Chasing the Avatar (Descent) (Descent (Destiny Image)) ReviewWorthy of her Harvard Education, Jovan Jones writes in a poetic, briskly paced, and original style. I could not put this book down. She has written a powerful, true to life account, that literally thousand's can relate to from their own experiences.
I have lived in Amritapuri, India and traveled with Ammachi. This book is A MUST READ for anyone who has been a devotee or thinking about becoming one. "Chasing the Avatar" will be shocking for those seeking enlightenment with a so called "Avatar".
Jovan writes brilliantly, and personally, through the eyes of a Christian, but relevant from any religious background, or context. This tale attests to the reality that destructive cults can arise in religious as well as secular organizations.
Jovan was brought up Christian, but was also a "spiritual seeker" in her early adult life. And naturally curious. She, like so many, could not see the danger going in. As the main character, Maya (Jovan) learns, spiritual quests are not without danger,
Thank God that Maya, grew up in a loving, spiritual household. Without that, I don't think she would have lived to tell her story. If you are a Devotee reading this, I mean no offense to you. Many committed, wonderful people can be deceived, and are being deceived. I am one of them. Amma, is playing god. No question about that. She demands submission, also. She "is" the only "authority" in her twisted and, at times, disgusting world.
I know of the 9 deaths at the Ashram that were not investigated. That doesn't include the other mysterious deaths, of devotees, who died when they were outside the Ashram in India. Some of those deaths were predicted by Ammachi. Some said: "oh Amma told him not to go to Varkala, He fell off the cliff, on the first day". " Amma knows everything". etc. Many of these kinds of stories are circulating at all times. Little mythologies, that all boil down to one thing: worshiping Ammachi, as god. No Devotee of hers can deny it. They openly worship her as god. Their god. Even if some can't quite get that she "created everything" they still ritualistically worship her. Mindlessly. Unquestioningly.
I am a witness to Amma's rage, and cruelty also, and I will not soon forget it. Thank God for you, Jovan! for telling it like it is, in a way, that for me was emotionally gripping, and sometimes terrifying, Thank you for telling my story through your's.
I am greatful, that you have exposed the dark side of the so called "Hugging saint"
Thank You!Chasing the Avatar (Descent) (Descent (Destiny Image)) OverviewMaya is a young woman with extraordinary prospects drowning in intense discontent. In the midst of this discontent, she meets Cha Ma, a guru. Immediately, she comes to believe that Cha Ma is an avatara human incarnationof the goddess Kali, the most malevolent, destructive of all Hindu deities. Spellbound, Maya runs off to India to live in Cha Mas ashram as a Hindu. Her choice hurls her parents, Paul and Marie, into a battle far beyond their wildest imagination for they must fight for their daughters life, and even her soul, as she teeters on the edge.
