Cult or anyone. Is this person who puts on these retreats a follower of Mr. Butler? ^
Yes. Brandon Raynor is from Australia and he is a disciple of Siddha. I do not know what his initiated name is though.
He was also involved in the protests against the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras heading an organisation called Dharam Rakshak that was just a false front organisation to make it look like more people were interested in the protest than there actually were. The protest was headed by American Hindus Against Defamation (which is also an SOI initiative) and bolstered by Alliance Against Religious Vilification (ARV) ALSO an SOI organisation which did not really exist except for a website - but it all looked impressive -[i:e01ad410ac]ish[/i:e01ad410ac]
I heard from devotees that Raynor ran for government at some point during the 90s, but I have not been able to find any proof of this yet.
Interestingly the training he offers is only accredited because he started up his own association because his methods - particularly that his courses do not incorporate any teachings on anatomy were not recognised by any existing professional massage association.
He now lives full time in Hawaii. I do not know what role he has there, but the general talk about him was that he is quite close to Siddha (it helps if you're rolling in money)
