Introduction

Indian guru Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma) known as the “Hugging Saint” says she is Embracing the World.
We believe she is Embezzling the World.

She may well give out hugs but they certainly are not free. Once you are trapped in her embrace you could well end up handing over to her all your wealth, your health and in fact your life. She not only gives hugs, but also beatings to those close to her.

Claims to be pure and expects others to renounce sex, be vegetarian and forgo pleasures yet she is having secret sexual liaisons with her swamis and gorging herself on fish curries behind closed doors.
Claims to be the Mother of Compassion but threatens and maligns any who criticize her or speak out, including her personal attendant of 20 years.

Has a public image of being a respectable humanitarian and philanthropist with UN connections to attract donations yet encourages her devotees to worship her as God and buy dolls in her image, chant verses and sing songs praising her as a Goddess.

Claims to be great humanitarian but in fact gives less than 10% of those foreign donations for real humanitarian projects. Enriches her family via secret deliveries of gold and cash. Has US$342 million sitting in foreign bank accounts. Amma cynically uses the wretched poverty of the millions who live in India, in conditions that those of us in the West saw in “Slumdog Millionaire”, to pull in donations. So effectively that in 2008 she received more foreign donations than Oxfam for the whole of India! Yet not once has her organization ever published a financial statement. This woman is now possibly the richest guru on the planet!

We believe it is time the world was told the TRUTH as to who she REALLY is!
