"Hugging Saint" Amma's Lyings, Beatings and Cheatings

On stage Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma) is presented a saint who smilingly receives hugs and dispenses candies and flower petals. Off-stage Sudhamani Idamannel (Amma) is a brooding petulant dictator who terrorizes who her gullible aides with unpredictable bone-breaking physical attacks.

When you add up all of the wrong and criminal acts associated with Amma, you will see not a saint but a malevolent boss whose gang is involved in crime, lying, cheating and cover-ups at every turn.

Amma monk, Taavi Kassila's inexcusable sexual excesses, which violated several mothers' trusts, shocked teenage girls by attempted seductions and gave at least one cheated partner incurable genital herpes was not the first scandal from which Amma irresponsibly tried to distance herself from the Kassila sex expose.

Nor is Satnam Singh Mann's mysterious murder the only death associated with Amma's ashram to be shrouded in contradictions. It is not the only case of a beating given for trying to get Amma's hug.

Pavithran was also beaten, as reported in 'Indian Currents, Issue 36, September 04, 2005'. "Those who expressed anguish and contacted the Ashram following the attack included former Prime Minister A. B. Vajpayee, BJP President L. K. Advani, and former Union Minister O. Rajagopal, who himself is a close devotee of the Amma. Amma's ashram falsely claimed to not know Pavithran, even though he had lived at Mata Amritanandamayi ashram as did Satnam Singh Mann (it has been reported). The same outrageous denial was made of Taavi Kassila, another Amma ashram resident.

Mental illness seems to be the alleged cause of problems at Amma's ashram, but is Amma, who beats her devotees to blame? "Even Mata Amrithanandamayi had admitted that many of her devotees and Ashram inmates are mentally deranged persons."

There was also the suspicious death of a French lady, Caroline Abitbole, within the Ashram premises, another Amma controversy which has been covered up, the webpages removed.

A whole community were beaten with iron bars by a 50 man gang of Amma goons because they no longer wanted an Amma billboard taking up their space (after Amma's tour had left) in "Green Avenue" New Delhi. Amma did nothing to help the residents. http://atman.net/guruphiliac/ammarampage.pdf

Amma got Kerala State Government to criminally prosecute Sreeni Pattathanam, for writing "Matha Amritanandamayi: Sacred Stories and Realities" which claimed that all the miracles of Amritanandamayi are bogus, and that there have been many suspicious deaths in and around her ashram, which need police investigation. International pressure stopped the legal harassment.

Amma's huge wealth gives her the ability to corrupt public officials, several of whom find it beneficial to be her devotees.

Amma's ashram devotees live in squalid conditions, sleep only a few hours per night and slave for free while Amma secretly gives obscene amounts of gold and money to her relatives so that each can live in their own palace. Amma's family live like royalty and are both feared and respected. Amma has absolute power.

Amma could be responsible for the neurotic, cruel behavior and lying of her devotees. Amma kicked her masseuse for no reason, cracking her ribs. Amma has slapped, beaten, scratched, pulled hair and throttled her devotees for insignificant and made up offenses, such as not cooking rice to her liking.

Just before Amma's closest and oldest Western devotee, Gayatri, revealed the true horror of life with Amma, in Rolling Stone magazine, another Amma cover up was being planned. Amma's devotees, including high representative Elizabeth Sidon, wife of Rob Sidon, the former Disney employee who now heads up Amma's PR team infiltrated Ex-Amma to destroy Gail Tredwell's (Gayatri's) reputation. Elizabeth Sidon, who also calls herself "Elizabeth Daniels" - deleted "Sidon" from her profile when she realized that she had been caught red-handed.

Rob Sidon, Amma PR man, is apparently the editor-in-chief of a magazine called "Common Ground," and "Elizabeth Daniels" is listed as a staff member on the magazine's staff listing.

Robert Sidon lists the dubious distinction in his online resume of "Achieved world-class news coverage for "Amma", (a rare humanitarian compared to Gandhi and Mother Teresa) in prestige media internationally." Robert Sidon might also add that he is supporting the biggest con of the century for which he will go to hell for helping to cover up the truth. Amma is no saint, no humanitarian. Amma cares nothing for the truth nor her devotees. If the victims could be heard above the professional PR noise then Rob Sidon would slink away in shame from the public gaze just like his wife "Elizabeth Daniels" did.

