Human after all?

An information received from a reliable source is currently spreading among Mata Amritanandamayi’s devotees. Yet this story still needs to be verified. We chose to share it, hoping to get more details to confirm or refute the facts.

Techno-Compassion in Action

In 2014 Amma took part in a global faith leaders summit, along with Pope Francis in Vatican City. She vowed to help ending slavery and human trafficking in the world by 2020. Here we are. Four years later. It’s 2020 now. What has she done to tackle this human atrocity?

God or Guns (or both) ?

Mata Amritanandamayi is a spiritual teacher, a guru, a saint, a wise woman, a guide who leads truth-seekers on the righteous path. According to her God takes care of everything, God protects us, we must rely on God only.

Festival of cruelty

Amma displays impressive compassion daily. We would like to know what unfolds behind the curtain. Sometimes we stumble across clues that can offer a glimpse into the dark side, stories of treason

Better than AIMS

Mata Amritanandamayi has built the Amrita Institute of Medical Science (AIMS) out of compassion for poor people who couldn't afford for super-specialty health care. Good news, she is planning to build one more hospital.

Tuition Fees in USD

We do our best to deliver accurate information on this blog but it's not easy when it's about money. Most amounts are in rupees. We divide the number by 60 to give approximate sum in dollars. But this time we have found a very interesting document.

Amritian ironic point of view

Most people spend their time disclosing their private life and thoughts online through social media. Amrita students don't escape the rule. Looking at their posts offers an overview at one glance of the mindset that prevails in Mata Amritanandamayi's institutions.

Free healthcare at AIMS for the poor?

Embracing The World claims that AIMS offers free healthcare for poor people. But there is something wrong with the numbers.

2011 nurse Strike, the whole story

Our team has recently found an article dealing with the 2011 nurse strike that spread throughout India. One of its key player gives all the details of the story to Open Magazine. Once again the institutions of the Mother of Compassion don't seem to do what she preaches.

1 Rupee = 1 Dollar

Embracing The World/Mata Amritanandamayi Math likes to emphasize on all the money spent to help the people in need. We have noticed that the significant means mainly come from powerfull Western partners. Indeed, Amma gives millions of dollars but it is often on behalf of others NGOs, like Healthcare Charities, Inc for instance. Today we would like to introduce a new financial partner to our readers. It is called Direct Relief.

Financial discrepancies between Indian and American organizations?

Four pdf documents have been uploaded last year on ex-amma yahoo group : the Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax form, issued by the Internal Revenue Service of the US government (IRS), filled by Healthcare Charities, Inc (HCI).

Is there a puppeteer?

We all know that Amma the mother of millions rushed to help the tsunami victims in 2004. She pledged what? 18? 36? Maybe 43? Nevermind. She pledged plenty of millions of dollars to feed people, rebuild houses, grant healthcares... We feel like exclaiming "How Compassionate"! Then we have recently found some pieces of information that make us want to also shout "Such hypocrisy"!

Amma said : "Don't pay your bills"

At least that is what she seems to teach us when we try to translate her actions into words.

Political revenge behind religious pretexts?

The police in Ernakulam has registered a case against a Facebook user called Eldho Kurian R N. He has been caught posting negative comments about Amritanandamayi. The complaint originates from Babu Menon, marketing head of Amrita Institute of Medical Science. Who is Eldho Kurian R N? Why him?

What is AIMS real aim?

AIMS "is a result of Amma’s desire to provide outstanding and affordable medical care to all regardless of one’s ability to pay" says the social work department of Amma's university. So why does this internet user say that "the so called charity hospital at Amritha charges an arm and a leg, unless u can prove u ARE REALLY poor"?

We are "lying skunks" and "lying bastards"

A new article has been published on ammascandal.wordpress.com, the blog which supposedly talks about the scandals regarding Amma. "Supposedly" because in fact this blog debunks all the scandals before praising Amma's work. According to this new post the members of the Amritasatyamayi team are "lying skunks" and "lying bastards". What else could they mean? In fact if anyone is telling lies it is them!

AIMS is not a charitable hospital

This statement is written on this official advertisement page. The "Financial" section states that AIMS primary source of funding revenue is "out of pocket payments". Another article which promotes Amma's work emphasizes that AIMS "is engaged in serious research and affordable treatment to people all over India and abroad". Moreover this statement is also clearly written into an article which is meant to support Amma in relation to a highly publicised event. In 2012, a young girl named Swathi Krishna was in need of liver transplant.
