I could smell this coming... the 'Beloved Holy Father' (Tony from Brixton) has made this new video: "We Are Being Offered a Higher Path". I knew many opportunist "spiritual" figures would try to capitalize on this pandemic by offering their various new age platitudes in hopes of recruiting new "converts". And right on cue, he's in there like a di

Here is one of the best articles out there on "neo advaita" movement spawned by Papaji. Madhukar's name comes up, as the author Timothy Conway had mistaken him for a diferent Madukar - the late Berthold Madhukar Thomspson, Timothy and Berthold both studied with Ramana Maharshi's devotee Annamalai Swami. For those that don't know, Ramana did not declare Papaji "en

Regarding "The Open Letter" There's one particular thing that needs to be addressed. In the letter, there is the wording: "as a Jnani".... Tony Moo IS NOT A JNANI. He has just been posing as one. Nobody from the world of Ramana Maharshi recognize him as "realized" or a "Jnani". No reputable spiritual teachers outside of that world recognize

Thanks Ananas for making these important points! You wrote: "When people say: "M's teachings are so great".

I noticed on the facebook page "Leaving Mooji" there is a mention of Swartz... It's in number 6 on this list: It looks like they are warning disillusioned Mooji followers about JS.

Great to hear your astute observations here earthquake! Regarding JS, you wrote "He focuses in specific vedanta teachings, more than others. The ones he focuses on actually keep the students tied into samsara. that is, keeps the students needing him." This could be squarely said about Mooji too! If you ever have a moment, it would be great if you felt like chiming in on the "

Thanks for bringing up this topic Traveler99 James Swartz's interviews on Rick Archer's popular "Buddha at the Gaspump" show were taken down.

Hi all, I just wanted to chime in since James Swartz's name has come up. I'm in complete agreement that using Annette's letter without her permission is highly unethical and indeed smacks of JS trying to hustle the all ever increasing flow of disillusioned ex-tony moo young followers to now follow him, and "his" teachings.
