Big Swami Balu Amritasvarupanada's fraudulent Amma charities have evaded scrutiny by claiming to be a church thereby not being required to file an annual return with the IRS. Amma unlike other nonprofits organizations takes full advantage of the opportunity to not declare where the money goes. Amma has over $300,000,000 sitting in bank accounts serving no useful purpose. Amma's account books have never been opened to investigators in any country.
Sudhamani Idamannel aka Mata Amma Amritanandamayi uses donated funds to harass whistleblowers and striking nurses at her fraudulent Amma AIMS hospital. Amma has hired the expensive services of law firm Kelley Drye & Warren LLP in an attempt to remove our right of free speech, remove our privacy and make us vulnerable to surveillance by Amma's violent goon squads.

Amma's sources of foreign cash
In June 2007, Shantanu Guha Ray wrote on Tehelka weekly that Amritanandamayi Math, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Baba Ramdas, and other NGOs and religious organisations had large annual turnover of INR crores.[27] In June 2007, novelist Paul Zacharia wrote on Tehelka that Amritanandamayi goes scotfree from scrutinies on money with foreign strings.[28]
In May 2008, the president of Kerala Yukthivadi Sangham, U. Kalanathan urged the state government to conduct an inquiry into Amritanandamayi's assets. He said the sources of the her income and its utilization should be investigated.[29]
In June 2008, writer Sukumar Azhikode demanded the state government to probe the source of foreign aid received by her organization. He said Amritanandamayi was being used as an instrument by vested interests around her. He accused that her sources of income are suspicious.[30]

63% Amma Donations Diverted Into Foreign Deposit Bank Accounts
OVER 62% OF AMMA'S WESTERNER DONATIONS SITTING IN FOREIGN BANKS. ONLY 9.2% GOING FOR HUMANITARIAN AID
The following report has been posted to the Ammachi Real Free Speech Zone group - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/
And a spreadsheet attached to it in the Files section. This site is publicly accessible.
An extract from that report:
"As you can see, 62.6% of foreign contributions were not utilized. I think it is safe to assume that these contributions were added to the Math's bank accounts. This would be consistent with bank foreign interest income increasing 47.4% from 97550090 Rs in 2006-07 to 143814124 Rs in 2011-12, despite a drop in bank CD interest rates of more than 50% then.
The next largest category is hospitals/clinics, with 17.8% of contributions. These are profit generating. (The governments of India and Kerala pay for the small amount of care given to the poor.) Following this are schools/colleges and student housing with 10.5% of contributions. These are also profit- generating, rather than humanitarian enterprises.
Despite the heavy PR about Amma's relief efforts, natural calamity relief utilized only 3.6% of foreign contributions over these six years. This leaves 5.5% of foreign contributions for all of Amma's other "Embracing the World" projects.
I wonder how many devotees would be happy to learn that only 9.2% of their contributions went toward Amma's humanitarian work, 28.3% went toward investments in profit making enterprises, and 62.8% was diverted into foreign deposit bank accounts. "

Fraud Alert - Amma Has Over $300,000,000 In Foreign Banks!
"Hug of Death" cult leader Amma Amritanandamayi is swindling and damaging the poor through her AIMS Hospital and defrauding her gullible neglected devotees. Determined investigators are uncovering a massive fraud!
Join Ex-Amma to get the latest news.
The following post was just made to another discussion group. It confirms that Amma now has over US $300 million parked in foreign bank accounts. Possibly even more than the $342 million calculated, as these are the 2012 figures!!
"The 2011-12 foreign contribution report (from 4/1/2011 through
3/31/2012) for the Mata Amritanandamayi Math is up now on the FCRA
website:
http://fcraonline.nic.in/fc3_verify.aspx?RCN=052930183R&by=2011-2012
The amount of foreign contributions during this period was 1,191,596,739
Rs. Using the average exchange rate during this period of 48 Rs to 1
US$, this is $24.8 million. Around three-quarters of this was for
"Construction/Running of hospital/dispensary/clinic". After reading up
on the subject, my understanding is that the state of Kerala pays for
care given by Amma's district medical care facilities, while the
government of India pays for the small amount of care given to the poor
at AIMS. Therefore, most of these funds were likely used to purchase
expensive medical equipment or for the construction of more commercial
hospital buildings and infrastructure.
Toward the end of the institutional donor list, bank interest is once
again the largest item. It is 205,169,556 Rs, or $4.27 million for this
year! Bank interest for 2006-7 was $2.17 million (at 45 Rs to 1$ then).
So the amount of bank interest has almost doubled during this five year
period, and the amount on deposits in banks has more than doubled, given
that interest rates have fallen.
I researched the best annual interest rates being paid on bank deposits
these days. For U.S. dollar accounts, it is 1.05%. For euros, it is 1.2%
in Germany and 1.6% in the UK. Dividing the $4.27 million of foreign
interest income by a representative 1.25% rate of interest, gives an
amount on deposit in banks of $342 million!
Can anyone tell me why Amma, who is supposed to be providing so much
humanitarian aid and help to the poor, needs to keep over $300 million
in bank accounts?"

