		Ammachi is indefatigable, or at least physical fatigue seems to weigh little on her.

	Guru Ratings, Visitor Feedback (Partisan) – Ammachi
		OTOH, as anyone who's hung around Ammachi for any length of time knows, her capacity is over the top, not only in quantity (hugs per annum) but quality (sublime heart-opening, playful synchronicity, ass-kicking power).
		Why this is, I don't know; maybe she wants to set a clean example for her householder devotees, but is willing/able to work with the funky tantric types as well, if only in the background.
		Given that, I'd certainly give Ammachi 3.5 stars under your system, hell, even 4 stars, if the definition were modified to allow for an exceptionally high capacity albeit with limited flexibility.

		Every time the coma lifted, however, she would call for me. This was a surprise, as she had instructed me years before that when she reached the end of her life I was not to come to the hospital, nor was I to attend her funeral.
		During darshan, Ammachi individually hugs all who come to her.) As the time for the tour came closer, it became obvious to me that he would die while Ammachi was in our country.
		I felt grateful to be in a place where I could have Ammachi’s support and the support of many friends as I grieved the loss of the fantasy that he would eventually be willing to engage with me. I was in awe of the timing of this experience.
