The conspiracy to malign revered saint Mata
Amritanandamayi Amma
Amritanandamayi Amma
Dr.Manmohan Vaidya and Ma.Suresh Bhaiyya Ji Joshi
Mata Amritanandamayi – Amma to millions – is a world renowned Hindu saint
with a following that cuts across geography, religion, race and community. She
has blessed the lives of millions of suffering humanity through her healing
touch of boundless love and affection. This ‘Hugging saint’ has received
international accolades from the United Nations and many counties for her
relentless efforts at alleviating human misery. A personification of divine
love, Amma maintains a gruelling schedule of travel to every nook and corner of
the world, giving nigh-long sermons, answering the questions of thousands of
devotees with utmost patience and responding to thousands of mails and letters.
She also administers and manages countless social service projects for the
benefit of the poor and needy. Through her hardwork, Amma has inspired a
worldwide philanthropic movement.

It is shocking to see such a noble soul being targeted with malice and
malevolence by certain evil groups in the West, whose credentials are highly
suspect. The book Holy Hell is a despicable attempt by the enemies of Sanatana
Dharma and humanity to tarnish the reputation of a great Dharmic movement, the
growing influence of which is probably seen as a threat by the fundamentalist
and obscurantist religious zealots of the West.

The timing of the book, the totally false and unsubstantiated
allegations hurled at Amma’s movement in that book and the immediate lapping up
of those vicious and abusive contents by a well-known anti-Hindu section of the
media and intelligentsia smack of a sinister international conspiracy. Several Hindu
saints and missions were targeted in similar manner in the past too.

We strongly condemn these shameful attempts to berate a holy saint like
Amma and call upon the entire Hindu society and the right-thinking world to
denounce those behind these machinations as the enemies of humanity.

mission, and extend support to all the efforts in challenging the nefarious
conspiracy against her and other Hindu saints and institutions.
