Anyone here had an experience with the guru Amma?

I was involved with her organitzation years ago.
I remember a very special energy around her. A magical athmosphere.
Like... I could feel so much energy around her.

But I didnt know if it came from her or just from all those people who believe she is God.

I have diferent feelings about her. Like... on one hand I really like her and her meetings are so cool.

One the other hand I have seen people going super crazy around her, throwing themselves on the floor, crying, throwimg themselves on her feet or... waiting like... 5 hours next to her just for her to look at them for a second.

Plus... I am sorry to say that but as here nobody kmows me I can be free to say what I think... sometimes I have to confess I found her kind of arrogant. I know it seems crazy as she is suposed to be the holiest person.

But... the way she was making big show when for example someone between the audience was disable ( like running to hugg that person like ... making a show) , or the way she reacted when people fall on her feet, I found it sometimes a little weird. Like... I wouldnt imagine Jesus behaving that way.

But I also acept maybe I wasnt prepared to maybe get what she was , I dont know.

Or I was not convinced about this whole thing people say like... she can speak all languatges of the world bcs she is God but yet she needs english translation bcs for some reason she doesnt wanna show it.

Or this stuff about her not needing to eat or to sleep at all... being in the organitzation
I have seen she eats and she stays in good hotels.
That doesnt make her bad of course but I feel maybe people around her went a bit too crazy.
I dont know if its her or the people around her who say she is the second Jesus. But I find it a bit too much.

I just know it isnt healthy to think someone else is God bcs God is in you.
That doesnt mean she isnt an enlightened person. I mean really there is some huge energy around her on her meetings.

I was super involved on her organization as a teen. I went away bcs I felt it didnt encourage people to find God within themselves. Some people I met they were following her throught all countries in Europe just to never be apart from her while she was in Europe. Even if it meant leaving your studies and losing the whole course.

I dont know. I am just curious about if someone here met her. She is in my city now and I would like to go to her meeting but I think I wont bcs the people from her organization got very mad at me when I left and its too uncomfortable to see them again.

Did some of you ever meet her?

Yes, I met her once. It doesn't matter if I felt connected to her. The important question is were you. There are instances where disciples got enlightened with a false master. Remember the tibetan Milerepa? It is important to give all your heart and all your soul once you travel this road to enlightenment. Amma is very strict about morality. And I am not. Sex is a gift that nature provided for humans to enjoy and procreate. I am very pro life and against people who asks us without empathizing with you to restrain.


A sinner will go to the colloquial heaver sooner than a saint. Buddha once send his disciple to a prostitute. He wanted him to fulfill his desires and then come to him for meditation. You can never look back once you travel the path of the spirit.
Amma will never do that. She may have her own reasons.

Also know this that once master attains enlightenment, they become very fragile. Jesus lasted few hours on the cross. Ramakrishna got cancer. Osho was very allergic to those smoking. A very thin stand connects them to this world. The more enlightened they are the more fragile they are. Perhaps she doesn't want people to touch you. Some energy must be lost everytime those vibrating on lower consciousness touches them. Hence she must have sounded arrogant. As I mentioned, it is a miracle that they are still hovering on this side of the shore, once enlightenment is attained. We must be grateful that such beings are still in their bodies. Very often they have known to have mastered their inner body to be still alive.

Love and light.

Here is a youtube where she is being interviewed.

She is known as a Humanitarian.

No body goes to heaven without committing sins of the flesh or matter. I am sure she was a great sinner in her past life and in this life chose a path of sainthood.

TRIPPING OVER JOY

What is the difference
Between your experience of Existence
And that of a saint?

The saint knows
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God

And that the Beloved
Has just made such a Fantastic Move

That the saint is now continually
Tripping over Joy
And bursting out in Laughter
And saying, “I Surrender!”

Whereas, my dear,
I am afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.”

Is that why you see chequered symbols in the church.

Amma sits in a temple and lets people worship her. Hope she is not an ET.

Why set such precedence at all? All are equal. We are created in image of Enki and Enlil and their sister. We are going to be same as them one day.
You and I can create and design the solar system to our liking one day. Jesus said you can move mountains with just a word.