At this time, Amma's Rishi Taavi Kassila has started a police investigation against one former sexual partner, claiming that he does not have genital herpes. In return, Kassila will be prosecuted for causing bodily harm for giving genital herpes. One would think that an Amma devotee would be more kind - but then again we know that will never happen.

Before she dies, Amma who lives on painkillers and wears incontinence pants, will have left a trail of misery in her wake.

Amma takes $100,000 rent from some individual devotees. They get no amenities and their tiny room is rented out when they are not there. The basic ashram food is cheap and low nutrition.

When the devotee gets sick they are not cared for by Amma or her AIMS hospital but are sent home where they cannot pay for hospitalization.

When they give their life to Amma, she gives nothing back and sucks all their life and money, leaving them to die.

Amma's inner circle get fatter and fatter but the poor devotee looks starved and exhausted.

Amma's AIMS hospital is accused of being the biggest illegal drug tester (for profit) in Kerala where 100 people have died. Accusations of illegal organ removal for organ transplant business.

What you write is very sensational and kind of nutty.

I know Elizabeth and Rob. They live about 5 miles from me. Elizabeth is not a "high representative." She's keeps her maiden name as many women do in the West. It has nothing to do with Amma.

I was at Amritapuri when the French lady committed suicide. It was very sad and unfortunate. She was a very disturbed individual. It was a suicide--she jumped and broke her neck.

I was at Amritpuri for 5 years. I never heard of Rishi Taavi Kassila. By Googling, looks like he is from Finland. There are ten or hundreds of thousands of people who call themselves devotees and they will be a complete range of people.

I was there in California the night Gayatri ran away. She left in someone's car, and had her sister call the ashram a day or two later letting everyone know she was OK but that she needed to leave.

What you write is very sensational and not grounded in fact.

I was at Amritapuri for 5 years. I never heard of Tavi Kasilla. He is not a monk. Amma has some monks in orange and yellow, and she hasn't initiated any new ones for many years. I think the last batch was 1997. By Googling it looks like he is from Finland. Tens or hundreds of thousands of people around the world call themselves devotees and they are of every sort of person and character.

I know Elizabeth--she goes by her maiden name as many Western women do. It has nothing to do with Amma. She is not a high representative.

Re: Satnam Singh Mann
Isn't he the guy who recently made a death threat against Amma? Pavithran wanted to stab Amma with a long knife and plunged it into someone's back instead. I don't know any more details. But I was there the night of P's attack.

I was there the night Gayatri ran away. Someone drove her in a car. People were sad she left. She had her sister call a day or two later and left a message said that Gail was OK and in a safe place, sorry if she had hurt anyone by her actions but that she needed to leave. Her relationship with Amma was very complex.

'I don't need faith, I have experience'. Joseph Campbell.
I have experienced so many miracles from Amma.
A few years ago, a client of mine walked into my salon with a pale, shocked, heart broken expression on her face. She is a psycology teacher and non religious. In her hand was a ultrasound picture of the 12 week old fetus in her womb. With tear swollen eyes and a choked voice she said "can your Amma help me?" Her baby was so deformed that the specialists said he would soon die. Her 9 year old son was born with severe cleft palate and 3 pregnancies ended at 5 months along. She was devastated. I told her to write her prayer on the back of the photo and that I would take it to Amma. She wrote ' Dear Amma please bless the health of my son'. I took the photo to the retreat in Seattle that weekend and 4 times took it up to Amma when I was getting hugged. Each time, Amma lovingly gazed at the picture, touched it to her heart, forehead and top of her head and then bowed all the way down to it, then she kissed it and handed it back to me. I gave the photo to the woman the following monday and said " Your baby has been blessed". One month later, she went for another ultrasound and to the SHOCK of the specialists, her son was perfectly healthy. No deformity. They said it was not possible. Forrest was born 10 lbs and radiantly strong and healthy. She brought him to the salon, he reached out to touch a large photo of Amma. I could fill 100 pages with these Amma miracles.

Rishi Taavi Kassila is not a visitor to Amma Ashram, by his own words he is a resident. Whether you knew him or not during your time at the ashram madhouse is irrelevant. Kassila is known by Amma and her inner circle.

