Amma and Balu offered Gail an Ashram after she escaped

After Gail Tredwell escaped from Amma, the ashram and particularly Big Swami Balu (who had repeatedly raped her) promised her that she could run an ashram in Australia if would sign a gag order which prevented her from telling the truth.

Amma's organization had no complaints about Gail until she exposed Amma's violence, fraud, fake celibacy and support of rape. Amma's recent sites which smear Gail are fakes and are being exposed.

For Christmas send your friends a copy of Gail's book "Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness", 

Google Alerts - The Secret Ammabot PR Tool

Sleeping only 2 hours per night, Amma's unpaid army of zombies known as Ammabots, have been working to the point of death to fulfill Scary Momma's unending need for fame, power and yet more victims. Every day the Ammabots toil to send thousands of press releases to the media in every country. Falsely they claim that their psychopathic boss is a saint and a humanitarian. Most Amma press releases are ignored but 0.001% are copied by lazy journalists when there is no time to find real news.



Using Google Alerts on their smartphones, Amma's zombie army can respond to any story about Amma in the world. When the story is positive they send praise; when the story is negative they send rage.



Gail Tredwell 's book "Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness" has no Ammabot army or paid professional PR team to give it the necessary exposure. If you are reading this then you must be outraged that a psychopath who abuses her "children" and allows her head Swami (Balu) to rape the Amma nuns is allowed to go free without investigation or monitoring.



Amma and her Ammabot party will eventually fall. Gail Tredwell and other former long time Amma devotees are finding the courage to speak out. Even if they are threatened with murder they will still continue. You are not powerless. You can use the same tools as the Ammabots: online media and Google Alerts.



Use Google Alerts to send you daily email updates about Amma, Gail Tredwell and Big Swami Balu. You can then post the truth about Amma to the world's media and forums.

PR for "Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness"

Real readers, real reviews and real Amma followers have given Gail Tredwell's book a majority 5 star review. Gails was formerly Gayatri Swamini Amritaprana, much loved by the Amritapuri ashram residents for her loyal service to Amma. Gail who was beaten by Amma and raped by Big Swami Balu for twenty years never complained because she believed Amma was the Goddess.



Amma, incensed that Gail has gained some publicity has tasked her full-time PR department which include PR professionals such as Rob Sidon, formerly of Disney and owner of Higher Ground, to trash the book with one star review on Amazon. Sidon's wife using her maiden name Anne Elizabeth Daniels posted a two star review. None of the Ammabot reviews address the serious incidents that caused Gail to leave Amma's psychotic, spiteful service.

Gail's book is not well known. Unlike Ammachi she does not have millions to spend on publicity or a full-time army of Ammabots who mindlessly spam everywhere possible. Gail was left penniless by Amma who refused to return Gail's possession including personal diaries. Eventually Amma sent Gail a paltry $15,000 for 20 years of backbreaking servitude. Ammabots lie about the amount. We cannot believe their claims that Amma donates millions when they never provide proof since Amma hides her finances from the public.



Gail is like a David going up against the might of a multi-national Goliath. Amma Inc. want to crush Gail and her book but you can protect the right of free speech.



Give publicity to "Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness".



Holy Hell: The Inside Story of Amma, The Hugging Saint Revealed in New Book by former Personal Assistant

Malicious Ammabot Posts Banned by Amazon

Amma has billions of dollars, several professional PR teams and thousands of blind-faith zombies, Ammabots, who will work all day and night to spam the internet. These Ammabots have not purchased or read Gail Tredwell's "Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness" but they pretend that they have. They do not review the book but merely tell others to not read it, they attack Gail's character with vile smears and post links to Amma's smear sites.



Amazon have responded by removing more than 10 Ammabot reviews and over 50 comments. The wife of Amma PR chief Rob Sidon, formerly of Disney and owner of Higher Ground, using her maiden name again Anne Elizabeth Daniels has again joined the frenzied mob attack on Amma's star victim. In her two star review Elizabeth Sidon, as she is properly known, wrote "A Bitter Pill" November 21, 2013. What Sidon fails to even try to comprehend is what actually happened to Gail? Amritapuri is a torture chamber not a Disneyland. Sidon has never experienced the seedy side of Amritpuri because she has always been treated like royalty. Sidon had lead a sneaky attack on the Ex-Amma list and then tried to cover-up her posts after she was exposed in 2012. Amma's PR keep putting their foot in it and we will keep covering the stories.



An archive of Amma's recent shockingly malicious online attacks will be a permanent stain against abusive Amma and her knuckle brained enablers.

