Amma Violence And Corruption In Rolling Stone Magazine 2012

Expose of the physical violence and financial corruption of Amma Amritanandamayi in "The Big Squeeze: The Guru Who Turns Hugs Into Gold" by David Amsden for Rolling Stone magazine [August 16, 2012. Issue 1163]. Amma's first, closest Western devotee, Gayatri who was later renamed Swamini Amritaprana after be admitted into Amma's inner circle describes beating by Amma upon herself and others. Amma siphoned off money and gold to her six siblings and parents allowing them to obtain luxury palatial houses. Amma's current devotees deny the allegations but their denials are suspicious as we have seen with the Amma Rishi Taavi Kassila sex scandal cover-up involving fake celibacy, genital herpes and attempted seduction of minors.

Gayatri (Swamini Amritaprana), who was with Amma for 20 years, smuggled out under a blanket in 1999, kept silent until 2012, is writing a book currently titled  “For The Love of God: A Memoir Of Faith, Devotion And Pure Madness”.

Update 8/23/2012:  "The Big Squeeze: The Guru Who Turns Hugs Into Gold" is free for online readers.
