"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.

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.

Women disempowerment

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

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?

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.

Unoticed ashram answer to Holy Hell

After the release of Gail Tredwell's book, many media commented the various reactions. The article from India Today entitled Embraced By Scandal is slightly different from the others.

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.

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.

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...

Another french analysis

Another spiritual seeker whishes to share his analysis about Amma with our readers. His name is Rodolphe Milliat. He is a French yoga teacher, a former therapist and a disciple of Sri Saccidananda Yogi.

Children trade?

The charities related to adults are broadly advertised but Amma scarcely talks in detail about the way she takes care of the children. Her organization runs an orphanage. What good is she doing to the world thanks to that? We don't know much about it so we can only rely on the word of mouth from bloggers and online commenters.

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.

Join us to end modern slavery!

For once, we feel like applauding the Sri Mata Amritanandamayi. Indeed, World Faith Leaders have Declared Their Commitment Towards the Eradication of Modern Slavery by 2020. Her Holiness Mata Amritanandamayi will join in this beautiful project in the name the Hindu religion.

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.

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?

Brainwahsing for dummies

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

Profile of a perfect faithful devotee

People who have never been involved in a cult ofen ask the same question : "How could you join in such a delusional group?". It is true that it requires some peculiar mindsets to give up on common sense and embrace nonsensical beliefs. It is very hard to explain but thanks to Vian Charbonneau's letter to the mother, we can illustrate at least one of the many profiles of the perfect "faithful devotee".

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?

I won't come but vote for me (pls)!

Postponed? Canceled? No program was held so far in Malaysia and Singapore. But the "Mother of Compassion" knows how to comfort her beloved children.
