On an online forum, former Papaji student Isaac Shapiro's name came up in a list of teachers/leaders. Someone wrote:

"Isaac shapiro should not be called a teacher/leader.
He has been abusing his power for years by having sex with many of his students"

This caught my eye, as there have been various rumors about him having sex with students for a number of years.
I think it would be well worth exposing him in this safe, anonymous place.

Does anyone have any information on this? Any stories, or anecdotes?

He appears to be no different than a long line of ex Papaji students: Jaxxon-Bear, Madhukar, Yukio, and Mooji, who went on to absuse their (perceived) power by having sex with students

Feel free to share any information you have on Shapiro.
Sexuality is one thing, but abusing the power differential between the teacher and student is another.
This kind of stuff has gone on waaay too long!

Is there a link to a source?

Hi Corboy,
It was in a private group, so I'd rather not divulge the identity of the writer.

I'm looking around for more such stories about Shapiro though.
I realised I can add yet another name to the list of Papaji students that have sex with their students. John David (formerly Premananda)

There's acutally a facebook page on exposing him called
"John David formerly Premananda is a Fraud" [www.facebook.com]

This is not to excuse gurus but to call the entire guru role into question.

My opinion is that the social scene gurus allow to develop around themselves is a toxic work environment.

Ni human nervous system can resist the temptation.

The scene also attracts opportunists drawn to the power, the prestige and the aching trustfulness of the students who congregate around the guru.

This will sound like baloney to a lot of people, but some of these gurus have a very strong shakti field or however you want to call it. I've experienced this with Isaac when I attended a satsang of his. Maybe this is another factor besides the ones you listed.

TBH I think accusations as serious as this need to be substantiated with more than "someone once said something about it on a website somewhere."

Hi Shamrock,

Yes, so let's see what else comes up.
The comment was made on the members forum at Buddha and the Gaspump.

A great many of Papaji's "bad fruit" went on to abuse their position by having sex with students. They were "presumed" awake, because Papaii was also "presumed" awake. They all took advantage of the huge power differential between student and teacher

Accusations can be a trickle at first, then the flood gates open. So, let's wait and see who might find this thread.

Threads on James Swartz and Mooji started small too.

Has there been any updates to this? I cant find anything online
