"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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Go and kill for Peace and Love

This kind of event is new. It has never been done before in Amrita campus. What is it? It's called AFF...

2011 nurse Strike, the whole story

Our team has recently found an article dealing with the 2011 nurse strike that spread throughout India. One of its key player gives all the details of the story to Open Magazine. Once again the institutions of the Mother of Compassion don't seem to do what she preaches.

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.

Proud to be an Indian?

If you are between 15 and 30 years old, if in addition you are proud to be an Indian then Amritanandamayi has something special for you.

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?

Is rape sometimes right?

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Babulal Gaur, who is from BJP and part of the brand new Indian goverment, has raised a violent controversy with his scandalous statement about rape : "Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong"!

Thank you violence

A recent rumor says that "the issue around Mata Amritanandamayi had almost died down". How come? Who or what to thank for that?
