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.

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

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.

Circling down the drain?

Mata Amritanandamayi is always looking forward to help in any way. In a great action of compassion she has decided to give several millions of dollars to the Indian governement. What for?

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.

Amrita Holidays Private Limited

We keep on saying that Amma is just a puppet handled by vested interests. She is not educated, she doesn't speak any foreign language so it must be very easy to fool her. You can check for yourself. Go on the internet. Type "Amrita" followed by any word. If you are lucky, you will find something interesting.

Where to find the FCRA now?

If you have clicked on the links provided in our various articles then you have noticed that they display an error page instead of the FCRA for Mata Amritanandamayi Math. All direct links seem to be dead.

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).

FCRA 2013 - 2014 = 0.69!

Usually the New Year is the moment when we make good resolutions and promise to do our best to respect our decision. These kind of moments can be life changing. When we saw the new FCRA for 2013-2014, we thought that such miracle had happened in Embracing The World.

Illegal donation

A strange Indian campaign raised our attention recently. It is called the "Anti Donation Campaign". What is it? Are Indian citizens fed up with charities?

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"!

Is Home Ministry part of the evil plot against Amma®?

We debate a lot about the now famous FCRA. Their is something weird in the way that Amma® declares her foreign incomes and their use. But in face of our nasty attacks, she claims that her account books are neat and clean.

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.

Fanciful FCRA

Some of our posts deal with the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). Each year Indian NGOs must declare to the government the funds that they got from foreign countries. Being strongly connected to Western countries, the M.A. Math cannot escape the rule. The accounts given by Amritapuri are available online.
Some devotees of the "Thugging Saint" pretend that we are misunderstanding the numbers, so let's take a closer look at them.

Compassionate schools

Amritanadamayi has build 49 Amrita Vidyayalam schools and 9 Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham so far. How does her compassion come in action inside her blessed institutions?

Brainwahsing for dummies

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

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.

Not an Open Book
