Misfortune of natural disasters relief effort

Natural disasters are dramatic events, causing losses at every level. Then comes the relief effort, which is so called because that is precisely what it is supposed to provide : relief. But sometimes it bring something else along.

Failed promotion in Spain

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.

Shadows on the nice picture

Our favorite Thugging Saint has finally met Pope Francis. Well, in fact she was just invited along with several other religious leaders from the whole world to sign a vital application form, proving that they are good people who are deeply concerned with the sufferings which plague our societies.

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.

Alleluia!

Fresh news coming from the uppercrust world, the world populated by people of power. Amma is about to meet Pope Francis!

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?

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"!

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.

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.

Her devotees claim that she has no political connection. They say that all kinds of politicians come to see her because they are passionate spiritual seekers :-) looking for spiritual guidance ;-))

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?

Do students have mediawork instead of homework?

Her facebook finally ranks beyond the 1% threshold. More than 1% of the more than 30 millions of people that she supposedly hugged, like her in return in social media. Who are they?

Brainwahsing for dummies

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