Bangaru Adigalar (3 March 1941 – 19 October 2023) was an Indian spiritual guru and the president of the Adiparasakthi Charitable Medical Educational and Cultural Trust. He was called "Amma", meaning mother in Tamil, by his followers and devotees of the Adhiparasakthi temple.[1][2][3]

Adigalar was believed by his followers to be the Poorna Avatar (holding all 16 qualities of an Avatar) as well as the incarnation of the supreme power Adhiparasakthi. Adigalar treated his followers equally, regardless of gender, caste, or religion.[4]
