Some important advice for those intending to travel to India to watch the Tony Moo show for free for a couple of weeks - people with mental illness are warned to stay away! Apparently Tony's musing can send you completely around the twist, if you are in a vulnerable state already. From the official Moo site: • Satsang is not a replacement for any therapy or other medical treatment

More breaking news from the Mooji Sangha Facebook page, where Tony Moo is frequently compared to Jesus, and is thus undergoing some kind of ritual persecution, ultimately to benefit us all, I believe... In response to Moo's denial video, a woman called 'Christine' writes this, effectively accusing her Guru of "being in his mind", so it seems: "Concern for pers

More interesting tit-bits from the Moo Sangha Facebook page; always an entertaining page and well worth a look... A fellow by the name of 'Micheal' posts this, in response to Moo's denial of allegations: "Ramana Maharshi would not have needed to defend himself, as like you say he was beyond the need to do so. I am not sure why this broadcast was aired in the first pl

Thanks for sharing that link, Clearvision. It's so intriguing to see just how deluded the Moo Cult followers are! I've copied a few of the comments from the Moo Sangha Facebook page here: “My Master bhagwan mooji baba is Shiva himself.... Mooji baba is bwagavan Ramana himself...” “The whole universe is celebrating Our Lord’s Birthday.... Thank You to Our Beloved Lord Moojiba

Amma Tanya White recently posted this on her Facebook page, which is public: "These past couple of weeks have been an intense, emotional rollercoaster on the heels of discovering that the Man I once held in my heart and considered to be my Guru, Mooji, is not who I thought him to be. Needless to say it has stirred a storm of emotions within me that I have been processing on a daily basi

Atta-dipa, thank you. Be Schofield is an excellent journalist and would be a good fit to write about Moo. Zizlz, yes, I agree. I think transcendent experiences are very common and no big deal. I used to have them myself- spontaneously -and I still do, occasionally. While these expansive, peaceful and some might say 'enlightening' experiences are very beautiful, they are not enlighten
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Yes, exactly, Zizlz, Neo-Advaita makes no sense at all... and this is at the very heart of the problem we have here with Tony Moo. A certain proportion of the general population are attracted to ideas that make no sense!! Because these ideas can be manipulated and you can read into them anything you want to read into them. It suits a certain type of person who is either rebellious, unhinged

Thanks for your insights, Bubbaboy, I watched part of the video you posted... very interesting. The presenter/teacher in the video seemed extremely determined to get his point across! I could see how he would appeal to some people... yes. I think different personalities are attracted to different teachers. But the whole non-dual concept is strange to me and I really, deeply question the

Hi PapajisaysNO, I hope your friend will be OK. I am very sorry to hear that she has suffered harm from Moo. I am posting a link to the U.K. Charity Commission, so as people are aware of how they can make an official complaint against Moo. After all, Tony Moo is an employee of a registered charity and the aims of a charity are to actually help people, not harm them in any way- be this p

Some interesting thoughts from the Mooji Sangha Facebook page (the official Moo page) today: Under Mooji's latest video, where he denies absolutely everything he has ever done in his entire life, and affirms that people are just out to get him - there are over 200 comments of support and undying love and devotion. Everyone is in agreement, they say "Mooji's accusers are wron
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

It's kind of funny that Moo didn't fall back into his lame mind games and start asking; "Who is the one doing the accusing?" "Is there one who is observing the one who is doing the accusing?" "Can you see that this one is nothing at all?" "You are nothing, and I am nothing.... these accusations are nothing." "These accusations are noth

It's interesting that Moo didn't come out and flatly deny the sexual allegations, since this is basically what the the fuss is all about. I expected a Bill Clinton style statement, like: "I did not have sexual relations with these women..." He really doesn't say what the allegations are... but I suppose he had legal advice and was told to keep it really vague, which ki

Hi PapajisaysNO, Thank you for sharing your very in-depth account of your time with Moo. I can relate to everything you have written. I never went to Monte Saharja, but I did get intensely involved with the online Moo Sangha, there for a while. It's fascinating that some people, including Khrishnabai, believe that Moo is God. Strangely enough, I can understand it, because that is what

Hi Sound of Silence, It looks like Amma Tanya has taken down her video. It seems that she has deleted her Facebook page as well... as far as I can tell. I hope she is OK. She received a lot of backlash from the Moo Cult followers and in the end had to block a number of people from contacting her. That is what I read on her page, anyway. It was up and running yesterday.... Hi Heythere101,

Hi Heythere101, thanks for contributing so much information to the discussion.... especially the stuff about Tony Moo talking about extra-terrestrials and other dimensions!

Thanks Horowitz for sharing that Youtube video. It was extremely painful to watch, mainly because Rose looks so terrible! What is she covered in? Sweat? Do they allow people to have showers there at the cult compound? Rose could not say anything coherent- she seems to have problems with her memory and her eyes look glazed over. She looks really, really tired. She smiles all the time as

It's interesting that there has been no public posts at all on Krishnabai's* Facebook page since 2013 - quite a while!

I would not be surprised if we do see some young women launching official complaints against Moo and his so-called "charity". It would be a terrifying thing to do, though... Look at all the online backlash against Amma Tanya. Cult members are calling her a "monster" and throwing racist insults her way. It must be frightening and so incredibly hurtful. Don't forget, the

That's really difficult for you. It sounds like you live in a small community and some of your friends, or people who potentially could become friends, are in a cult. Just be very, very careful. You could try to warn people, but if you don't know them very well, they might take your concerns the wrong way. It's not easy. I would probably just avoid these people as much as possib

The thing I don't understand is that the Moo Group are a registered charity, with the U.K's Charity Commission. Surely they would have to deal with a complaint the proper way, via an independent investigation? Wouldn't they have a complaints process in place? They publicly denigrate this poor woman, Amma Tanya, via Fb, but they don't officially deny the allegations or at le

That is a really interesting Fb page, Clearvision. The article that you posted a link to is really well-written.
