A friend of mine was dating a girl he wanted to marry. She was sent into some kind of program by her parents and now the members of the church are telling him to stay away from her but he is unable to make any contact with her directly. i found this disturbing google review and was wondering if anyone has heard of this group? "this place is not for helping people this place is a cult!

Her latest video is revealing. It's not a surprise that she defines the term Swami in the way that she does. "Swami means one that has the lord over themself...they've made the journey" She conveniently omits the parts that she has not abided by in her life. A Swami is a yogi, ascetic, aspirant that has been initiated into the religious monastic order instituted by Adi Sh

psyborgue: Just read Guru Patrol's post right before yours. This is how she operates. Everyone else is a bully with nothing better to do, and she is the enlightened Guru simply defending herself and speaking Truth. She can't stand a venue like this where she doesn't control things. The funny thing is, nobody outside of maybe 20 people (max) give a damn about her or her path.

Sorry to hear that John. You seem like an intelligent and discerning chap. Be sure not to miss Sharon's latest video: Artwork Acrylics and Cell Phone Covers At some point you'll snap out of it. Until then....

Hey Holly, Good for you. Sharon can't understand how students can soak up all that Grace and then leave her :) What she doesn't get, or refuses to see, is people are leaving because they're waking up to the fact that she's not what she claims to be ~ an enlightened kundalini satguru. More like a self-absorbed deluded nut job. Sooner or later, the reality of it becomes

Most have either left her, or have one foot out the door. A few are completely loyal (stuck) All will leave once they snap out of it That's the pattern with baggage ladies like this.

And she honestly wonders why there's never been enough momentum to start an ashram or have

From a couple ex-students, and a simple internet search of public records, I bring you the following: So her self-proclaimed teacher name is Guru Swami G. (or in part "bestowed" by students) She legally changed her birth name to Ganga Karmokar. Her birth name is Sharon Wipprecht Other aliases: Sharon L Motoda Sharon L Noack Sharon Noack Tang Sharon Leah Tang And that is only

The real birth name of "Guru Swami G". Not Ganga Karmokar, the "spiritual" name she legally changed her name to.

I'm trying to figure out what is ok and not ok here. Two people asked her real name and you said nothing. She provided it openly; Ganga Karmokar. I'm simply asking what her birth name was, as this is clearly a spiritual name. She doesn't have to answer after all. And you asked her a few times about everything from education, occupations, financial support, past affiliations,

And what was your legal name before you changed your name to Ganga Karmokar?
