Transcendental Meditation
Founder:
Guru Maharishi Mahest Yogi, born in 1911, as Mahesh Brasad Warma, at Jabalpur,
India. Started TM in 1965 at Los Angeles (USA), and his actual headquarters
are in the luxurious old Hotel Sonnenberg, at Seelisberg, Switzerland.
Followers:
TM claims 2 million people, in 140 countries;
with one million it the USA, and 8,000 people in each one of the other 139
countries?... it does not make much sense!...
It is a "religion"... and "big business":
TM is a "religion" based on the Hindu "Raja Yoga" (pag.82), to obtain the
Buddhist "enlightenment (pag.109), here called "cosmic consciousness",
"complete god consciousness" and "unity consciousness", in the different
"stages".
- The Vedas and the Gita are "indispensable".
- It is a full-life project: You will spend on it all your life and money...
with the assurance that, at the end, you will be liberated from reincarnation.
The Maharishi ("Great Sage"),
Became millionaire in the 70s, with the help of
the Beatles, making $20 million a year; founded the Maharishi International
University in Fairfield (Iowa, USA), he uses 2 Rolls Royces and a personal
Helicopter; recently he has bought a 1,000-acre former Air base in Suffolk,
New York to be turned into a Natural Law University. In 1993 he announced the
plans to create a $879 million amusement park in Niagara Falls and a dozen
universities in Canada, one in each province.
-The ultimate goal of the Yogi is to lead eventually all humanity to Unity
Consciousness... and "there will not be a place for the unfit in the "age of
Enlightenment", says the Maharishi.
The Method:
The idea of TM is to transcend the conscience
through 7 levels of consciousness, each one obtained by attending an expensive
course.
-The essence of the "method" is the Raja Yoga to obtain the Buddhist
"enlightenment" (pags. 82 and 109):
To suppress your "mind", "body" and "character", using "mantras" on a sitting
position, for long hours, until your mind gives up and your body is numb, and
all of it being humiliated by a guru... until the "crisis" comes... then, your
"human mind" gives up, and you are left with your "animal mind", without
worries about yesterday or tomorrow... and after 73,500 minutes, and several
thousands of dollars, you get the "crisis", the Buddhist "enlightenment"; the
ultimate "unity consciousness", in MT.
The "Mantra":
Just to receive the "mantra" costs money, and it
is so individual that it can not be told not even to the wife, she has to pay
for her mantra!... they have 16 mantras, and all of them are the name of a
Hindu-god, in sanskrit, of whom the student knows nothing... the student has
to repeat the same name thousands of times... and for 40 minutes every day for
life after his initiation... and read the Gita daily.
- Please, get out of TM, come to "Jesus"... that's a good mantra, and is
the real God!... and costs you nothing!
The success:
TM had great success in the 70s with the
enrollment of the Beatles, Mia Farrow, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys... but later
the Beatles left MT, concluding, "we were wrong", with John accusing the
Maharishi of being a "lecherous womanizer"... and the Maharishi headed home to
India, saying "I know I have failed, my mission is over".
- But his mission was not over... he came back very soon to the West dropping
the religious terminology in favor of psychological and scientific language:
So, the "Spiritual Regeneration Movement" became the "International Meditation
Society", the "Science of Creative Regeneration Movement", the "World Plan
Executive Council", the "Student International Meditation Society", "American
Foundation for Creative Intelligence", "American Meditation Society"...
The Propaganda...
"To fly" like Peter Pan:
-The propaganda pamphlets are incredible: They offer peace, health, success...
to the individual, society, and the world... to end with crime, drugs, prisons
and hospitals... TM claims that its leaders have 50% less cancer, 80% less
heart decease, higher IQs, and provides potential cures for Aids and cancer.
... And all of this doing nothing... just repeating the mantra thousands of
times!...
