Amma "On Trial" In The Helsinki District Court

"Amma is God. She knows everything and protects her devotees."

On August 9th, 2013 Sri Mata Amma Amritanandamayi Devi will teleport into the Helsinki District Court to defend her devotee 'Rishi' Taavi Kassila. Cult leader Amma (real name Sudhamani Idamannel) has indoctrinated her followers to believe that she is responsible for everything that happens to them and is always with them. Tragically this includes the misery which the Amma followers must suffer at Amma's Amritapuri ashram in Kerala, South India and suicides and suspicious deaths.

Amma's closest devotee Gayatri (Gail Tredwell) has testified that Amma used extreme violence including breaking a devotees ribs with a powerful kick. Gayatri's interview with US Rolling Stone magazine was never challenged by Amma's legal department (although her US PR department used unethical tricks in a failed attempt to discredit her).

In India Amma wants to criminally prosecute her critics. She tried to harass ex-policeman Sreeni Pattathanam who wrote a book connecting Amma to many suspicious murders. The book alleges that Amma's brother Subhagan alias Sunilkumar was beaten to death for opposing the cult activities of Amma. Amma and her devotees claim that Subhagan committed suicide.

The frightening implication is that those who oppose Amma will suffer divine retribution. However the true cause is physical not mystical. Amma's devotees assaulted residents of Green Avenue, New Delhi with iron bars because they removed an illegal billboard from their own property which had advertised an expired Amma event. Ironically the billboard promoted the slick concept that Amma is a "Hugging Saint" -- even when Amma's hugs lead to broken ribs and crushed skulls!

The most recent murder connected to Amma was 25-year-old Satnam Singh Mann who allegedly was beaten with a cable wire and had his head smashed against a wall. Amma's devotees deceptively and falsely claimed that Satnam was a Muslim who tried to attack Amma. In fact Satnam was a Hindu resident of Amma Amritpuri ashram who was caught up in religious hysteria as he waited to receive a hug from Amma. Religious hysteria is common among Amma's sleep deprived slave workers known as Ammabots.

Amma herself regularly acts as if she is spirit possessed. Amma's act is to roll in the dust, eyes rolling into the back of her head, making strange noises and frothing at the mouth. This supposedly proves that she was in touch with the God. Later Amma claimed to be God herself.

Corrupt gurus in India frequently escape justice for their crimes. We in the West never hear about these crimes. Foreign language slows down the flow of information. Sreeni Pattathanam's important book "Matha Amritanandamayi: Divya Kathakalum Yatharthyavum (Matha Amritanandamayi: Sacred Stories and Realities)" has never been translated.

For the first time in the West, Amma will be on trial when 'Rishi' Taavi Kassila, her representative for 20 years, stands in Helsinki District Court on August 9th, 2013. Amma devotee 'Rishi' Taavi was ordered by Amma to prosecute his former girlfriend for exposing him (and the Amma Math) to accusations of religious hypocrisy. Rishi Taavi preached celibacy but had paid prostitutes, spread herpes and kept a teenage girlfriend. A woman testified that Kassila had tried to seduce her when she was a teenager with an Amma video in her mother's home.

60 year old Kassila believes that Amma is protecting him – but she never protected his female victims! Kassila can escape justice at any time by flying away to Amma's Indian ashram (where he claims to permanently reside). But on August 9th, 2013 in the Helsinki District Court Taavi Kassila will expose Amma to important media criticism (which she has so far escaped). Kassila's legal action is vindictive and flawed. We predict that Kassila will try to settle out of court rather than place Amma on trial.