Proof That Ammabots Lie For Amma Amritanandamayi

Amma Amritanandamayi controls an army of Ammabots who she can order to lie, defame and beat Amma critics even if they could go to jail.


Radhika Nair, wife of the head of Amma's fraudulent AIMS hospital, Prem Nair, is one of several high ranking Ammabots who viciously lie about her Gail Tredwell, Amma's former personal servant, including molesting her children. Gail has responded by publishing letters which prove that Radhika Nair was praising Gail after she left Amma's ashram which means after she had contact with the Nairs. This proves that Nair is lying. How can Amma twist the mind's of her followers to commit criminal acts? The answers are in "Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness" which Amma's lawyers are trying to ban.
From Gail Tredwell's Facebook:

"If you cannot attack the message, then attack the messenger."

Now that many of my former friends, who I cared for immensely, have had the opportunity to serve their guru by untruthfully maligning my character in response to my truthful memoir, I feel it is time to shed some light on the reality of the situation. The testimonies on the Amma Scandal site attacking me, which are now documented for the world to see, prove how low people are willing to stoop to protect their beliefs.

What the organization perhaps failed to consider is that I have in my possession numerous email and handwritten letters from many of these devotees and from all of the head swamis. What better way to defend myself than by sharing what some of these former friends had to say about me shortly after I left the organization.

For now, I will share an email from Radhika Nair, dated 12.1.1999.


Ammasmon@hotmail.com

My dearest Swamini Amma,

I do not know how to start. Partly, because I have so much to say and partly, because I do not know how to say it. Please forgive me if I say something wrong. Firstly, I miss you so very much. You are my sister and oddly my mummy too. I do not open up easily and not being born with a sister, you are probably the only person I felt comfortable talking to. As a mummy, you always took care of me all the time, feeding me, clothing me and lovingly advising me.
In spite of all the work and responsibilities you had on the tour, many a time, you physically nursed me through my episodes of back pains, leg injuries and colds. Now that my sister and mummy are both physically and mentally drained, I feel sad and lost that I cannot serve and take care of you, or, express my love and appreciation for you. You have been my constant inspiration and aspiration. I have always secretly aspired to be just like you. Your noble qualities of tyaga, dedication, shraddha , fairness, sound judgement, one-pointedness, loving and caring nature, and above all, always being a great listener, have been a source of my contemplation.
We are a family, a very big family. Like in all big families, there are a few sisters and brothers who are uncaring and unthinking. But, there are many of us who have only love for you. Please remain in our family, and let us try and share some of your agony, fear and helplessness. Being shocked and grieving, please give us a chance to do something right this time. The relationship you and Amma have is beyond anyone's understanding. All I know is the despair, loss and helplessness you feel, Amma feels all of it too. She is also mentally drained. She told me that "Gayatri feels that Amma has not shown her any love, but Gayatri is a part of Amma. She has grown up on my shoulder". Saying this, Amma broke down into tears and sobbed.
You are and always have been strong. Now it is due to your very bad astrological time lasting till June 2000, that you are going through this. It is perhaps fate and beyond your control. You will be very vulnerable too now. This time away in solitude and contemplation may remind you of all of us who love, respect, revere and adore you so dearly. Except for a handful, all in Amritapuri only know that you are taking this time off to be in silence, regain your physical health and write your book. So when you are ready, the welcome wagon is waiting and your room is beautiful.
On your 41st Birthday party, I felt ashamed and sad that Priya, KU and myself could only come up with that "dumb" poem on JOY. So here I am all alone going to make up a new poem for you. I am sure it will also turn out stupid, but this one is out of love.

JOY

Joy to you was in giving
In giving your heart and soul to Amma
In giving your body in the labor of love
In giving your hands by nourishing us all
In giving your smile by understanding our woes
In giving your mind by helping us with decisions
But, Joy goes around and comes back
So, Joy to you should also be in receiving
In receiving, give us a chance to give our hearts and soul to you
In receiving, give us a chance to give our love to you
In receiving, give us a chance to give our nourishment to you
In receiving, give us a chance to give our understanding to you
In receiving, give us a chance to help you, our favorite Swamini Amma, our dearest Sister and our loving Mummy.


With lots and lots of love and hugs,
Your "teddy bear" of a sister
Radhika Nair


P.S. I am at AIMS with KU. Again he has pains and is suspected as having Appendicitis. It is now 3:30 AM. Today, the tests will show if he needs surgery or not. Please, please E-Mail us back. I have never received a personal E-Mail yet. But, to keep it private, you may sign it as "mummy and Sister". I love you.
KU want to send you an E-Mail too.

