If you are not biased for Amma (supporter) and against TMO (denouncer) can you please explain the following highly prejudiced and loaded statement: ""Take a look, for example, at how Amma's admirers describe her. Without exception, they paint a picture of a humble, down-to-earth woman whose charitable projects make an immediate difference for people in need -- a far cry from the TM movement with its trappings of monarchy and its seemingly endless string of grandiose schemes.""

The fact is you are prejudiced against the TMO, and support Amma organization, and did not want to give the opinions of people who are happy with TM who live there. Its your choice. I really don't care. But it actually made your article and opinion weaker. Why would you do that to yourself?
