I guess if you wanted us to know you would have already said but what is this about? Anyone ever heard of Sidda recognising another guru (an inferior woman no less) as being a pure devotee? There was a devotee on the Gold Coast that ran kirtan for SOI but who had another spiritual master. I was told the name of her spiritual master but have forgotten, although I am sure I would recognise it i

My stamina is about to be tested. You can log on to the blog to read 'my confession' which explains it in more detail. At the moment nothing is clear except that I have had an impact.

With regards to my safety apart from earlier attempts to find out where I am and some threatening e-mails and phone calls months ago now I doubt that SOI will take anything seriously until after it happens.

Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Zelig, I totally agree with your last post apart from my own opinion that the relevance of talking about Siddha's disobedience regarding AC contradicts what his own directives to his followers that you can't have a spiritual life without a spiritual master. For many who question things about SOI but are not unfaithful their decision not to leave, or the explanation in their delay

I have certainly been around plenty of religion in my life searching for the ultimate truth, a power greater than me and all that, and all I have concluded is that KC is the perfection of religion. Everything good that happens Krishna does and everything bad that happens you do to yourself. KC does not even leave any loopholes for redemption such as simply being able to ask to be forgiven - o

An ISKCON link that has published printed lectures?? I would never have looked at anything ISKCON after all the preaching that Siddha's disciples do against them on his orders. I heard a lecture once where Siddha told a woman who wanted to go to kirtan at an ISKCON temple because there was none near her home and he told her that to do this would be like 'spitting into the wind'

Thanks guys... When I first got out of the cult I did consider the fact that I was just crazy or perhaps too demonic to understand what had happened there, so talking about it and knowing that others had same/similar experiences has certainly helped me a lot to begin getting on with my life.