Dear Swamini Amma

I miss you very much. I wish you were here. I am very sick again. I had a check up again. The doctor said I have to have an operation. Please pray for me. Are you having fun, swimming and going for long walks? Is it snowing? I wish I were there to make a big snowman and have a snowball fight with you. I have to start school soon. I am glad that I got to send you an E-Mail. I wish the tour would start again and me, you, Swamiji and my dad and Amma would all be together again. Come back soon. I still have your Happy Birthday balloon. Priya will be very mad that I got to send you an E-Mail. Please send me an E-Mail and remember not to my sister.

I love you very much
From krishnanunni

Mata Amritanandamayi Embezzles The World

Raped beaten and still stalked by Amma cult – book review

Australian Gail Tredwell was frequently raped, beaten, abused and exploited during her 20 years as slave to billionaire religious Indian cult leader Sudhamani Idamannel aka Mata Amma Amritanandamayi. It's a sad but true story which has been validated by several Amma disciples accounts.

Physically exhausted and mentally destroyed by the Amritapuri ashram torture program, it took Gail 15 years to summon up the strength and courage to write this enlightening book about her path to real joy and freedom.



"Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness" starts with Gail's escape while being hunted by the rapist head of Amma's organization and one of several supposedly celibate Swamis who were having sex with Amma. Big Swami (aka Big Swami Balu and Swami Amritasvarupananda) searched devotee houses and interrogated people in a desperate bid to find and silence Gail. It's a nail-biting, edge of your seat kind of Jason Bourne tension that has you rooting for Gail's escape. Well written, I am still shaking with adrenaline!



Amma's cult continues to harass Gail to this very day as demonstrated by a wave of fake posters who spam Amazon with hundreds of posts containing links to two Amma sites devoted to libeling Gail. Ten outrageously untrue and spiteful Ammbot posts have been removed by Amazon already but the kamikaze Ammabots keep on robotically posting their hate because they fail to know love. Ammabots please note that this is Amazon for book lovers not a book-hating Amma-zone!



Gail had to overcome many psychological barriers to write "Holy Hell" including Stockholm Syndrome and PTSD. She even felt guilty about leaving behind 200 ashram women who had depended upon her support.



Gail describes how she hid cuts, bruises and Amma's violence from her friends and family. Amma's giving of charity money to build large Kerala houses for her relatives indicates massive fraud. Amma's overseas income is India's largest import. Although Ammachi claims to be a religious saint she refuses to open her business accounting books or to be transparent about her assets. Very fishy!



Gail is not the only victim to Amma's terrorism, Anyone who writes a book about Amma gets threatened. Amma tried to jail policeman Sreeni Pattathanam for writing a book "Matha Amritanandamayi: Divya Kathakalum Yatharthyavum (Matha Amritanandamayi: Sacred Stories and Realities) " which linked Amma to at least 5 murders, fraud and exposed her supposed miracles as scams. Amma leader and writer Taavi Kassila was ordered by Amma to lie in his book "Erään etsijän tarina" (as reported in an article Totuus vai maine?).



Mata Amma Amritanandamayi is worse than Jim Jones, Shoko Asahara and Charles Manson put together but as with the pedophilia of Satya Sai Baba, the West is slow to wake up to the danger in the midst. Amma's Amritapuri is the location of suspicious suicides, murders and psychotic breakdowns. The most recent ashram murder was that of Satnam Singh, a 25 year old Brahmin boy who tried to get Amma's counsel.



Gail's book tells how she escaped the clutches of a religious fraud and eventually regained her sanity and dignity. I would recommend this book to all religious seekers, travelers, academics and journalists. Top 5 star rating! Thank you Gail for your courage, insights and humor.

Amma Caught Lying, Removes Pages From Her Smear Campaign Sites

Amma Caught Lying, Removes Page From Her Smear Campaign Sites



Amma's hate-spreading websites made a mistake which has ruined their credibility in the eyes of her own ashram. Amma's response as usual is to try to cover it up. Too bad for her that others have copied her malicious pages as evidence of calculated libel.



In Kerala where she is known simply as "The Mother", Mata Amma Amritanandamayi can have anything which she wants through her extensive network of devotees, thugs, corrupt policeman and fawning politicians.



When policeman Sreeni Pattathanam connected Mata Amma Amritanandamayi to at least five murders including her own brother, Amma threatened him with jail and her thugs tried to intimidate him. Amma's fearsome reach spans India where in New Delhi her thugs attacked a whole community with iron bars for daring to remove from their property her billboard advertising an old "hug and mug" event.



