget that Vatican's leaders have always been akin to mafia leaders. This encounter is likely to cover her stained reputation with a thin coat of golden media light but it is likely to add more cracks in her crumbling spiritual foundations.
Does the election of Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India has something to do with this sudden interfaith global gathering? Or is she just seeking personal advices from professionnals to become THE Ultimate Thugging Saint of India? If that is her intention then she'd better learn her lesson well with Pope Francis, for another international Amma is nibbling her market share : physically plump, Mother of Compassion, Embodiment of Motherly Love, showering unconditional love, charities, free education, natural disaster relief... The competition will grow fiercer.