- The advanced "Shidhi Program" ("occult powers"), offers the ability to walk
through walls like the Resurrected Jesus, become invisible and levitate... "to
fly", just like Peter Pan!... but only about 6 inches from the floor... and
even so, offers by the press of up to $10,000 to witness a meditator wing have
gone unclaimed... and this "Shadhi" only can be taken after paying for the
other 7 expensive courses...
TM claims it is not a religion:
Several Courts in the USA have ruled TM as a
"religion"... and even the "Initiation" is idolatrous worship: The initiation
song is devotional Hindu hymn. Then the instructor invokes the Hindu gods and
presents 17 offers to the different Hindu gods, praise them and adores them...
and after that he whispers the secret mantra the initiate...
Reason for the success of MT:
The main reason for the success of the MT is not
the "anti-meditation" with the mantra... but the huge, well done propaganda,
and the action of the "devil", the false god invoked thousands of times, who
possesses the initiate, giving him all kinds of wicked deceptions and
hallucinations.
- The Bible teaches that every "false god" is an "idol", a "devil" (Psalm
96:5)... and furthermore warns us about "the working of Satan, who uses all
power, signs, lying wonders, and every kind of wicked deception for those who
are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved"
(2Tes.2:9-10).
- Get out of TM... come to "Jesus", He is the real God... and He is in love
you!... let yourself to be loved... He is waiting for you in the Eucharist
every day! (Jn.6:53, Matt.6:11).
- Jesus died in the Cross to clean all your sins, all your bad Karma... and
"resurrected" to give you a new life on earth full of peace, joy and love...
and after living the glorious adventure of Christ on earth, you will go to
eternal real Heaven, without any reincarnation...
- Believe in Jesus, right now... by doing the simple things He tells you to
do... Baptize yourself in His only Church... receive him daily in the
Eucharist,, because if you do not eat his flesh you have no life (Jn.6:53)...
and live on earth with fear to nobody and to nothing, doing the glorious deeds
of a child of God... the most glorious adventure of a person filled with the
Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ.
- "TM" is only a scheme to make money... based on the Hindu Raja Yoga to
obtain the Buddhist Enlightenment...
- Get out of it while you can... or it will take all your life and money...
- Come to "Jesus", the best mantra... and He is really God... right now at
your side.
Hare Krishna
International Society
of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)
By His Divine Grace Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhuda,
born in Calcutta, India, as Abhay Charan De. He came to New York with $8 in
his pocket, and 11 years later, in 1977, he died of heart failure, after
setting up a multi-million-dollar business empire with 40 temples and 3,000
followers in the USA alone.
- Today, they claim a membership of 2 million, but the Center Roger Ikor of
Paris puts it at 15,000 devotees worldwide.
- The headquarters are now at 3764 Watseka Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90034, USA.
The "Krishna Consciousness",
Consists in committing yourself totally for life
to Krishna; to live in Krishna, and Krishna in you... something similar to
Christianity!... until you reach a Heaven similar to Christianity, after many
reincarnations...
The "devotees" are the most pitiful people...
for 2 reasons:
1- The "god Krishna", to whom they commit
their lives, never existed... he is only a hero-warrior of the "Gita", the
18th chapter of the "novel Mahabaratha", written in 100 AC. And their other
"god Rama" never existed, he is only a hero of the "novel Ramayana"... but
they never existed, and they do not exist right now... they are like Hamlet or
Sherlock Holmes... never existed!... only in the minds of the novelists!.
- And on top of it, Krishna, in the novel, is a "erotic-god", with a favorite
mistress named Radha, and 16,108 gopis ("women cowherds"), and the good
"god-Krishna" fathered 10 children with each one of them over a period of 125
years!. This is the reason why the Krishnas ware a necklace-rosary with "108
beats", to chant the mantra "Hare Krishna" 108 times, and repeat it "16 times
a day", with a total of 1,728 times per day.
- The "mantra" "Hare Krishna",
has also "16 words": "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
Krishna, Krishna, Hare Hare; Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare":
"Hare" means "the supreme energy of the Lord".
