Formal mediation

The formal mediation case - Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Mata Amritanandamayi - has concluded, and I've added the paragraph agreed in this mediation, which relates to allegations made by Gail Tredwell. PhilKnight (talk) 03:14, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate name "Ammachi" missing from article

The article fails to mention that her followers call her Ammachi. Is there no reference for this in a reliable source? David Spector (talk) 16:47, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Other "Ammas"

The article could mention that there are other female gurus named "Amma", such as Amma Sri Karunamayi (who is "revered in India as an embodiment of Divine Motherly Love" according to her biography). It could compare the philosophies and teachings of these various heart-oriented leaders. David Spector (talk) 16:55, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sri

Her name includes the honorific title, Sri. Thus, her full name would be Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi.

I wonder if this could be noted somewhere? Amma.org and Amritapuri.org both include the "Sri". 63.92.241.249 (talk) 03:05, 21 June 2016 (UTC) Darwin[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't use honorifics to refer to people. See WP:HONORIFIC. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:37, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Additional sources for the controversy section

The latest publication of The Guru magazine has a series of allegations against Amma.
