Regarding the Judgement brought upon "Amma", a dear friend to the poor.

It has been brought to my attention that my playing for an Amma fundraiser to buy houses for the poor has caused some concern to some of my fans. Firstly let me assure you (and this goes out to the person who is most concerned about my happiness whom I shall refer to in this as Mr. X) - I belong to no cult. Nor do I belong to any religious organization, ... I BOW DOWN TO NONE!

I have, as Susie pointed out, dedicated and contributed to many a charity in my time and will continue to do so. I believe there is no offering more worthy than the offering of Love expressed through Service (yes, action is better than words). This might sound simple but it actually involves an enormous amount of self analysis, personal doubt and scrutiny, reading and meditating on and absorbing inspiring writings by those who have been greater examples of "offerings of Love" and moreover, practice, practice, practice every moment of the day and night the way of Love and Service - and even then I fail dismally and often feel it is hopeless. But that is my endaba as we say in Africa.

Now Mr. X, if I may address you directly. My favorite disciple of Yeheshua is Thomas - otherwise known as "Doubting Thomas". We are told that when Yeheshua told the disciples "where I am going you cannot go" all the disciples accepted this with out question, except for Thomas who said he didn't understand and wanted to know where exactly his Lord was going. Then when Yeheshua returned from the dead and appeared before his disciples all the disciples accepted this too, except for Thomas who said that he wouldn't believe it was his lord until he could place his finger inside the wounds on his Lords Hands. Now think about this "not until he could place his fingers inside the wounds" would he believe! It is written that he did this and then was his faith restored.

A.C. a man who is considered to be the wickedest human ever on the planet wrote to his students saying that they must "doubt all things with all their might, and then even doubt that they doubt". I recommend the same for everyone. I cannot help myself, I am most definitely a doubting Thomas and a curious skeptic who doubts all religious leaders of all faiths! I am "the monk who has no flame to persuade him" I aspire only unto Love in all the ways that Love makes itself known to me! On this I hope we understand each other?

Now Mr X, I sense very strongly that you are a Christian if not then I apologize. So let me speak to you of the way of Christianity. Did not the King of Kings say to us "judge not lest ye be judged" and furthermore "lest ye come as children ye cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven". A child has not the baggage of experience and the weight of fear that causes dogmatic judgments. Also a child because of its innocence does not label things good and bad. So I ask you to be as a child for a moment and put aside for a moment your judgment of Amma.

As you say her organization needs to be looked at a little closer. This is what I ask of you. Please, look a little closer! You say Amma has 100's of people cooking for her - If you look on the her website you will see that she sits sometimes for 22 hours giving people physical hugs, and if you look a little closer you will see that she does this day in and day out month after month and has for 30 plus years. Not always 22 hours but most times in that ball park. Tell me Mr X. where do you think she gets the time to enjoy the enormous meals that hundreds of people cook for her?! You will see however that those meals are in fact cooked for and served to the thousands of people who come and see her, whom she personally serves with her own hands! At her 50th birthday they had something like 7000 people just chopping vegetables and over those days she fed over 150 000 people for free! Now please understand Mr. X - I am not defending her, just sharing my point of view. I have seen Amma with my own eyes - I have been to her meetings and seen her and not once was I charged even a cent. So your facts are a little off the mark.

Also on the website and in fact someone showed me a booklet of all the charities that Amma initiated and supports, all the orphanages and the hospital that she has built. Her hospital which you can see photos of is absolutely unbelievable. Many a room has an extra bed for a family member of the sick person to sleep in and keep them company - what hospital in America has that? Furthermore the poor and needy get treated for free. There is also a cancer institute which you can see for yourself is very progressive in their treatment of cancer - they don't just sell their patients drugs and so on but treat the whole person "wholisticallyW which as statistics have it, is the best way to conquer cancer.

So when you say "I will cause others to fall into the false belief that this organization is worthy". The Ghandi award for peace is that also an unworthy organization or honor? Mr X. I beg you and dare you in the name of the Most High, to please, please look closer and report to me if there is any corruption or lies within the charitable services that Amma supports. And if you find them please tell me first so that we can tell the world that Amma is a mere liar and a fraud!

