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.

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.

Amma has commando security team

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

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.

For immediate release in the USA

The Facebook page Guruphiliac which aims at warning against the many spiritual fraudsters of this modern world has published a media release to expose Amritanandamayi's controversial issue. Feel free to forward it to your local media outlet as her 2014 US tour seems to be less glorious than the ones that she used to make before. Here is a full copy of this release :

Lies lies lies

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

Wikipedia mediation

Amritanandamayi's devotees seem to have always be striving to keep her image stainless. Today, the war is on Wikipedia.

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.

Poor answer from the Swiss Amma center

Following the publication of an article about Gail Tredwell's book in the Swiss newspaper Tages Anzeiger, the Swiss Amma Center added a reply on its website. Unsurprisingly, they say that it's all false. What they say to support Amma cannot be taken seriously. The quotes are based on Google's automatic translation.

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.

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."

Stainless mother of communication

Googling her name invariably displays a long list of websites praising her love and compassion in action. It surely means that Amma spends all her time showering her grace over humanity, thus the whole world loves her. In fact the reality is not so magical. She has faced opposition since the very begining, but the critics are erased as they rise.

What really inspires Amma's devotees?

A phrase says : "one recognizes a tree by its fruits". Amma is a spiritual leader. Where does she leads the people? This ironic post from an Amrita TV viewer is likely to raise the question in our mind. Let's have a look at some of her devotees to have an idea of the kind of light that she brings to the world.
