Smothering Kerala's Environment

During the celebration of her 66th birthday in September 2019 in Amritapuri, Mata Amritanandamayi addressed her audience with a major subject. Ecology is a core value to Embracing The World.

She cleans up the world but not her own backyard

Following the publication of Holy Hell by Gail Tredwell anger was unleashed, not just online. Some critics have been assaulted by Mata Amritanandamayi's devotees. Swami Sandeepananda Giri is one of the victims.

Showing off with RSS

It has been a while now since ex-devotees of Amma claim that she has strong ties with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the nationalist para-military party of India. Her devotees always deny. Yet...

Misfortune of natural disasters relief effort

Natural disasters are dramatic events, causing losses at every level. Then comes the relief effort, which is so called because that is precisely what it is supposed to provide : relief. But sometimes it bring something else along.

Failed promotion in Spain

The Mexican writer, journalist and photograph Mauricio-José Schwarz has talked to Sanal Edamaruku two years ago. The famous Indian rationalist explained him a few things about Amma. Some of the revelations are surprising.

Shadows on the nice picture

Our favorite Thugging Saint has finally met Pope Francis. Well, in fact she was just invited along with several other religious leaders from the whole world to sign a vital application form, proving that they are good people who are deeply concerned with the sufferings which plague our societies.

The genesis of the end-slavery religious summit

Amma has signed the contract. She will commit to help ending slavery by 2020. By the way who had the idea of organizing such a summit? Surprisingly, religion had nothing to do with it, at least at the begining.

Alleluia!

Fresh news coming from the uppercrust world, the world populated by people of power. Amma is about to meet Pope Francis!

Amma has nothing to do with AmritaTV, yet...

Here is one more episode from our favorite series namely Amrita Enterprise Private Limited aka AEPL. Amma keep on claiming that this TV channel is nothing but a devotee initiative. AEPL says exactly the same. This company is supposed to have nothing in common with the "Thugging Saint". Then we should tell the Indian journalists because it seems like they didn't get the message clearly.

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.

Why is she awarded by RSS?

Her devotees claim that she has no political connection. They say that all kinds of politicians come to see her because they are passionate spiritual seekers :-) looking for spiritual guidance ;-))

Do students have mediawork instead of homework?

Her facebook finally ranks beyond the 1% threshold. More than 1% of the more than 30 millions of people that she supposedly hugged, like her in return in social media. Who are they?

Brainwahsing for dummies

Cults often use brainwashing to manipulate their devotees. Is the M.A. Math a mind-controlling cult?

Vain support and vain silence?

The Amritanandamayi issue bursted just a few month before the Indian general election of 2014. The left parties leaders chose to remain silent, supposedly by fear of the devotees wrath which could deprive them from precious votes. The right parties used this controversy to demonstrate their concern for Hinduism, hoping to seduce her devotees and get their votes. Silence competed against Support. And the winner is...?

AEPL is a spiritual octopus

Here comes a new episode in the AEPL saga. Our favorite business sitcom began when we put online a post dealing with the blur connections between Amrita Enterprise Private Limited and the Mata Amritanandamayi Math.

Begging for e-love

The previous post showed how Amritanandamayi supposedly took an abandonned facebook page originally created in 2009, had it redisigned and launched on March 27 2014 pretending it was a new facebook page. It's almost heartbeaking to see the Embodiment of Love begging to be Liked on the internet.

E-lie inspires real violence

Through modern trends our lives become more and more driven by electronic devices and concepts. You already know the e-mail, e-learning, e-commerce, e-signature, e-cigarette, e-ticket and e-book? Then today discover the e-lie motivated by e-reputation.

Keep it together in the family

After the Sangh Parivar, it is up to the family to support Amma®. What they say don't necessarily match what has been said so far.

White asset

The homepage of the blog Letter To The Mother has become quite peculiar recently. Plenty of foreigners flock to the blog in order to testify about Amritanandamayi's greatness and Gail Tredwell's ugliness.

Sangh Parivar support denied

Amritanandamayi's foreign devotees don't want to accept that she has strong political support.