Far from the compassionate image which Amma wants to be seen as, behind the scenes Amma is seething with rage at those who would not submit to her. For Amma a hug is not an act of kindness but homage like kissing the ring of the Pope or a mafia boss. Amma wants everyone to bow down to her, take a beating and hand over all their money. Many do. Gail Tredwell did for 20 years. Amma has sought to abuse Gail for a total of 35 years. Amma can no longer physically beat Gail and Big Swami Balu cannot rape her but this sadistic couple are pouring their hatred into two websites created to smear Gail with fake testimonies from faithful senior Amma devotees.



The sites misleadingly titled "Amma Scandal" and "Letters to Mother" published a testimony by a senior Amma woman "Hari Sudha". It has now been proven to be so embarrassing wrong for Amma that it had to be removed. The testimony unwittingly validated accusations that Big Swami Balu had been sexually interested in Gail when she was Amma's nun and servant. Balu had in fact been raping Gail all along. Important dates were wrong which proved that Hari Sudha must had lied.



If Amma and her senior followers can so easily lie then who would trust them? Publicly Amma pretends to love Gail but privately she is sponsoring character assassination attacks upon her.

Amma Inner Circle Black Ops Named And Shamed

Amma's fundamentalist fanatics are trying to destroy former Amma disciple Gail Tredwell's privacy, reputation and peace of mind by distributing vile lies and smears. Lying and violence, the Amma way in India, is a threat to the Western law and order.

A few brave truth warriors, unafraid of Amma's continual harassment are telling the truth about Amma's circle of psychopaths. We thank you for your service and posting to our blog:
“Rajita Cappadocia Real Estate Agent/Dung Heap Poster has left a new comment on your post "Amma Fanatics Terrorize Free Press To Remove Gail Tredwell-Interview":

Latest "testimonial" on the dung heap Amma Scandal blog comes from Maui Ammabot and high profile real estate agent Rajita Cappadocia - http://ammascandal.wordpress.com/2013/11/27/remembering-gail-tredwell-rajitas-memories-of-gayatri/

Stupid Rajita has now possibly left herself wide open to charges of slander and even harassment as she lives on Maui like Gail Tredwell, the object of her scuttlebutt. She has in the past referred to herself as "amma security". No, Rajita, when you do that in the USA and then post slander online about someone who lives in the same town as you it CAN become a matter for the police.

Joke is Rajita certainly doesn't want her real estate clients to know of her Ammabot association. As last year she took down her Facebook page and must have paid someone to totally scour the internet of anything connecting her to Amma. After Ammabot cyber attack dog Surya Narayan Amma Das dropped her in the shit on his FB, every reference to her and amma online disappeared overnight. The only thing she appears to have left is a small reference on her twitter account.
Her pretty little website which she uses to sell real estate and her feng shui skills certainly does not mention Mummy:
http://www.rajitacappadocia.com/2010/01/aloha-and-happy-new-years-everyone-now_13.html

The Amma Scandal blog usually never gives the surnames of those who supposedly write their lies and crapola. Others who have written are Grace Aparna Warren, an attorney based in San Ramon; Mira Jane Parkfelt, a South African who lives at Amritapuri and also at Franschhoek, Western Cape where her family has a winery; Radhika Nair (who actually posted her surname) wife of Prem Nair, the head of the Kochi AIMS hospital; Gretchen Kusuma McGregor; and of course our own Anu Iyer (Chechi) Crowd Controller.

Amma Fanatics Terrorize Free Press To Remove Gail Tredwell Interview

Murderíng Mata Ammachi "the patron saint of rapists" frightens the life out of locals in India but in the West Amma's PR team are working day and night to present the mafia cult leader as a saint even though Scary Momma fanatics have started to terrorize Westerners.

The latest victim is Martin Frischknecht of Swiss spiritual magazine SPUREN who published an interview with Gail Tredwell, the author of “Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness”. Amma sent   a bloodcurdling threat; SPUREN is too afraid to make a public statement. Amma's fascist shock troops are frightening the free press. Who will fall next?

While the cowardly Amma group feel confident to attack weak devotees and small magazines they are afraid of Rolling Stones magazine, the New York Times and Gail Tredwell. Amma's nasty side is revealed on Amazon where every positive review of Gail's book is viciously attacked by Ammabots except Marit Hegge's review (Amma HQ have been ordered the Amma PR team to not antagonize Marit because their tactics will backfire).

We will publish a translation of the interview in solidarity.

Deceptive Amma Amritanandamayi Rubs Out Man From Photograph

Further evidence of the deceptive practices and dishonesty of the Amma Amritanandamayi criminal businesses emerged as Amma rubbed out a man from an early group photograph. No explanation has been given by the Amma Math which has been associated with murder, suicide, physical violence, cruelty and insanity.