2- The second reason why the Krishna devotees are pitiful, is because
they have a Spartan poor suffering life, with six hours of sleep daily, hard
work and prayer, and very strict sexual life, while their teachers live in
super-luxury, surrounded by many women, following the example of the 16,108
lovers Krishna had, and, in the name of Krishna, have done anything bad you
can think of: Murder, drug-running, sexual abuse, theft, deception, extortion,
suicide... you name it!.
Eleven Jurisdictions:
In 1977, at the death of Bhaktivedanta, the rich Krishna Empire divided into 11 independent Jurisdictions, with 11 Gurus:
In the USA:
Kirtanananda had a dream to create "America's Taj
Mahal"; so he built a huge "Palace of Gold" in West Virginia, with 200 tons of
marble, with the dome roof and outside walls coated with 22 carat gold leaf...
all of it with money the devotes gave and made, with the traffic of drugs,
charity schemes, asking money for the poor, orphans, widows...
-Chakradara was murdered because he opened a nursery and the money was not
going to the guru...
- and later, Kirtanananda himself as attacked by a disgruntled follower who
sank a spike into his guru's skull; Kirtanananda survived, but walks with
sticks since, and keeps 2 Alsatian dogs with him at all times, day and
night...
In England: The guru Jayatirtha was murdered by his disciple
Tiernan because he was using LSD to obtain the ecstatic dances, and because he
had a harem at home... Tiernan is in a mental hospital.
In Australia:
The guru in charge was expelled for practicing homosexuality... but continues to act as a guru, and runs his empire in Mafia stile.In Japan:
The Guru Kripa, an American ex-Marine sergeant, developed more money-making-scams than anyone else. He taught his followers to pickpocket, rob jewelry stores... he was eventually jailed in Holland... but since 1981 he can be seen chanting in ISKCON temples in America.The Life of a Krishna:
With all of this going on, still about 15,000
devotees try to obtain "Krishna Consciousness", using 3 methods:
...1- Obeying a Guru, who is like god for them.
...2- Live a very austere life: They sleep 6 hours on a hard floor, no
alcohol, no meat, no fish, no conversation unrelated to Krishna. They give up
all possessions. If anyone tries to talk with them out of Krishna, he is of
Satan. Live in celibacy until marriage, and then they can have sex only after
repeating the mantra for 5 hours.
...3- Chant the mantra for at least 5 hours daily, pray the Gita, receive
indoctrination, and hard work!.
"Theo-sophy"
, means "divine wisdom"; and it is any system of thought concerned with the relationship between God and the creation, specially one intended to help man achieve direct experience of the divine.The Theosophical Society
was founded in New York in 1875 by the Ukraine born Madame Blavatsky and the American Col. Henry S. Olcott. Today they claim 25,000 members in 60 countries, with 6,000 in the USA... but its influence far transcends the boundaries of its own ranks, influencing the New Age Movement, the Rosacrucians, the Anthropological Society, the "I Am" Ascended Masters, New Thought...- Headquarters: In Adyar, Madras, India.... In the USA: with many divisions, Box 270, Wheaton, IL; Box 1543, Fresno, CA 93716.
Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky:
Born Helen Hahn, married to the Czarist general Nikifor V.
Blavatsky; her marriage lasted 3 months, and she gave birth to an illegitimate
son. She was addicted to hashish, and claimed psychic powers of the occult,
but she was declared a fraud in India and London. She died as a lonely, obese,
and miserable sick women who was considered a fake and deserted by most of her
followers.The 3 Aims of the Society:
As stated by Madame Blavatsky in "Isis Unveiled"
and "The Secret Doctrine", look noble to the outsiders:
1- To promote universal brotherhood and world peace, without distinction
of race, creed, sex, case, color, or financial status.
2- The study of comparative religions, philosophy and science.
3- To make a systematic investigation of the mystic potencies of men and
nature: Investigate the unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in
man.
