Summary: Book should be called Path of Savitir not the Mother
Review: Having seen Amritanandamayi (Ammachi) every year since 1987, I found this book to be disappointing. There is too much me, me, me, I, I, I, in this book. The book is too much about this author's emotional problems and how Ammachi's influence affect her. Why would anyone be interested in this person? She's not famous or anything. If you want to know more about Ammachi and her influence on people in the world I suggest buying the well written book: Amma, Healing the Heart of the World.

Summary: diving for pearls
Review: My husband and I both loved this book. After eleven years with Ammachi, we recognized our own path in these pages. Ammachi is like a vast ocean full of treasures, and Savitri Bess has surfaced with many pearls to offer her readers. Bess brings years of spiritual and psychological experience to nuance her subject, and also much awareness of the goddess tradition and her own travels in India as well. She also brings in other examples of Divine Motherhood to enlarge our picture of who Ammachi can be for us in our time. Charming stories, well-written. EXCELLENT choice of quotations from Ammachi. Two thumbs up!

Summary: The Path of the Mother
Review: Om Amriteswarye Namah!The Path of the Mother: With the Divine Guidance of the Holy Mother, Ammachi, written by Savitri L. Bess is fabulous! I hope to convey to those who have not yet read it the awesome power and love within its pages. This book is profound! From the first word I was engrossed and became encouraged. Savitri, with Mothers divine guidance, was successful in helping me take my first baby steps onto the path of the Mother, and so far it has been an inspirational and awkening spiritual journey. The book introduces the reader to The Divine Mother not only in Her beloved form as Sri Sri Mata Amritanandamayi, but introduces us to Her in the forms of several other female divine beings. By the books middle, all fear and anxiety within me about experincing God as Mother had dissipated. I knew God was validating, and even urging me, to seek Him out as a Her, and now (by Her grace), I am able to worship Her as BOTH Him and Her! They are equal to me as they are One. Not only does Savitri pack this incredible book with the biography's of other female sages, but she gives us tangible, insightful and helpful art projects and writing projects to aid us in bringing out some of our deeply supressed inner thoughts and emotions. I am so incredibly thankful to Mother for inspiring Savitri with this work, and I am thankful to Savitri for allowing Mother to use Her in this fashion. I know that each person who reads this book will derive from it exactly what The Divine Mother intends. --Beneath Her Lotus Feet--

Summary: Very Beautiful work on the path to the Divine Mother
Review: The author has done a great job in tracking the path to the Mother aspect of God- The Divine Mother . She has used as her fundamental example her own experiences with Ammachi, the Great Saint from South India who is widely revered as a modern day Embodiment of the Divine Mother. Very nicely written book, full of love and very nice pictures of Ammachi.