Amma erased her filmmaker promoter teenage sex predator Rishi Taavi Kassila from over 35 pages of amma.fi when she tried to deny knowing him in public statement. Amma has had several lovers from her supposedly celibate swamis including rapist Big Swami Balu who is also in the photo.

It has been predicted that Gail Tredwell, Amma's secretary for 20 years will also be earsed from photographs possibly putting will placing Amma's current slave Swamini Krishnamrita Prana's head on her body.

Now you see him, now you do not. Amma the miracle pudding-maker is a magician (with the help of Photoshop).

Guruphiliac: Busted Again, Amma!

Amma Contracted Taavi Kassila To Lie About Minister Relationship

Amma ordered Rishi Taavi Kassila to lie in his vain 'kiss and tell' autobiography about his relationship with former Finnish minister Tanja Karpela. Amma then forced Kassila to sign a contract declaring that Kassila had written lies. Strange then that Amma and her organization later issued a public statement which implied that they did not know Kassila after deleting all references to Kassila from over 35 webpages of amma.fi .

This evidence was revealed in a text chat between Kassila, who was supposed to be a celibate Amma ashram monk and a jilted girlfriend in her blog 'Tarina rakkauden apostolista'. The blog which was closed down by order of Finnish government officials contained a signed testimony of a teenage girl who Kassila had stalked and tried to seduce.

Kassila, a former film director, has a history of using women to gain fame, power, money and sex. Kassila targets vulnerable women for multiple secretive, short-term relationships. Tanja Karpela, a former Miss Finland who had several difficult divorces after meeting Amma, was used in Amma publicity campaigns which negatively affected her political career. Karpela's colleagues advised her to not go to Amma's Amritapuri ashram just before a tsunami hit it. Kassila irresponsibly and dishonestly told the media that he would protect Karpela whose life had been threatened if she arrived at Amma's Helsinki meeting. This was ironic because Kassila has a reputation for using, abusing and destroying women. Kassila had even used fake names of women to harass and cyberstalk a former girlfriend. The attacks had originated from Kassila's internet address.

The text chat also revealed that Kassila was afraid of a “jealous woman” who had a photograph of him with “his pants down”. This supports the claims that Taavi Kassila used the internet and Facebook to swap sexual photos with women who are half his age. Kassila was afraid that the scandal would wreck his reputation as an Amma monk and yoga and celibacy preacher.

The original text Tarina rakkauden apostolista: Totuus vai maine? may be read with Google's translation: The story of love's apostle : Truth or reputation?

Amma asks her followers to lie for her and has installed serial rapist 'Big' Swami Balu to run all her affairs. Amma and her organization cannot be trusted. Amma while currently touring is asking her helpers to lie in an attempt to smear her former secretary Gail Tredwell aka Gayatri aka Swamini Amritaprana. Amma is avoiding media interviews too. This simply proves that Gail Tredwell's book 'Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness' is the dynamite of truth which will cause Amma's house of lies to fall.

Amma Human Trafficker Rishi Taavi Kassila Threatens Us Again

Corrupt Rishi Taavi Kassila threatened our blog again. He wanted us to know that he sued the writer of Tarina rakkauden apostolista for defamation. Kassila is a liar, his case depended on violation of privacy not defamation. The blog writer always declared that the blog is 100% true and regrets the court decision which has allowed Kassila to continue to harm women.

The blog revealed that Kassila had spread herpes, had sex with teenage girls and included the signed testimony of one of his victims (who he had failed to seduce). The blog published a text chat in which Kassila admitted that Amma Amritanandamayi had ordered him to lie about former Finnish minister Tanja Karpela and sign a contract promising never to reveal the lie. Could this be why Kassila won the court case?

Taavi Kassila's written threat is so untruthful and irrelevant that we decided not to publish it. Taavi Kassila makes money by human trafficking European and Russian women to the Amma Amritapuri ashram in Kerala where they are exploited by the violent Amma and her rapist lover Swami Balu aka Big Swami.

Amma has not succeeded in censoring her former secretary Gail Tredwell and Taavi Kassila will not censor our blog. Amma, Taavi Kassila and Big Swami Balu are predators. We will expose them.

If Kassila wants a real discussion then he should start by telling the truth.

Ammabot zombie rampage over Holy Hell book

Following a detailed eyewitness book exposing her involvement with fraud, violence and rape, Amma Amritanandamayi has gone into panic and is refusing media interviews. Her followers in Italy have defected.

