Yes, Frank. A few friends have been doing DNA testing to see what gene pools they are related to. One friend did it and found out she had been adopted. Last week she travelled to USA to meet her biological parents […]

Shantam, “And you have not written that name, what does it show?”

It illustrates that you are talking nonsense again. Many western names have ancient religious significance…you can ask John and Mary about it.

Shantam states, “Most of our western names are just sounds.”
This is completely untrue. As an example I will supply the meanings of my given name.

First name indicates the area in the north of Scotland where I […]

If nationalists possess racist tendencies toward foreigners of colour, how much better do they feel toward their fellow countrymen who don’t happen to look like them? One can hear the dog whistle blow. Are even […]

Considering Shantam’s latest output, it is maybe not a bad idea for him to drop SN. He’s dropped everything else, including his trousers.

Hi Kavita, compassion is needed on many levels.

Quite so, Frank. What puzzles me is what prompts Shantam to make such an ass of himself? Is it a simple case of needing to draw attention to himself at any cost?

I daresay no Sikh organization would welcome a […]

Shantam says, “When intellect is not fully developed it plays the Race card.”

Exactly. That is why you keep playing it to death.

I can now add cynicism and arrogance to confused in my description of Shantam’s character.
He says, “India Syndrome fits with you and all other foreigners who changed their names to Indian ones.”

What a […]

Hi Frank,
I read the article. Reminded me of the time I ran the sannyasin meditation centre in Chapora, Goa, back in the mid-seventies. People would bring flip-outs to the centre to see if they could be helped in […]

Shantam’s article is as mixed-up as the 21st Century. I can only conclude that he is confused. Mid-life crisis? Identity crisis? From a distance, one can only speculate. It’s anyone’s guess what exactly his […]

Worship of Bes spread as far north as the area of Syria, east to Poona One, and as far west as the Balearic Islands (Ibiza) in Spain, and later into the Roman and Achaemenid Empires. Apart from her new temple […]

Yes, Frank, I have to chuckle thinking about the temple of Bes story. It was completely nuts, Ibiza style. The guy who built the place is quite a legendery figure in these parts. He put his stone mason skills, […]

Goddess worship continues in Ibiza today, although limited to a narrow neck of the woods.

There are two female deities left over from the Phonecians that people know about. Tanit and Bes, from which came the […]

Bookworthy post. Unfortunately, uploaded final updates.

Sexy photo. Very explicit!

Shantam declares, “Before I go away from sannyasnews again, one article will be on the way, my last for 2022.”

Looks like 2022 is getting off to a good start.

Shantam, I’m not exactly sure why you continually grind your axe here on SN. It is a bit repetitive, to say the least, with very little in the way of sparks, just a lot of complaining, cynicism, bitterness and so […]

I really cannot say I had some sort of investment in sannyas. Just not my kind of language. I had lots of fun, adventures, mysteries and a whole lot of positive things. But an investment. Never.

Shantam, the whistleblower, says, “People invest massive sums of money in the hope that one day it will.” I suppose that is true.

What massive sums of money did you invest, Shantam? It is a no-brainer. None.
