Amma broke through a lot of social barriers to get where she is. But, the
focus on innate motherhood as the basis for female creativity is a little
disturbing to me, somehow.

Did Amma really write this? If so, why does she refer to herself (in the first
sentence) in the third person? It sounds like someone wrote it for her.

In that she is the Divine Mother - it could be viewed as a PR piece to some
extent. Her swami (Big Swami) writes many, if not all, of her speeches, from
what I hear. When I went to go see her, we sat for 45 minutes while she talked
at everyone in Malayalam and then listened to an immediate

Well the main issue is that Amma somehow represents modern women and can

And of course I can totally relate to referring oneself in the third
person, I have done this many times and it looks so silly in retrospect.
The mystically intoxicated state creates such a sense of oneness, unity

Maharishi made a similiar comment. He said, (paraphrased), that a
woman's creativity is so innate, that she doesn't even know how she
