Great points from Valma. It's good to see this through the eyes of someone who has been there so to speak. Just noticed Be Scofield's article has appeared on a site in India now:

Non Dual author Joan Toalifson has written another article on Mooji: "My Reflections on Mooji" She's a fan of him, but is at least willing to say that she feels the allegations could be true. In the comments to her article, someone wrote this important statement: "The problem I have is that people have confided in me directly - and these people have a total of six an

It is way worse than I thought...

Yes, Shaktipat is a real phenomenon... Strangely it can be very powerful, but at the same time by all means it does not mean the one you are "receiving" it from is fully clear of earthly desires, drives, vassannas etc. That is what makes it so confusing.. you can get a real palpable blast of shakti, or energy from at teacher, but in almost all cases, if his teacher is not mature or r

There has been a great, continuing discussion going on at the Batgap forum on Mooji's 2nd interview. As things continue to come to light, I feel like at one point, Rick will have no choice but to take the 2 interviews down.

Great quotes from James Swartz zizlz. I've read that book and find it to be a mature, well needed no-nonsense look at Advaita Vedanta. I'd encourage any current, or re-covering Moo follower to read it! Both quotes fit "Dirty Tony" to a tee... I especially like the second one!

That's great GODHIMSELF. I appreciate the part in the video where it is explained that David Godman spent 4 years! with Papaji, and wouldn't dare let anyone touch his feet. It is known that Moo only spent a very short time with Papaji. It says on that lineage page that it was also only in a group setting nonetheless! Moo has certainly spun "attending group meetings" into a tal

GODHIMSELF asked some questions on Feb 21. Horowitz answered the next day One of the questions was "Does he says that he is in the lineage of Ramana Maharshi ?" I'll add, yes he does (even though it is complete and utter bullshit) "Mooji is a direct disciple in the lineage of the great Advaita Vedanta master Sri H.W.L.

A quote in a post from Chi-Ting Apocalypse "The amazing thing about Tony (Moo) is that everyone knew about his proclivities from the get go. Tony's great chum Reiki Shiva used to regale everyone with tales of his sexual antics to all and sundry in the chai shops of Tiru. It's a bit like Harvey (Weinstein): everyone knew but they all wanted the starring role so they played along

More on the subject of "False Lineage". A big fact that the Moo followers don't understand is that Papaji's "enlightenment" was self-proclaimed. Ramana Maharishi never declared any living person to be enlightened, nor did he authorize ANYONE to teach. So, Papaji himself is out of the running to "claim" himself in any lineage to Ramana...