The Doctrine of the Society:
Is a mix of Hinduism, Buddhism, Spiritualism, and Gnostic
Christianity, with Masonic rituals, and a systematic criticism of
Christianity, Judaism and Islam... all based in the visions and revelations
that Mme. Blavatsky had by the "mahatnas" of Tibet, and the Spiritualism she
lived in the USA.The "Mahatnas"
are the "Great White Fraternity", among them, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus... and the theosophians try to get in contact with them by means of all kinds of occultism...God
is just "energy"; however, there are a plethora of Hindu gods, to whom you have to put altars at home... and, anyway, every man and woman are "God"... though they can not make stars nor atoms!... but through many reincarnations they will realize that they are "God".- "Jesus Christ" was divine in the same way that you and I are divine; and eventually, every man and woman become Christ!...
The Bible and Koran:
Are god... but good for nothing!... The "hot
Hell" is a distortion of an astronomical allegory; however "Hell" exists as a
purgatory type of existence where souls await another chance in a new
reincarnation...
... And with all of this, they teach that "there exists a "red threat" that
runs throughout all religions and binds them together"!...
Get out of the Theosophical Society... It is a system of the Devil, with
poison wrapped in caramel... gross errors dressed with nice thoughts...
Theosophy was revived in America:
Under the leadership of William Q. Judge, an
Irish-American convert... and attracted the likes of George Bernard Shaw,
Thomas Edison, William Butler Yeats, Doubleday (founder of Baseball)...
- Mrs. Katherine Tingley took charge of the American branch when Judge died.
She founded "The Homestead", a lodge in Point Loma, San Diego, Calif., with
initiates from 25 countries, who lived in community and turned over their
money to Mrs. Tingley.
- Mrs. Annie Besant took control in 1907, and she founded in India a college
of Theosophy which became the University of Benares. In America she played a
trump card for Krishnamurti when she announced that he was the reincarnation
of Christ, the messiah the world was waiting for, and traveled with him
throughout Europe and the USA. She founded the "Order of the Star".
- Both, Katherine and Annie died, the Homestead went bankrupt and the faithful
remnant moved to Pasadena, Calif.
Alice Bailey,
a student of Theosophy, was the one to give the name to the "New Age".Shirhan Shirhan,
the assassin of Robert Kennedy, was a student of Theosophy.Today:
Recent interest in the occult and the New Age has
swelled the ranks of this organization that looked like death a few years
ago...
- Current President of the Theosophical Society of America is John Coates, who
remaining true to the vision of Blavatsky, encourages modern Theosophists to
dabble in contemporary occult phenomena such as Kirlian photography and
psychokinesis. The Society is fragmented with headquarters in America in
Wheaton, Ill, and 4 places in California: Los Angeles, Fresno, Pasadena, and
Covina.
New Age...
New Age
"EST": "Erhard Seminars Training"... the Forum
"est", "the Forum", , was founded in 1971 by a Philadelphian, Jack Rosenberg, who chanced his name into a German one: Werner Erhard.
- It is "Zen Buddhism"... The 3 days "Seminars" were making up to $16 million a year. Each Seminar attended by 250 people paying $250... until 1985 when Erhard announced the burial of "est" and the birth of "The forum".
The "Seminar", is a group therapy session, and, as in Zen, the idea is to break down your personality by harassment and intimidation, and to destroy your "human mind" until you are left with your "animal mind"... until you "get it"!...
... A trainer begins immediately to abuse the audience verbally with repeated obscenities... until some people had vomiting, urinated, and even convulsed. All ago defenses are ridiculed by means of demeaning epithets hurled at anyone who resists the tactics of the trainer. The only relieve is when the "meditation practices" come lying down in the floor... all of this for 60 hours until you "get it"...
... And what "you get", when you are all fed up, and your mind gives up, is "to know that you are God"... even if you don't know how to make stars or insects!... but "you are God"!... you are your own God, the center of the universe...
It is the same aim of the "New Age", the same old lie of Satan of Ge.3:4, "you will be like God"... and, like God, the trainee believes himself to be omnipotent, omniscient, immortal... like God!... his word is "the word"...
- Logical thinking is forbidden, and terminology is twisted. "Being" is more important than "doing". "Wrong" is actually a version of "right"... truths and errors are all mixed up in "est".
John Denver, an est advocate, extols Erhard's vies of life in his song "Looking for Space".
Elemental psychology can easily recognize est's potential for creating serious "psychosis"... and even "demonic possession" can occur in such a psychologically defenseless state.
- Like the New Age, it is a "spiritual AIDS", that takes away the defenses of the individual, by destroying the immune system of humility...
In life you can succeed two ways:
Being with God, or being with Satan. If you are with Satan, you have to have "pride", "arrogance"... and you will succeed, but you will never have peace... If you are with God, you have to be "humble"... and you will succeed in life even more... and you will have peace... and after death, you will go to eternal Heaven...
"The Forum",
is the same staff than est, emphasizing "dialogue". Here, instead of "get it", is about "making it happen"... and "being" is the magic of Forum, but the same thing, "being God", even if you don't know how to make atoms!ORDER OF THE SOLAR TEMPLE In the two Swiss mass suicides of October 1996, 53 members of the cult died; among them, a mayor, a journalist, a civil servant, and a sales manager.
- The 69-year-old Joseph Di Mambro, from France, is the leader of the Solar Temple. He founded a school in the south border of Switzerland, near France, called the "Center For The Preparation For The New Age", and moved to Canada following tax problems in France, and for practicing psychology without a license.
- Computer records seized by Canadian police in Montreal showed that some members had personally donated over $1 million to the cult, and the respectability of these followers' public life was in massive contrast to the bizarre small cult they had joined.
- The Order of the Solar Temple is based on Hinduism "Reincarnation". Di Mambro claims to have had a previous life as a member of the Knight's Temple during the Crusades. During the ceremonies, the members ware Crusade-type robes, and hold in awe a sword Di Mambro said had been given to him 1,000 years ago... "death" represents for them an essential stage of life.
HEAVEN'S GATE

AUM SHINRIKYO
- Aum is an action-pack affair, one of the
183,000 cults in Japan, with contacts in Russia and Korea. Its 10,000 members
form a strict hierarchy of 13 levels with specially colored uniforms. It is
based on Reincarnation and Shinto doctrines... and Hitler's methods!.
- The police discovered manuals outlining which type of recruits were most
likely to give the most money for their warfare against the world; in the
office of Asahara they found $10 million in cash.
RAJNEESHISM
Founded
by Bhagwan Rajneesh (1931-90), which means "Sir God", but Rajneesh translates it as "master of the vagina".. he is the India's "sex guru", and HE is he is also famous for his fleet of Rools-Royces (11 to 96), and his private plane.- Rajneesh:
Was a Professor of Philosophy at the University
of Jabalpur, India, and in 1974 left his position to open an ashram in
Poona, south of Bombay, India, where 50,000 Americans made the pilgrimage.
In 1981 opened another one in Oregon, USA, at the price of $6 million, with
a form of meditation which involved nudity, sex, and making loud noises,
with their pink robes...
- In 1981 Rajneesh fled Poone because of charges of income tax evasion, and
he had to leave Oregon on charges of visa fraud and arranging sham
marriages.
- Today:
They used to be 600 Osho Centers of Communities, only 20 are left... Today, after his death in 1990, of probably Aids, he has influence through his "books", and the 20 Oshos left... hiss posthumous empire have been taken by financial opportunissts...- Rajneeshism,
is a "prostitution of Hinduism", and indeed a "prostitution of any religion"... because for Rajneesh "you are God", and you are the only one who decides the Commandments for your life: If you decide that it is good to kill, or to still, or to live in adultery... do it!... because it is the "Law of God", "your Law", the only God!.| Can you make stars and atoms?... God can!. |

SRI
CHINMOY
Chinmoy,
has established a headquarters in the United Nations where he supervises the bimonthly U.N. meditation program. Born in West Bengal, India, he tries to blend the East and West.- He claims to have completed 16,000 paintings in one day, and 843 poems in 24 hours.
