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.

Amma has commando security team

Can you imagine Amma giving darshan with heavily armed soldiers standing right behind her chair?

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.

French psychoanalysis for downloading

The french psychiatrist and spiritual seeker Jacques Vigne has scrutinized the book "Holly Hell" by Gail Tredwell as well as Sudhamani Idamanel's personal history, in order to have a better understanding of the current issues.

Amma!!! Your beloved daughter apologizes!

A new letter is available online to support the "Mother of Compassion". Vian charbonneau, who claims to be the moderator of the ex-amma yahoo group, has posted a long confession to say how sorry she was for having said awfull things about Amritanandamayi. What actually happened?

Lies lies lies

Amritanandamayi's reputation has spread thanks to rumors and lies about her supposedly abilities. It brings about a strange paradox.

Faith abuse is dangerous

Faith can move mountains. Beware not to be crushed when they fall back to the ground.

Global holiness

“Amma needs no propaganda. Does the ever-radiant Truth need any propaganda?". Yet, we kindly ask you to look at her media review and to be impressed by her worldwide connections. This could be the summary of Amritapuri's media page : denying propaganda while making a lot of it. Striking detail : there is not a single indian media on this page, almost only western ones. Why? The beginning of the article is also striking :

"When Amma first manifested her mission of Love in the mid ’70s, it was not advertised in the press, and no one wrote a story about it afterwards for the daily news. Still, hundreds came that day, and thousands kept coming."

This is not true.

Superhuman?

Amritanandamayi is said to have done so many things. Her achievements appears superhuman. Her carrier is managed by High Ground Consulting which claims that "hundreds of exceptional news stories have been generated, locally, nationally and internationally". Generated? What does it mean? Is it possible that some of the stories have been invented for her to look more impressive than she actually is? It is strange to see that her story is actually filled with contradictions.

The real power of the devotees

According to the official statements, Amma has hugged more than 30 million of spiritual seekers worldwide in 30 years. It ensues that one can feel uncomfortable to criticize such a charismatic international personality : "If 30 million of people love her worldwide, how come that I don't?".
However her devotees come to get darshan every year. In western countries, they even get darshan at least twice per year : one time during the normal program and one time during the devi bhava night. When they travel to India they get more darshan. She may have given her hug 30 millions of times but to how many people?

What happened in 1983?

Althrough our inquiry about Mata Amritanandamayi, we have seen the same allegation several times : "Amritananda Mayi went underground in 1983 when the police confronted about 26 women who claimed to be possessed by gods and goddesses."

Holy Hell - What life was like for Amma's personal attendant of 20 years!

Amma's former personal attendant of 20 years Gail (Gayatri) Tredwell published her autobiography of her life with Amma entitled "Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion and Pure Madness" in October 2013.

This book has sent shockwaves around the Amma community as Tredwell reveals what REALLY went on behind closed doors. She reveals:
