"Sexual assault is part of the healing process"

This story is disgusting. Devotees blinded by denial will call it karma that gross minded people cannot understand. Sane people will call it a crime. It's the story of Adhyatma Adhyatma Amithananda, one of the very first disciples, part of Amma's inner circle. Back in the eighties his name was Chandru.

The Amma Empire

Jacques Albohair, aka Sarvatma / Ganga, who belonged to the initial inner circle of disciples in the early eighties, was Amma's first European representative and translator. His recent publication "The Amma Empire" provides a captivating insider testimony of his fourteen years as an early disciple and of the development of the organisation from the simple "family business" to the "global empire" it has become today.

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?

Covid-19 - Amma needs our help

This year 2020 is very special. The world has been hit by a pandemic. Extreme political decisions have been made to fight its progression. We all know about the famous Covid-19 lockdown that has changed so many lives worldwide. As Mata Amritanandamayi is overwhelmed with compassion, she had to play her part too. But apparently things unfolded in a strange way.

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.

Amma's first biography - Death Of Subhgan

There is only one biography telling Amma's story from childhood to success. It overflows with miracles and wonders. There was a previous version, less magical, unavailable nowadays.

One more death

After Arati in 2009 and Jitendra Sai 2012 another name is hitting the news headlines in India. His name was Sri Harsha, 4th year Electronics and Communication Engineering student at the Amrita School of Engineering in Bengaluru. With two placement processes in progress, he was confident in securing a job after his graduation.

Women disempowerment

For many years Mata Amritanandamayi has claimed to be the champion of women empowerment. Why ruining her PR so openly?

Environmental scandal cover up

Amma says she is an open book with nothing to hide from public eyes. Isn't it easy to make such claim when one is sure that journalists are scared to publish criticism?

Police over food complain

Many customers complain on the internet about the services provided by Amritanandamayi’s educational institutions. Food is often said to be awful at the school’s mess.

Food Fascism

What is "Food Fascism" ? It sounds like a joke but the truth is far from being funny

Speech at RSS ABPS-2017

When we say that Mata Amritanandamayi has strong ties with the Hindu nationalist organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) her devotees argue that we are lying. They say that Amma welcomes everyone in her Ashram, she is not closer to any specific political party. If it is so then can they explain why she has made a speech at an RSS conference?

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.

Professor Tamsin Bradley's point of view

Mata Amritanandamayi is proud to display her "Scientific Hall of Fame". Indeed many Indian and foreign researchers are lauding her international efforts in improving the world. But some of them have a different point of view and she won't ever mention them.

Amma has commando security team

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

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

Angry parents? Arrested parents!

Amrita Vidyalayam schools has been racked by turmoil in June. Unsurprisingly, the reason is money. As one could expect, police came to the rescue. What happened?

Blessing for sale

When Mata Amritanandamayi tours around the world, various traditional ceremonies are performed during each program. Any faithful devotee is eager to partake to such tribute. How to be part of the chosen ones?

Murder is forgivable

Some people are currently hitting the newspapers headline because they spread violence in the world in the name of God. Maybe it's high time that we realized that all religions can potentially lead to the same kind of extremes.
