One good article is Cult of the hugging saint: “Let us worship Amma as the embodiment of all forms of God, knowing that all divine forms are hers alone.
Wow, how profound :) – “a mahatma holds a firm grip on her mind”… so there’s still duality, conflict, effort… This is about slavery not freedom! There are plenty of page on the internet about Amma. “The mind of mahatma resembles the brakes of an expensive car”. Same exact lines as Sai Baba and some other gurus: “Mother is always with you…there is no need to be afraid”.
Sure!! :) Check out her epistemology: “…the things that we perceive through our senses … in truth, they are nonexistent, just like dreams”!! Ok, that chair is not there :) “you can get everything you need from a satguru there’s no need to go anywhere in search of anything” pg 76). And the rest of standard practices of Hinduism and the same cosmology and the same primitive simplistic and false approach to psychology: “creation exists only when there is a notion of ”I”. “it becomes impossible to away from the master even for a moment” page 26. Give the money to Amma, and don’t worry about anything else. That “the master knows far better than the disciple what is good or bad for the disciple, and what he or she does or does not need”. All you need to do is follow the path of your master… all the disciple needs to do is surrender wholeheartedly at the master’s feet…” (page 21/22) The whole book is about dedicating yourself to the master and her feet. Once you find a sat guru you no longer need to think about realization, nor do you need to worry about rebirth. “The sat guru means more to the disciple than God. According to one of the books: Amma considers herself to be a “sat guru” who “raises us to God’s world”. Same old ideas of bow to the master and she will purify your mind nonsense. The ideology is the same old Hindu stuff nothing original, nothing fresh. From little Amma statues to pictures of her (not so attractive) feet, to digital mantra counters. Many stands were selling Amma commercial material. The followers are the same genre that made the other gurus into masters of giant empires. She does “good”, no doubt, charitable work, but her empire is also materially rich and her ego as well, boasted by power.

Flocks of gullible Westerners go to see her and donate money and free service. Please explore our website to know more.Sometime ago I was invited to go see Amma – the chubby woman who hugs her visitors – that’s a new fad – in the old days gurus would bless the visitors in other ways, now she hugs – that’s her competitive advantage – and it works, not meaning that it transforms people but that people are suckers for it. There are regular bhajans (devotional singing) sessions, which also involve spiritual teachings and meditation. Here in Malaysia, there are many opportunities to get involved in activities and spiritual practices inspired by Amma. The young, the old the rich, the poor people of all faiths, nations and walks of life are taking inspiration and solace from the peace and love awoken in the human heart by Amma. Inspired by Amma, citizens of Malaysia have been coming together to provide food and showers for the homeless, to plant saplings as part of afforestation drives, and to practice meditation and other spiritual practices.
Through this blessing, countless hearts have been opened to a world of peace, love and service.
Every day she sits for hours on end, receiving person after person in the loving embrace of a mother, sharing tears of the sorrowful and spreading joy. Known across the globe for her fathomless compassion, selflessness and spiritual wisdom, Amma has dedicated her entire life for the benefit of other people. Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma), more popularly known as the Hugging Saint and a renowned humanitarian has been visiting Malaysia since 2002.
