New Book By Ex-Amma Devotee Exposes The Dark Side Of Amma

Posted by cultofhuggingsaintamma on June 30, 2009

A newly released book by ex-Amma devotee Jovan Jones sheds light on the dark side of the hugging saint. Chasing The Avatar is the true story of one woman who spent two years living in the ashram, teetered on the edge of sanity, and went head to head with darkness. Through grace, she managed to get out of the ashram alive and with the strength to share her story with the world. There is little doubt that this book will be a blessing to ex-devotees, families of devotees struggling with their loved ones involvement with the group, and devotees who find themselves trapped in psychological, emotional, and spiritual darkness. Several ex-devotees are currently reading this new book and will return back with a full review. In the meantime, on behalf of everyone who has suffered due to direct or indirect involvement with the Amma group….THANK YOU JOVAN for finally giving a voice to those who live in fear of coming forward from the shadows.