- Two rock players, Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin, follow the guru in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Australia.
-Chinmoy's way to God is by devotion and surrender to one's guru, with the Hindu doctrine of Hatha Yoga, vegetarianism, and meditation.
DIVINE LIGHT MISSION
-Founded
in 1970 by the guru Maharaj Ji, born in Hardwar, India: The only pathway to God is by submission to an "avatar", a "guru who is god"... this "Perfect Master" is Maharaj Ji, who sits in his throne with the crown of Krishna, and replaced Jesus... Ji is the Holy Spirit... but now he has "duodenal ulcer", living in the placid splendor of a large mansion in Malibu, California.The way:
Is the "Four-fold Procedure": ...
1- Blinding light: Seeing God with the "third eye", when the guru presses the temples and eyes of the initiate. ...
2- Hearing celestial music: Hearing God with the "third ear", when the guru presses the ears. ...
3- Tasting the divine nectar of God: When the guru puts its finger into the initiate throat. ...
4- Sensing the vibrations of God: When the initiate is left almost unconscious after severe hyperventilation... rhythmic breathing for hours!. ...
And all this, after the initiate had listened to long sermons for extended hours, and being manipulated by auto-suggestive hypnosis.
"Festivals, or lilas", are organized where audiences are doused with water and red paint, like the one in the Astrodome in 1973. In the USA: -In the seventies was one the largest imported cults in the USA, with 480 DLM centers, and 35,000 members. The "Divine Times" magazine was distributed in 66 countries. Today, there are 3,000 members in the USA, with 80 centers.
- Address: DLM, Box 532, Denver, CO 80201.
VEDANTA SOCIETY
Formed in New York,
in 1895 by Swami Vivekenanda, after addressing the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago in 1893. It was the first Hindu organization to be established in the USA; many cults today are but the fruition of this landmark event.Today,
there are 150 Vedanta centers in the world; 124 in India, 13 in the USA with 1,500 members, who influenced Aldoux Huxley, Gertrude Stein, and Gerald Heard. The Address: VS, 1946 Vedanta Place, Hollywood, CA 90068.The Doctrine:
Is taken from Sri Ramakrishna, the teacher of
Vivekenanda, one of the most famous gurus in India in the 19th century, and
teaches that "all religions lead to the same goal, namely, the realization
of God: It is like the "water", the Hindus call it "jal", the Muslims call
it "pani", but it is all the same... the basic philosophy is "unity among
religions", with the believe that every nation has its own unique
contribution to bring to the world, and when such is offered up, that nation
goes into decline.
- However, "Hinduism" is the basic foundation of the Vedanta Society: To
escape from reincarnation, with the Vedas as the authority. Jesus is one of
many, but not the only God; the main problem is ignorance, and not sin...
... And when it proclaims that "Asia produces giants in spirituality, just
as the Occident produces giants in politics and science", it is forgetting
the names of Jesus, Mohammed, Moses, St. Therese...
KRISHNAMURTI FOUNDATION OF AMERICA
It was not founded by Krishnamurti, but by the
Theosophy leader Annie Besant when she proclaimed on 1907 that Krishnamurti
was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and the Messiah the world was waiting
for... the "Order of the Star of the East" was created, with a periodical,
"Herald of the Star"... with 100,000 members.
- Krishnamurti rejected all these claims, and the essence of his massage is
that "all problems could be solved when human beings achieve a "right
relationship" with each other.... just look within for the incorruptibility
of self". He disdains devotees, but still conducts world tours, sponsored
mainly by the Theosophists and New Age groups.
