SD,
I haven`t been so much passing judgment here as just trying to get the data out. People mostly don`t know it as a result of consistent deliberate efforts by the `faithful` to keep it that way.
Thanks for your […] -

Whether professing celibacy or not, most, if not all of these stories were shrouded in secrecy with the gurus attempting to cover-up, commonly using various levels of coercion and threat. If there was no cover-up […]

@Satchit, You are right about gurus doing it to get girls.
It is statistically demonstrable that the majority of gurus do actually go for their female disciples, ranging from long-term to Whambamthankyoumam […] -

I fear for those England football hooligans in Munchen.
If they run into Madhu, they`ll be coming home alright.
In an air ambulance! -

@Satchit.
I can imagine Osho sitting in an Indian picture house in the early 60s watching this one and thinking: “This God needs his own religion. Hold my chai.” -

Klaus,
Good point. The world of cultists versus anti-cultists is highly polarized.
Despite the interesting and useful writings of anti-cultists such as in the book ‘The Guru Papers’, it is easy to forget how, […] -

Klaus,
Agreed.
If you`re going to join a cult, join the best one going!

Klaus,
I don`t think that the stories of Cheatanananda and Osho are identical.
Maybe enough similarity to cause some discomfort.
‘Keep what you can and leave the rest’, as Anubodh suggested, holds true, I would […] -

Perfectly correct, Klaus,
Cheatanananda learned everything he knows from his time in Bungabungalore ashram!
He was an exemplary student and a great master. His work should be studied closely by anyone wishing to […] -

Swami Bhorat says:
Certainly, negative attitude of baboons like SD is understandable as it is very difficult for western baboons to understand master/disciple relationship!
By knocking female disciples about […]

But he was saying so much stuff.
He also said he had to throw Buddha`s disembodied spirit out of his jacuzzi, he was getting attacked by black magicians who could never be found, and he was turning the gas up to […]

To clarify:
Gaslighting is an insidious manipulative tactic that works to distort and erode your sense of reality. It eats away at your ability to trust yourself and inevitably disables you from being able to call […] -

NP,
Yes, it seems to follow the logic of a recovering addict having a fix to check that he`s still clean.Maybe those well-known experts on egolessness and eastern occultism, Satchit and Shanti, could […]

The problem with the idea of a fraud or a fake is that it implies that there is an objective and provably genuine item that the fake is imitating.
With coins, notes, artworks, watches this is a relatively simple […]

In the orange/red days, it was a simple case of heart = surrender and mind = resistance. You would have thought that after the shenanigans at the Ranch people may have started to question such simplistic notions.

The heart/mind thing reminds me of a clip from ‘Four Lions’, a (very) black comedy about some inept suicide bombers, where one of them has doubts just as they are about to do the […]