Amma Rishi Taavi Kassila Legal Case Is Flawed
Taavi Kassila's legal case is flawed. This does not matter to Taavi Kassila. Kassila is committed to pursue legal action even if it fails because cult leader Amma Amritanandamayi has ordered it. Amma Amritanandamayi claims to be God is simply and some Indian government officials believe it. Amma cannot imagine that she will be defeated in any court anywhere in the world. Unfortunately for Sudhamani Idamannel (Amma's real name), the world does not believe that Amma is God - but this fact is inconceivable to the megalomaniac Amma Amritanandamayi.
Taavi Kassila wants to make two contradictory arguments in his legal persecution case: defamation and privacy violation.
For Taavi Kassila to argue that his privacy has been violated he will have to admit that what has been alleged about him is true. If he admits what has been alleged is true then he cannot argue libel since he has admitted that the statements are true.
Taavi Kassila is a public figure. He preaches celibacy to the media. Exposing 'Rishi' Taavi Kassila and Amma Amritanandamayi as religious frauds is a public service and not a privacy issue. Any citizen may expose "the natural defects of a public figure".
Taavi Kassila has strategically taken a herpes test in India (where Amma's hospital is accused of fraud) but by so doing has unknowingly waived any claim to medical privacy (because he can now be accussed of fraud). The herpes test result will be positive only if the herpes virus moves from a dormant to active state. A negative result does not prove the absence of herpes. The fact is that Kassila's girlfriend's medical records will show that she developed herpes only with 'Rishi' Taavi Kassila.
To avoid public ridicule and ruining his own libel prosecution case, Taavi Kassila does not want to publicly admit that:
Any court will have difficulty believing Taavi Kassila because he has a reputation of being a compulsive liar. Kassila lied to his ex-girlfriend, the media, Amma Center Finland, Amma and the public. Amma.fi covered up Kassila's behavior by deleting over 35 webpages which described Kassila's activities as their representative.
Taavi Kassila is embarrassed by witness testimony about his herpes-spreading teenage girls seducing secret lifestyle. He is worried that statements he made to the media will show him to be a hypocrite. The evidence is that just before the court date Taavi Kassila media articles were suspiciously removed from their webpages. Kassila is frightened that his nasty verbal attacks upon critics will be used in evidence against him, he therefore had a two year old Taavi Kassila forum discussion suddenly deleted to avoid weakening his legal case.
Kassila has financial motivations to lie.
Kassila made claims to an audience, which he was trying to recruit to a controversial colostrum MLM business, that he earns $9,250 per week from the pyramid selling scheme. The scam went bust after the mysterious death of the owner.
Kassila makes money from his association with Amma through books, courses and India tours. Of course he wants us to believe that Amma is good but he hides the violent nature of Amma and her prison-like Amritapuri ashram. Amma's devotees believe that Amma is God and must be blindly obeyed. The devotees falsely promote Amma as humanitarian and saint. None of these are true because Amma and her devotees are associated with violence, murder and fraud. 'Rishi' Taavi Kassila is about to be revealed as fraudster too. Amma is being exposed in the media and on the internet, as they do Taavi Kassila's reputation will suffer. Kassila has already ruined his reputation by pursuing teenage girls in his yoga classes, by taking an unnatrual interest in their bodies and asking them to 'friend' him on Facebook.
When Taavi Kassila realizes that his legal case will fail he may try to settle out of court by paying his former girlfriend for her court costs. The costs will be nothing compared to how much Amma makes in a single minute. Amma is India's biggest earner in her sector of foreign revenue for India.
Taavi Kassila has never apologized for his actions.

- he wants sex with young women but not mature women
- he is a religious hypocrite and celibacy preacher
- his guru Amma ordered him to initiate a frivolous legal case
- he tried to seduce a teenage girl with an Amma video when visiting her mother's home

Amma AIMS Hospital Fraud
"A charitable hospital must set aside a certain percentage of its free hospital
beds for care to the poor. AIMS did not do this, so was not a charitable
hospital per this requirement. Their fraudulent action against the Government of
India was because AIMS gave the government an Irrevocable Undertaking that treatment
at AIMS would be free in order to get a complete waiver of customs duty for all
imported medical items under the Indo-US Trade Agreement."