ECKANKAR
"Eckankar",
means "co-worker with God" founded by John Paul Twitchell in 1965, with 50,000 followers, or 3 million. Twitchell suddenly died in 1971 of heart attack, and the leader now is Sri Darwin Gross. Address: Box 3100, Menlo Park, CA 94024.Based
on Hindu teachings of karma and reincarnation, plus the experiences of Twitchell with the occult, and as a staff member in the Church of Scientology.The promotional pamphlets you may pick up in a local grocery store offer the intriguing "ancient science of soul-travel", the "everlasting gospel", and the "one true source of all religions"... False!.
BUBBA FREE JOHN
Franklin Jones,
born in Boston, 1939, changed his name to Bubba Free John, and claims to be nothing less that an incarnation of God, a guru to be worship... the first American-born SIDDHA, with headquarters in New York City.He experienced with LSD, studied at Columbia and Stanford, and at a Lutheran Seminary.
He went to India, had apparitions of the Virgen Mary, and founded the "Free Primitive Church of Divine Communion", the "Free Community Order", and the "Laughing Man Institute".
- The Doctrine,
is Hinduism, specially the Advaita Vedanta,
with salvation coming through total devotion to the guru, namely, Bubba
John!.
... But he also performs miracles, causing violent thunderstorms, and
amazing supernatural phenomena, similar to those in demonism, and classical
spiritualism.
HANUMAN FOUNDATION
Another American!... the Jewish Bostonian Psychiatry Professor at Harvard,
Dr. Richard Alpert, tries in 1961 LSD with his friend, Professor Timothy
Leary. He went to India, and became a guru, with the name Baba Ram Dass.
In 1974 he founded "Hanuman", after the monkey-god of the Ramayana. He wrote
"Be Here Now"; emphasizes "to live each moment meaningfully" ... but a guru
is needed!... Baba!... because each person needs a special treatment: May be
yoga, or sex, or LSD, or mantras... don't get into it!.
SATHYA SAI BABA
"Sa" means "Divine"; "ai" "mother"; and "baba" "father"... the "Divine Mother-Father", born in India 1926 is the guru with more apparent miracles reported: Producing objects out or the air, like ash, pendants, rings from your ear, all kinds of healing and rising the death... in the festivals he will vomit a 3-inch solid lingam!... - He died without successor... were the powers divine, satanic, psychic or merely trickery?... 7911 Willoughby Ave. Los Angeles CA 90046 .
HIMALAYAN INSTITUTE OF YOGA SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY
Biofeedback
- "Biofeedback"
owes its
development to the expertise of Swami Rami, the founder of the Himalayan
Institute: 5,000 students a month flock the Institute on Glenview, Illinois,
to learn Raja Yoga, to "exhale all problems", and "inhale energy" to become
a wave of bliss in the ocean of the universe.
- Swami,
can stop the heart-beat for 17 seconds, move
an aluminum knitting needle while sitting 5 feet away... and this was used
by Dr. Green of the prestigious Topeka, Kansas-based Menninger Foundation to
develop the principles of biofeedback.
- As a monk and
as an American Guru, Swami has dedicated his life to create a bridge between
East and West. He feels his mission is to combine Indian religious
philosophy and psychological therapeutic techniques.
SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP
- Paramahansa Yogananda died in 1952, with
500,000 worldwide adherents.
- In 1920 he addressed the International Congress of Religious Liberals in
the USA, and in 1945 he founded the Self-realization Fellowship, with
current headquarters in Los Angeles, Calif.
- As a Hindu he taught the "cosmic consciousness", that could be attained
after a million years of reincarnations... but with his method, "Kriya
Yoga", he claims it can be obtained in 3 years... this Yoga is a mastery of
breath control.

GURUDEV SIDDHA
YOGA ASHRAM
Swami Muktananda Paramahansa, founded Yoga
Ashram in 1961. Came to America in 1970, and there 300 meditation centers
with 100,000 US followers. In America known as "Siddha Yoga Dhan" with
headquarters in Oakland, California.
