AARAVINDHA HIMADRA-- A Waste Of Time ?? A month or so ago a good friend, a long veteran of the spiritual world, called me using Skype from his winter hideaway in the Arizona desert. We discussed the various 'teachers' about whom I have started Message Boards. He agreed totally that James Swartz is a criminal and a fraud, that Madhukar is a rapacious tragedy, and was only happy with

Protection? From Whom? Just to be clear, it is not to protect Bob and Kathy from Mooji or his people that I did not name them. It was to protect them from getting enmeshed in on-line debates in which they have no interest in participating.

JUST TO BE CLEAR... And to Answer the Questions ---Bob and Kathy are no longer "with Mooji" or his group. They haven't been for about two years, possibly longer. They never had a definitive split. They just gradually stopped going to the Ashram, and moved on when the time and person was right. ---They have no ill feelings towards Mooji or anyone in his group. (I believe they

For Heather: “No Guru!” For me: No Group think, and No Blind Obedience I think Heather and I are saying exactly the same thing. As usual with James Swartz, he only does good things accidentally. Even mentioning Ramana or Shankara is a good thing to new seekers, even as much else he says is lies and drivel. In Heather’s case his misuse of Guru-ship” taught her to never put faith in any person.
