Hey jerkchicken, Nice post. To be honest my opinion on him not taking mental health seriously is that not everything can be cured by telling people they are not the mind. Some people need medication, and need to be looked after in a more natural way that even caters to their person identification. And like another user pointed out, some people give up things to stay in Monte Sahaja, but when

Sahara I never confirmed Mooji had sexual relations with his devotees. I have no idea where he met his girlfriend's. What I said was if these women started as devotees, then he's only had a handful out of the thousands he meets each year. Hardly a sexual predator. And I never confirmed he uses trance induction. I stated that in my own personal opinion, in the opinion of Applejuic

rmoderator I explained in my first post that I joined to clear up some misconceptions. I know what happens because I've been around for so long, when he was in the UK and in other countries. But I don't live in Monte Sahaja, therefore events may happen which I have no knowledge about. I was an honest as I could be. Things like the sexual allegations needed to be cleared up because i

Please don't use me as an example of financial transparency or lack thereof. I am one person, and do not know or really care what happens with the finances. It's not my money. I have my own money, my own job and live in a different country. I also do not donate the his group. But see no issue if other people want to donate to Mooji. As far as I understand all the money made helps runs t

"I started seeing some females who I met in similar situations as me who would have 'private talks' with Mooji and come out of rooms looking detached and something bubbling below. I had a friend, let's call her 'Sarah'. Whenever I asked Sarah what happened, she would put on a fake smile and spout that life is beautiful we have to believe."... Looool. This is

"Furthermore Moo has two faces, one in satsang, where he is lovely and friendly, and then there is the other guy who is very bad tempered and can be callus, rough and will talk behind your back." Let's just say don't believe everything you read. Never heard this said about him.

I just spoke to someone about the suicide. The person travelled off the land to do it. And he did leave a note, but I don't know the content. I think the guy needed medication but stopped taking it. Nobody is sure why he did it. And he never told people prior that he was feeling depressed, it came as a shock to everyone. His Mother actually went to Monte Sahaja after he passed, and told t

Like I said people love his photos. Ask them to remove it and you will have your answer. Mooji could tell people not to kiss his feet, but he won't, and the people actually WANT to kiss his feet. I find it a bit weird, but there is a whole culture around kissing the feet of the master. They speak of feeling great joy when they do it. I touched his feet with my hand once just to see what a

Rrmoderator I think I've covered your questions in my above post. 1. Allowing people to worship him 2. His teaching style 3. Not speaking on worldly events 4. Not taking mental health seriously enough As for your money question, how on earth would I know how much he makes? I'm not his accountant. I know he doesn't live a life of luxury. And I'm certain he could if he

Happytown say what you want. Nobody has been shamed for leaving. You won't find a single post, or hear about someone being shamed. So your articles are of little relevance to this discussion. Sahara not sure what was confusing about my post, but I will try to clear some things up. I never stated that Mooji's girlfriends were never his devotees. What I said was that he never prey

Of course leaving a group where you live, work, and have personal relationships with people is difficult. What is your point? These are the consequences of living in a commune. That's why I would never live in one. Maybe that's why she left too. I notice you also shifted the goalposts. First you said this person was shamed, I told you they were not. They were held in high regard.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Thank you for finally admitting that any person can leave Monte Sahaja at anytime, and nobody was held against their will. Let's deal with facts not assumptions. As for people who leave the group, usually they go off on their own way. Some find new teachers, others are finished with gurus. From the few I spoke to after they left, they treated it like a phase in their life that they are no
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Stop deflecting. You claimed someone was unable to leave. I told you and provided proof that anyone can leave. Can you provide proof that they can't, or will you link me to another article that has nothing to do with Monte Sahaja or Mooji? It feels like you wanna paint this person into a box in order to fit your narrative surrounding Mooji. But I knew her in real life so it won't wor

Again what does your link have to do with Monte Sahaja? What is wrong with you? I told you Monte Sahaja doesn't hold ANYBODY HOSTAGE. You just buy your plane ticket and order a cab if you wanna go. So why did you link to to a page that has nothing to do with Monte Sahaja or Mooji??? This is a prime example of making assumptions, and creating gossip out of thin air. Thousands of people vi

Again you are making a lot of assumptions. You don't know the woman at all and call her oppressed. She is one of the most free thinking women I've ever met. She won't be oppressed by your ideas about her. We don't know why she left, and the truth is it's not even important. I told the story to highlight a point. Why she left is nobodies business but her own. The s
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Happytown it's one sided because she never stuck around to tell her story. But nobody demonised her. She is still held in high regard, and people miss her. Like I said people tried to reach out to her, but she wanted to cut all ties to the community. You also assume I'm part of the community, when I made it clear I don't live there. I never once attempted to shame anybody. Samad

I also want to add a couple more things. You are free to leave at any time in Monte Sahaja. What you'll find is people often want to overstay their welcome. Sometimes if someone has remained for too long, Mooji will send them out into the world for a few weeks or months just to make sure they do not become dependent on him or Monte Sahaja. And the residents change a lot over the cours

I've read a lot of comments on this thread and thought I would give my opinion. My opinion is my own, and I'm not here to defend or attack anybody. Simply to tell the truth as I see it. Just so you know where I'm coming from, I've followed Mooji's teachings for over 10 years on and off, so I witnessed him speak to a half empty room to forming Monte Sahaja and becoming
