hi everyone, came across a new video on YouTube called : 'Moojibaba's dancing joy'. A slick piece of advertising. Trying to sell people the image of a man supposedly spontaneous and in some spiritual bliss. When all you see is a guy waving his arms and walking around. Like you and me would. Difference being we probably wouldn't hang a big picture of ourself in between image

hello everyone, sorry, but I'm not buying into the video of this Mr. Juliano. Nothing new is said. We all know it's a cult. That people with serious mental issues participate in these retreats. Shree is misnamed. There is a strong smell of spiritual arrogance: I will tell him what to do! and apologising of both Osho (Sheila did it all, which is NOT TRUE) and Tony Moo (it's this

thank you Valma, for reposting StartingOver's post. As terrible as it sounds, who can say this is not what goes on behind the scenes of this multi-million-euro-business? It would not be the first time facade and reality will turn out to be two different things alltogether within a 'charitable, spiritual' organisation. Looking at the picture on facebook, I too think she is with c

Let's remind ourselves that women already have come forward, albeit anonimously, to expose moo's sexual misconduct. People have reported about his tempers and disrespectful behaviour towards others. Exposed is his use of trance-induction and hypnosis and all the other psychological tricks that hook people on the moojibaba-ki-jay-gurudev-halleluja-amen-give-me-all-your-money-scam. People

Just watched the 38-58...what confusion for the lady. He is asking her to do something impossible. She still wants the answer coming from him. Sees that there is no understanding but is trying, trying, trying to get what he is not offering. It only appears to be. How maddening is that. And her loyalty towards him is still so great, which makes it more difficult to say: buster, you're not hel

Have just taken a look at the Zmar-advertisement. I noticed mr. moo is not looking straight into the camera like he used to in the opening-picture. Guilty conscience perhaps? Can't look his "devotees" in the eye? No more choice for meals that include meat or fish. Only vegetarian food. Just an occasional fish on the menu. There better not be herons around! One is expected to com

250 participants. That must have hurt them in more than one way. I doubt renting a venue housing three to four thousand people comes cheap. Gone are the Baarlo-days (Holland last year) when 1500 people paid good money to be on retreat. I think one either leaves now or teams up with the heavily deluded around this false guru. Denying all critisism. Clinging to this illusion for dear life. So

Remember him walking around the site where the fire had been, picking up a piece of garbage and speaking about it as if it was some million dollar diamond. Odd. Saying the fire was a blessing (?) bringing the community even more together. Well...that's a way of seeing it, I guess. Oh, and it was by grace the wind blew in the right direction.

Yes, let's not forget the dead herron. Exposing the fact that the moo-ites have acces to at least one firearm. And at least one member of the ashram is prepared to kill for the master.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

I understand there have been death-threats and he was advised to arrange some protection. But fire-arms? Who does he think he is? In these kind of cult-environements it's impossible to get to the bottom of anything. Nobody knows everything that's going on (uncertainty creates fear creates submission to the group). Even people living at the ashram may and probably don't know what
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Welcome MiedoFree, well, that is quite something you share. Armed gards. Frisking. But considering all that was going on at the time, the exposing of the dirty little secrets of the moo-gang, it wouldn't surprise me. I remember watching Sahaja-express-video's from Rishikesh where moo had some very a-typical guys surrounding him (while he was "sharing some of his wisdom"). R
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Today I felt strong and de-hypnotised enough to watch Moo again. I was so amazed. What a load of non-sense. He is really not saying anything profound. All bits of this and that. About being a seeker or a finder(?), the impurities of the mind.. Ofcourse him speaking to this lady from "this place". On and on and on. People laughing at things he said and myself not finding anything funny i

So now they are changing their public image apparently. Toning everything down. And all thanks to us. Not only are his "holy feet" gone ( oh, no! I chucked them in the bin with the rest of the pics). I'v noticed also that earlier on these snaps were given lofty names like "silly fool", devine conman", "irritating stare", "give me your money now!&qu
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

"holy love", "living example of Truth", "miracles", "healing presence". Well, that's humility for you. But as we know that is not one of the qualities of moo and the moo-moos. I've been reading up on another very charming "cult" lately, mr. Rajneesh and his rajneeshees. It's scary how simular things are when one compares these t

welcome,Chrissyand thank you for sharing your experience with us. How sad it all is. How cold this abandonement by the moo moos. It just seems to show once more their indifference towards and lack of care for things that are not convenient to them. Their tendency to hush things up. Things that may harm their precious reputation. Which is all they care about. Because that's what keeps the

yes, traveller99, a good idea to give mr. Schwartz the "honour"of his own topic. Just visited the leavingmoojipage, no problem. The moo-moos changed their advertising for the upcoming recruiting-event in Lisbon. Took down the glamourpicture of the venue and the glamourwords (about famous artists performing at the venue). It's a not so appealing pic now and just a place perfec

hi corboy, It will not be the same for everyone. For me it was watching Youtubes, going to a lot of retreats, joining a sangha-group. I didn't make it to the last step of living at Sahaja. Getting involved with a sangha-group is very simple. Look on their website, see if there is a group in your area, contact them and you are very welcome to join a meeting. You show up, everybody love

just think about it: evil doesn't come in the shape of a figure with horns on his head and smoke coming out of his ears. It comes many times in beautiful shapes seemingly expressing love. One of Charlie Mansons ex-cultmembers said she experienced him sometimes "radiating so much love". It became rather clear how "loving" that guy was. Not yet knowing much about the

hi Annette, indeed what you're discribing there is horrific. I also hope your friend is alright. Out of his clutches.

hi yourenotanobject, point is that a sufferer from NPD doesn't see he or she is having a problem. The fault always lies with 'the other'. And any critisism will be answered with denial, anger and demeaning of the one asking questions. And not taking any responsability at all. I believe that's what we're dealing with here.

hi Ananas, you write they didn't want him in Zmar. That would be in the line of things. Not being wanted in a place.

Can anyone shed more light on this?
