Book Description
"Smiling, the Divine Mother became an effulgence and merged in me. My mind blossomed, bathed in the many-hued light of Divinity, and the events of millions of years gone by rose up within me. Thenceforth, seeing nothing as apart from my own Self, a single Unity, and merging in the universal Mother of Bliss, I gave up the notion that there is happiness apart from the Self." It is in these inspiring words that the Holy Mother, Mata Amritanandamayi, describes Her realization of oneness with the Divine while yet in Her teens. This book, Mata Amritanandamayi, vividly portrays the Mother's courage and intense devotion to God in the face of attacks by Her unsympathetic relatives and hostile detractors who sought to destroy Her, as they feared the changes brought about by Her universal love. From Her childhood itself, Amma was endowed with an ineffable love for God, and She immersed Herself in that quest, even without a Guru. Treated as a servant by Her family, the Mother continued in that role until Her conscious absorption in the bliss of God-Realization made it impossible for Her to discharge Her endless chores. Crazy to all appearances, the Mother spent Her time in meditation, devotional singing and dancing, totally absorbed in God Consciousness. In due course, may sincere seekers of Self-Realization sought Her out in Her remote village in Southern India and found guidance and gained the strength to walk in the spiritual path. Millions have come for a glimpse of the Holy Mother and received comforting reassurance and love. Those that have seen Her have experienced the wonderful healing and rejuvenating effect of the unconditional love that Mothers showers on all. This Book Is In English. Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.

Book Description
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. 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. 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

Book Description
In The Mind of the Guru, Rajiv Mehrotra presents dialogues with several contemporary sages and masters who have illumined the minds of millions around the world. Ranged here are gurus as diverse as B. K. S. Iyengar, who brought yoga from the world of the esoteric to our living rooms; Swami Ramdev, who has democratized yoga via television; and Mata Amritanandamayi, whose mere presence invokes an overwhelming awareness of love. There is Deepak Chopra discussing a quantum healing of mind and body, Sogyal Rinpoche encouraging us to look at death so that we might live a better life and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar reaffirming each person’s right and access to happiness. And there is the unique and contrary voice of U. G. Krishnamurti telling us that all talk of transformation is poppycock. There are no grand narratives or final solutions, only guides who can show the way to the light within. Here you learn from voices as diverse as that of Thich Nhat Hanh, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Baba Amte and Stanislav Grof. Underlying the dialogues is their wisdom on how we can make ourselves unhappy – and guidance on how we can turn our lives around to achieve happiness.