Amma has ordered her Ammabots to smear her former handmaiden who she would personally beat and allow Swami Balu to rape. Even before they had read the book, Ammbot HQ was giving bogus, bland, generic 1-star reviews of “Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness” by Gail Tredwell aka Gayatri aka Swamini Amritaprana. Unfortunately they also used expressions which reveal that Amma is an ambassador of hate. This is not surprising since Amma, who has been linked to murders, riots and right-wing gangsters, has installed a rapist at the head of her business affairs and ashram life.

Ammabots have also created a hate website to smear Gail Tredwell whose book represents a great threat to Amma's image in the West. Amma is incensed that she cannot use the corrupt Indian government officials to ban the book as she did with school teacher Sreeni Pattathanam. Amma needs money-grabbing sex predators like Rishi Taavi Kassila (who has repeatedly threatened this blog) and Swami Balu to run her criminal enterprises.

Amma Amritanandamayi - Patron Saint of Amritapuri Rapists

Holy Hell is another book exposing cult mafia leader Amma Amritanandamayi and directly gives evidence of raping, stealing, beatings and murder by Amma and her henchmen who pretend to be celibate Hindu swamis. India's top gurus are exposed for corruption pimping, money laundering, pedophilia and drug taking.

Amma's audacious marketing plan was to take her Kali sacrificing cult scam beyond India's superstitious borders and rebrand it as humanitarian work. She duped a few gullible politicians like Tanja Karpela but most people have higher standards and never believed her scam. But right now thousands of Westerners are being physically and mentally abused in Amma's Amritapuri ashram which has produced sex freaks such as Amma monk 'Rishi' Taavi Kassila.

Kassila who was in court protesting that a blog exposing his herpes-spreading lifestyle had violated his privacy could not deny accusation of sex with teenage girls. Amma had ordered Kassila to repeatedly attack a former girlfriend to shut her up. Her blog pages have been removed to comply with a court order but they have been copied to our blog (see Tarina rakkauden apostolista ). Amma who stopped distribution of a book in India which accuses her of being involved with murders will not be able to stop publication of her ex-secretary Gail "Gayatri" Tredwell's book Holy Hell.

"Ammachi has had sex with several of her swamis, numerous times, before and AFTER they became swamis, all the while she was preaching celibacy as necessary for her devotees."

"Balu was standing on Amma's bed … and Amma was kneeling before him with her head just inches from his groin."

Gail "Gayatri" Tredwell Exposes Amma Violence "Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness"

 Gail "Gayatri" Tredwell exposes vicious cult leader Amma in her book Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness available from Amazon (and eBookPie as Holy Hell)

Spoiler: Amma has a secret lover,

Amma, universally known as "The Hugging Saint," went through a two-decade transformation from a simple fisherman's daughter to an international wonder worshiped by millions. Gail "Gayatri" Tredwell was there every step of the way—from early devotee to head female disciple, ever-present personal attendant, handmaiden, whipping post, and unwilling keeper of some devastating secrets. At age nineteen, when she was a happy-go-lucky, adventurous lass from Australia, Tredwell never imagined that she would soon be trading her free spirit and skimpy clothing for a life of submission in an ankle-length sari. Her eager decision to serve the young "saint" began with innocence and a pure desire to please her new guru. In time, the relationship transformed into virtual enslavement in which Tredwell was on call 24/7 and worked herself nearly to death in the hope of finding God. Because she became fluent in the Malayalam language and had continual intimate proximity to
 Amma for twenty years, Tredwell is uniquely capable of portraying this famous woman. She tells her tale with straightforward honesty, fairness, and a dash of Aussie snap and wit. Although the guru’s flaws are a necessary part of her story and awakening, she strives to be factual throughout, digging deep to eschew victim frameworks and take responsibility for her own role in accepting the abuse and perpetuating the lies. The book evokes the joys of early devotional life and vibrant images of rural India. Through Tredwell's eyes, we watch a modest and traditional ashram metastasize into a business-oriented, bustling, mega-international organization. We also see how such a dizzying rise created vast opportunity for abuse, deceit, and hypocrisy. Tredwell takes us vividly through her varying stages, starting with naïveté and innocent devotion, then on to dawning awareness and confusion, finally to emotional breakdown and her shocking "enlightenment"—her realization that the liberation she urgently required was is in fact liberation from her own guru. In a gradual yet determined struggle, she managed to untangle herself from the web of myth and indoctrination. Only then was she able to muster her battered but not quite broken spirit and plot her escape. Gail's flight to freedom—her victorious recovery from a life of abuse and disillusionment—displays extraordinary strength and inspiring courage.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Holy Hell is Gail Tredwell's captivating, inspiring, instructive story of why as a willing slave she endured her guru's cruelty, insults, hitting, kicking, and terrorizing for twenty years.
In spite of predictable retribution, Tredwell felt morally compelled to expose her guru's lies and her own complicity. Her brave, intelligent memoir is valuable for its depth and searing honesty--a gift to seekers vulnerable to similar widespread misconceptions about spirituality and the role of surrender."
--Joel Kramer & Diana Alstad, coauthors of The Guru Papers:  Masks of Authoritarian Power 