The system of enlightenment is called "shaktipat", and it is obtained with
"the thrust of his fingers into a disciple's eyes", an old Hindu ploy of
creating neurological pressure on the retina... don't' get into it!.
SAHAJA YOGA
The leader is a lady GURU MARAJI,
who has cryptically referred
to herself as the Holy Spirit, Christ, Adi Shakti (the wife of Krishna), and
the Virgin Mary.
- This Yoga involves the
bodily awakening of "kundalini", which moves thorough the body's 7 chakras.
Shoe-beating, lemons and chilies are used to combat energy-sucking demons.
- The Guru has her Palace in Poona, near Bombay, India. A mansion near
Cambridge, England, and an Italian castle.
- Come to the real Holy Spirit!... to the real Virgin Mary... no tricks...
only real love!.
3HO FOUNDATION, SIKH FOUNDATION OF YOGI BHAJAN
"3HO" stands for "Healthy, Happy,
Holy", and 5,000 followers (he claims 250,000), have joined his 150 Sikh
Dharma U.S. ashrams.
-Yogi Bhajan, the founder, is being accused of womanizer, who demands group
massages from female attendants with whom he takes turns sleeping... he
claims to be the "only living master of tantrism"... of sex mysticism!.
- He also claims to be an authority in America of "Sikhism", the
monotheistic system to unite Hinduism and Islam... but he never dresses as a
Sikh.
- He has a 40-acre ranch near Espanola, in New Mexico... where he indulges
in nude massages and rapid breathing techniques.
MAITREYA
- "Maitreya", the Lord Master expected by the Buddhists, is, in fact, a fiction created by the New Ager Benjamin Creme... he says it is not a religion, but he advises people to meet weekly in "Maitreya Groups" to create good Energy...
- Benjamin Creme, born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1922, is a co-editor of the New Age magazine "Share International", and considers himself to be like another John the Baptist, the precursor of "Maitreya", "to make the initial approach to the public, to help create a climate of hope and expectancy".
- "Maitreya",
the "Master", in Creme's fiction, is supposed to be the "Christ" expected by
the Christians, the "Messiah" expected by the Jews, the reincarnation of
Krishna expected by the Hindus, the "Iman Mahdi" expected by the Muslims,
the "Lord Maitreya" expected by the Buddhists.
- Creme attracted much attention in the early 1980s announcing the coming of
the Lord Maitreya by 1982; whe Maitreya failed to appear, Creme's popularity
quikly died.
- However, Creme says that Maitreya is already alive, emerged from the
Himalayas in 1977, and is living in London, in the Pakistani-Indian
community as an ordinary man... but on the "Day of Declaration" the
international television networks will be linked together, and Maitreya will
be invited to speak to the world; we will see his face on television, but
each of us will hear his words telepathically.
- Creme says that Maitreya is already making unexpected apparitions in
different countries, like in Kenya in 1991, in Uganda with the healing of
400 patients with AIDS, and the healing waters in Tlacote (Mexico), Nordenau
(Germany), Nadana (India) ... but all of them unsubstantiated... he appears
and disappears, without anybody's notice, claims the fiction story of Creme!.
- Creme claims Maitreya predicted the fall of Communism and dozens of world
social and political events, but all unsubstantiated, predicted after they
had happened!.
- A major event predicted by Maitreya, through Creme, in 1988, was "an
international stock market crash"... but now, in 1997, still did not
happened!
- Creme calls him "the Master of all Masters", including the Master of Jesus
Christ... "the Head of the Spiritual Hierarchy of Masters", "the World
Teacher", "the Lord Maitreya"... though Maitreya calls himself the
"Teacher".
... For Creme, "Maitreya" means "the Lord of Joy and Gladness", dedicated to
the reunification of all religions and humanity, and for the economic,
social, and political welfare of the whole world.
- For me, Maitreya is another Hindu-Buddhist cult, a false Messiah...
Maitreya is not God, as Creme claims... the face of Maitreya exists, a good
looking Hindu or Buddhist man, as given by the fiction story of Creme.