Satnam did not make a death threat against Amma but you are happy to suggest it. How would you like "Amma, isn't she the woman responsible for Satnam's death?" Every Amma follower much blame her.

Elizabeth Sidon tried to attack Gayatri because Gayatri reveals facts about Amma which her Amma PR husband Rob would like to hide because it damages his ridiculous Hugging Saint appellation.

Read on Ex-Amma

"Gayatri was one of the kindest devotees I met. She showed me kindness and concern when I took ill, brought me water, inquired after me. Other insiders and devotees treated me like a dirty rag. There were other incidents where she showed herself to be a very evolved person. As an Ammabot I assumed this was because of her involvement with the guru gal who likes called Holy Mother of the Universe, amongst her many other honorifics.

Since Amma immediately found an Australian attendant who looks very much like Gayatri, many casual devotees did not even register that she was gone! It was a topic that few wished to discuss and if they did it was Gayatri's fault, of course."

Today indian news papers are re[porting a cruel rape of two sadhwis by the sharam head and his associates in Bihar. This happens across india. We are being led to a dark age.

If u believe in yourself, then u need not search for Godmen. They are all after wealth from rich white devotees. they throw some peanuts to the poor in the name of charity. They live in absolute luxury without any hard work. The real spiritual person never use so much luxury. Example is Mother teressa. She used to live in dirty streets of Calcutta and hug poor and leprosy patients. She never run after fame and channels. But fame came after her. The indian channel conducted a survey " Ten most influential people in india after Gandhi". The only spiritual person selected by we indian is Mother teressa not any wealth and fame hungry god men or god women

If AMMA has so much power and miracle as some devotees say, why did she mistook a mentally ill boy as terrorist? Answer this simple question i will believe her. The Mata's henchmen beaten the staff at her hospital for asking for increase in their salary. ( you can see the youtube video) Is it the miracle. Her Hospital is accused in the illegal drug test that killed many poor patients. Someone defended the MATA by saying that she need not held accountable for the crime as she might not known theese things happening at her firms. My simple answer is she has no miracle or divine power. She should leave these firms as these firms are in controversy. Is it part of miracle? If she has so much power, why she need to run a hospital? she can make things happen with her miracle. Why could not she solve the death mystery linked to her ashram? Is it part of miracle????

We in kerala know her truth. dont fool us. She is acting like GOD making people fall at her feet. What human value she is teaching? Licking someone else's feet is degrading human self respect.

Why she is not hugging destitute and leprosy patients like Mother Teressa??????

Why cant she go to the real poor people rather than spend her time in luxury and five star and plaace?????


In here there is story. One man in the sleep shouted "AMMA AMMA" the mother went and wake him up and asked what is matter son? He said Thalle, ( Slang not respectful for AMMA). i did not call u. MATA amritanadamayi has given him DARSHAN in sleep. He has no respect for his own mother but for someone who is not his mother. Fake faith.

So what miracle AMMA did to this poor soul. She has no power to stop a suicide happened in her abode. What miracle u r talking about. She cannot see what mental agony her beloved Sons and daughter going through. Still claim about miracle. I pity all miracle seekers. its all paid agents who spread miracles. If she had power , she would have known the french lady is in distress and helped her. Should someone travel so much and take so much trouble to visit the MATA to commit suicide. Or she could have done the same in Paris??????

Your MATA could not prevent a suicide, what miracle u r spreading. So pls take ur wares and go somewhere else.

Most people don't seem to understand the state of a Mahatma. They have control over their own mind, which normal people do not have.The power of maya cannot hold them. It is not their path to purposely perform miracles and save people from their inherited destiny - but they are a catalyst for miracles to happen sometimes in the right climatic conditions. They reflect our own nature back to us - so we can see what needs to be cleansed.
They are the true jewels of this world, and will still do their duty to try to inspire us to meet our destiny with grace, if we are strong enough for that. No matter how much mud you throw at them, they will go on loving your pure spirit, lying hidden deep inside.
Nothing stops Amma from fulfilling her destiny, to love, but are we truly trying to fulfill our own?

There have been many deaths in AIMS due to the irresponsibility of physicians. I personally know three. The doctors are ruthless.Little wonder. They are addressed 'dog' by amma's cronies. This mutt is a crime against God and man.