"Writing through the wise lens of hindsight, Tredwell weaves into her fascinating story of liberation from the depths of a modern-day cult, the hidden dangers of blind faith. Her insights drawn from years of personal experience render this book invaluable for individuals considering, or perhaps unaware they are already on, such a path."
--Steven Hassan, author of Freedom of Mind: Helping Loved Ones Leave Controlling People, Cults and Beliefs

"Far more than a cautionary tale, Holy Hell is a captivating, heart-rending, inspiring and instructive story. This intelligent, brave, and lucid account is uniquely valuable for its depth and searing honesty. Gail Tredwell reveals the lies, cruelty, and greed behind her guru’s facade of selfless love, perpetual bliss, and divine perfection. As a willing slave who sacrificed her well-being and sanity on what she mistook for a spiritual path, she endured her guru’s ongoing abuse—from hitting, kicking, and scratching to routinely insulting, humiliating, and terrorizing her with threats. To prevent others from being ensnared by similar traps—in spite of predictable retribution and scapegoating—Tredwell felt morally compelled to tell the truth and reveal the guru’s deceit along with her own complicity. Her resulting memoir is a gift to seekers vulnerable to similar widespread misconceptions about spirituality and the role of surrender." —*Joel Kramer & Diana Alstad, coauthors of The Guru Papers: Masks of Authoritarian Power*

Amma Rishi Taavi Kassila Destroys Forum Discussions To Avoid Legal Entanglement

Acting on the orders of cult leader accused of multiple homicide, Sudhamani Idamannel (aka Amma), disciple 'Rishi' Taavi Kassila has destroyed two public internet forum discussions about his potentially criminal activities.

60 year old Kassila has been following Sudhamani Idamannel (aka Amma) for 20 years. Amma Amritanandamayi religious enterprises conglomerate has been accused of using violence, political corruption, internet censorship, harassment and murder to further its huge business empire worth billions. No media agency has been able to assess Sudhamani Idamannel's vast wealth because of the octopus-like nature of her semi-legal charities which act as businesses.

By the wish of Amma Amritanandamayi several websites and forums have been completely destroyed. Bronte Baxter's informative CultOfTheHuggingSaint.com was taken down. A YahooGroup which had 900 Ex-Amma members was destroyed without a trace. The new Ex-Amma group was threatened with bogus copyright claims for portraying a legal photo of a privately purchased Amma Doll. Amma has urged her own followers that they must destroy their private photos of her. Amma tried to sue ex-policeman Sreeni Pattathanam whose investigation revealed that Amma's brother Subhagan (alias Sunilkumar) was beaten to death after Amma threatened that he would die within 7 days (as recorded in Amma's official biography).

Just 2 days ago (June 26th, 2013) several 'hot topic' discussions were deleted from media website Suomi24 (Finland24) after a flurry of desperate and revealingly hateful comments in support of Taavi Kassila. The first discussion "Taavi Kassila ja sensuuri" was 2 years old and contained over 255 posts. The second discussion contained over 35 posts about Taavi Kassila's court date "Taavi Kassila oikeudessa 9.8".

A similar court date discussion thread had been deleted as soon as it had been posted even though it had contained no controversial information.

Amma Amritanandamayi's PR team have been working around the clock to suppress all eyewitness testimonies proving that Amma is a criminal fraud. The wife of Rob Sidon Amma's ex-Disney PR head was caught using an alternative name as she tried to besmirch the reputation of Gayatri (Gail Tredwell) who was formally Amma's closest disciple. Gayatri testified in to Rolling Stone magazine article about the dark side of "Amma The Hugging Saint" including violence and financial corruption.

Taavi Kassila was Amma's publicly listed media contact and honorary chairman until Amma.fi deleted 35 webpages which mentioned 'Rishi' Taavi Kassila.

Two interviews in which Kassila made bogus claims about permanently emigrating to India to become a celibate monk has also been suddenly deleted from media websites after 4 years. It looks like Kassila and the Amma organization are deliberately removing embarrassing evidence which would prove that Taavi Kassila is a nasty religious fake. Kassila goes to Helsinki District Court on August 9th, 2013 in an attempt to refute the idea that Sri Mata Amma Amritanandamayi Devi's representative, monk and ashram resident is a cheating herpes-spreading seducer of teenage girls.

