Holy Hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion, and Pure Madness is a memoir authored by Gail Tredwell, a former devotee of Amritanandamayi about the two decades of her life as a disciple of the Indian Guru. The working title of the book was 'For the Love of God: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion and Pure Madness'.[1]
Months after the book was published, the allegations in the book against the guru and Ashram led to a major scandal. Police cases were filed against individuals for allegedly defaming Amritanandamayi.[2][3] A petition was filed in the High Court of Kerala requesting a CBI probe into the allegations raised in the book.[4]