If you click on her website and go to the charities link you will see a beautiful quote by Amma "Compassion to the poor is our duty towards God". I think you would agree with this, wouldn't you Mr X? I think the Lord of Lords would also agree.

On the charities page is too much information for me to go through but I implore you to look a little closer at each one and read everything and tell us what you think. I think your Lord Yeheshua would be extremely proud of Amma and would have been her best friend and support. In fact I have heard Amma talk about Yeheshua and it would bring tears to your eyes how someone can have such a deep understanding and intimate love for the King of Love.

You expressed concern that Amma allows people to bow down to her. What I saw: she actually bows down to all people first - because she believes that the "kingdom of God" dwells within each person - so she bows down to her followers and they bow down to her - all with the idea that each person is an embodiment of truth and love and it is to that truth and love that they humbly bow down to. And then all she does is sing love songs to God and hug people. She tells her followers that the "divine mother resides in the hearts of all living beings" and that they must realize this - the fact that most of them don't is not her fault - the fact if some of them are confused and idol worshipping her - there is nothing she can do about that - it is their endaba!

More people have died at the hands of Christians and in the name of Christ than anything else - this does not make the Christ a mass murderer! But personally I am not concerned about all that - as I say I care only about the charities and especially the orphanages themselves because I was orphaned for most of my tender years and I know the loneliness of an orphan. If I could build my own orphanage I would. But since Amma is doing this I will support that. Perhaps you and I together one day in the spirit of brotherly love can go visit one of her orphanages and see what joy she has brought those kids. Furthermore was it not the desire of the great King of Love that we follow in his foot steps? - if so then should we not also support the rehabilitation of prostitutes as he did with Mary Magdeliene which is also what Amma is actually doing right now?

Furthermore Mr X you continue in your pride to compare her to Jones and to the Waco Texas dude. I believe that what differentiates the false prophet from the true prophet is intention. The false prophet seeks to harness all forces and powers to further his/her control over people for his or her own selfish materialistic and egoic needs. The true prophet seeks to extend the beneficent powers of the limitless light, through his/her personal activities to the end that the good of all humanity and all of life for that matter may be secured. If Amma's charities are sound, then her Actions do speak louder than her words, then Mr X, it is you who have blasphemed against all that Yeheshua died for on the cross. That is your endaba.

Lastly Mr X., in your arrogance you dared to preach unto our brother Andre saying: "BELIEVE what you want, but please do not ever follow anyone not even Robbi Robb blindly. Research, look, listen, for yourself. Then if you want to follow - follow away. But watch for the Actions and don't just believe the words. Words are just that words." Dear Mr X., have you done this "research" "for yourself" with regard to the Roman, Alexandrian and Constantine mutilations of the Bible? If not then I suggest that it is you who have fallen for the words of false prophets and who are following blindly. The documents included in the so-called New Testament, Mr X that is to say, the Four Gospels, the Acts, the Letters and Revelations are forgeries perpetrated by patriarchs of the Roman Church at the time of Constantine - which includes other shameless lies invented by the Roman patriarchs of the next three centuries, during which all historical records of the beginning of the "Christian era" were completely altered. For your own research, I refer you to:

ISIS UNVEILED, of Blavatsky, section on Christianity;
OUTLINES ON THE ORIGIN OF DOGMA, of Harnack.
DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, of Gibbon.
THE AGE OF CONSTANTINE THE GREAT, of Burckhardt.

You see, Mr. X, you have been judged because you have dared to judge. You judged a dear friend to the poor and someone you personally have never seen or heard or touched. Nevertheless, you are right - words are just words - so I say unto you as you have said unto our brother Andre: DO NOT EVER FOLLOW ANYONE BLINDLY!

Thank you very much for your concern - we really do appreciate your doubting and that you expressed it to us. Thank you. All we ask of you is "put your fingers in the wound" which means - Look as closely as you can look, and then, look even closer!

For it is eternally true that the word makes itself flesh;
and at this very moment, dwells within us.
goodness and gladness
and love be with you
Robbi