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.

Disgraced Rishi Taavi Kassila Legal Bluff To The Yoga Community

Taavi Kassila, thank you for your comment. We know that you seldom write in an open forum although you love media attention.

We read your vague legal threat and await your detailed complaint. We find no reason to close our blog because we have printed the accusations in good faith, know them to be true and consider their publication to be a public service.

We do not accept your request to privately email but instead invite you to reply publicly. The yoga community require full public statements to your super public scandal. The accusations against you are serious. Attempting to silence your critics on the internet will be unsuccessful and met with resistance.

The police case in which you are involved has not been decided. The blog 'Tarina rakkauden apostolista' by your ex-girlfriend is legal and permitted to exist online. It seems that you do not disagree with the blog's claim that you made unwanted sexual advances upon the teenage daughter of a mother who trusted your fake media image as a celibate monk. Your pretext to enter her home, in search of sex, was to deliver an Amma video. It is well known that you pay extra attention to teenage girls in your yoga classes. Claiming to be able to fix a school girl's tensions, you touch and rub her although you have no medical qualifications. You follow up by inviting the girl to friend your Taavi Kassila Facebook page so that you can continue to sexually harass them. Is this why you publish 'love poetry'?

Rolling Stone magazine reported in 'The Hugging Saint' about Amma Amritanandamayi's violence and financial corruption as witnessed by Ammachi's closest disciple, Gail Tredwell. We assume that these accusations of "violence (mental, emotional, psychological and physical)" are true because Amma has not sued Rolling Stone.

Amma Finland have never explained why they secretly erased your name from their webpages at the time when Amma India and Amma Finland issued a statement distancing Amma from you. Do you know why they did made a cover-up?

Defending Gayatri from Amma and Ammabot Attacks

Gayatri, Amma's closest and earliest Western disciple has started to tell the truth about Amma's violent fits,  financial corruption and personal beatings. Since revealing the truth Gayatri has been strongly attacked and slandered by Ammabots who, while admitting that she is a good and sane person, cannot accept her public statements. One Ammabot,  Shaktidas, admitted that the charges against Amma were of no concern because Amma is the guru. This is how a true cult member thinks.

In support of Gayatri (Gail Tredwell) we reprint a comment in the Rolling Stone discussion section.

"There has been much speculation re Gail Tredwell's motivations in waiting so long to speak out. As one of the people who has actually engaged in face to face conversation with her in recent months I would like to say that the reason she did not speak out straight away after she left was because she was SO TRAUMATISED by the abuse she has suffered. Abuse which is far more than what was mentioned in the Rolling Stone article.

This abuse was NOT something done as a form of guru - student discipline. It was at times Amma totally losing it. Attacks of extreme temper in which she screamed at Gail, yelling obscenities. She was hit, scratched, bitten, pinched, kicked and had her hair pulled out. What had been the odd slap or pinch in earlier years became by the late '90s full blown abuse.

Gail for years accepted this abuse. I think at first she may also have believed that this was part of her role as the student and the guru as master. She initially never tried to protect herself. But at times she told me she was almost shaking in fear whilst waiting for Amma to come back after a long darshan. Not knowing what mood she would be in.

This abuse WAS witnessed by others. Including other swamis. She was even hit by Amma when they travelled by car after the programs. The drivers witnessing this abuse. Other persons close to Amma in the ashram witnessed this abuse. It mainly occurred though behind closed doors. Others close to Amma were also abused by her.

Gail used to wear a scarf around her neck to hide any marks causing scratching and bruising that may have been visible. She said at times she felt ashamed and embarrassed lest others see.

She never hit Amma back or yelled back at her. Although towards the end she did put up her arms to defend herself and get into defensive positions just as the blows were coming at her.

It took years for Gail to get over the trauma of what had happened to her. She had to undergo therapy. She was also fearful of retribution if she spoke out. She had nightmares and could not sleep. She was also embarrassed in so many ways about what had happened to her and what she had allowed to happen to her.

For years she just wanted to not think about it all.
But also knew that she would never be truly free unless she faced up to what had happened to her. Which is what motivated her to write her book. As much as to tell the world her story. Also for her to regain her power.

I don't think Gail hates Amma. I think she now sees her more than anything for who she is. She feels compassion for her as a human being. She also has fond memories of the GOOD times she spent with Amma in the early days.

And no, despite what happened to her she is NOT a crazy person. Still has a fine sense of humour and is able to laugh at herself as well as at some of the things that happened. "
