World's largest child sex ring exposed 🕉️


I'm Peter Spiegel, and we don't molest kids

Sexual allegations against Hindu Swami Kripalu Maharaj
Temple no longer molesting since last conviction?
In the 1990s, Kripalu Maharaj* was arrested for allegedly raping two young girls. In the end, the prosecution was dismissed due to insufficient evidence [29].

In 2010, Kripalu Maharaj was arrested again in Trinidad and Tobago after a 22-year-old Guyanese woman alleged that he raped her after going to seek spiritual assistance from Kripalu in one of his religious centers. The case was ultimately dropped due to insufficient evidence [30].

Convicted child rapist Guru Swami Saraswati
One of Kripalu's disciples, Guru Prakashanand Saraswati, was convicted of groping two young girls in his ashram in Hays County, Texas.

A 12-person jury declared Saraswati guilty of 20 counts of child molestation, after 50 minutes deliberation, on Friday March 4th, 2011 [31].

I'm a Jewish Hindu. How could I molest kids?
Although convicted, child molester Saraswati was released after CEO Peter Spiegel (TV infomercial entrepreneur, Barsana Dham officer, and founder of the California consumer tech company Ideal Living (ideal Living.com) "put up a $1 million cash bond."

Devotee Peter Spiegel had previously "signed a $10 million indemnity agreement in October 2008."

According to the Austin American-Statesman, Peter Spiegel's attorney Barry Hitchings said that he would contest the agreement.

Peter Spiegel said that he was one of about 40 Hindu followers present for a Sunday dinner at Marsha Kent's home with sex Guru Saraswati the evening before the guru escaped the USA and went on the lam.

Peter Spiegel said, "It never entered my mind that he wouldn't come" to his own trial on multiple child molestation charges [32, 33].

As part of the bond condition, Guru Saraswati was barred from entering the Barsana Dham temple. After Guru Saraswati fled the country, Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert Marcum alleged that members of JKP aided Guru Saraswati in his escape and relocation to India.

Deputy Marcum said, "It is the most sophisticated scheme I've seen as far as fugitive investigations go. They were very smart about what they did "[34, 35]. More


Trial, conviction, and disappearance
  • In 2007, three former residents of Barsana Dham (aka Radha Madhav Dham), aged between 27 and 30 years old [33], told Hays County, Texas police that they had been sexually abused at the ashram when they were as young as 12 by Guru Saraswati, who was then arrested on April 25, 2008. A 12-person jury convicted Guru Saraswati guilty of 20 counts of child molestation, after just a short deliberation, on Friday March 4th, 2011 [34]. During the trial, Guru Saraswati had been free on a $10 million bond provided by Peter Spiegel [1, 8]. As part of the bond condition, Guru Saraswati was barred from entering the Barsana Dham temple. In April, following the disappearance of its founder, the temple/ashram changed its name [35].
  • Swami Prakashanand Saraswati, also known as Swami-ji, (born January 15, 1929) disappeared March 7, 2011) is a convicted child molester, Hindu monk, guru, swami, and internationally wanted fugitive from Ayodhya, India [1, 2]. Previously, he founded the Hindu religious organization the International Society of Divine Love [3] and Barsana Dham (the Radha Madhav Dham) temple in the United States [4, 5, 6, 7]. In 2011, a jury found Swami Saraswati guilty on 20 counts of indecency with a child [8]. He remains a fugitive and appeared on the Fox TV show America's Most Wanted [9]. HISTORY: Swami Prakashanand Saraswati was born in a Brahmin caste family in 1929 [10] in Ayodhya [11, 10]. More
We love all God's kids, really love'em
*Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj [4], born Ram Kripalu Tripathi (October 5, 1922–November 15, 2013) [5, 6] was an Indian spiritual guru [7] who founded Prem Mandir, a major pilgrimage and tourist destination in Vrindavan, India [8, 9] and Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (JKP).

JKP is a Hindu non-profit organization with five main ashrams [10], four in India and one in the USA [11, 12].

On Makar Sankranti, January 14, 1957, he received the title of Jagadguru ("world teacher") from the Kashi Vidvat Parishad [7, 13, 14]. More

Company: Ideal Living
Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (JKP), previously known as Sadhna Bhawan Trust, is a religious organization in India [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].

It was established in 1970 by Kripalu Maharaj [7, 8] and is currently administered by three presidents appointed by him [1, 9,10, 11]. The organization oversees three major temples: Bhakti Mandir in Mangarh, Prem Mandir in Vrindavan, and Kirti Mandir in Barsana [2]. More

How could honest and moral Pres. Trump allow these things to go on in the USA?

Sadhguru: God or Fraud? 99% confirmed


Richest gurus and babas of India
Within India’s complex tapestry of spirituality, numerous revered gurus (spiritual teachers) and babas (father figures) stand out, their teachings resonating far beyond the confines of their ashrams (temples) and devotees.

Sad guru: I make a lot of money. lol
Boasting millions of followers worldwide, these spiritual leaders have amassed substantial wealth and wield immense influence, molding the country’s spiritual terrain.

With a global following numbering in the millions, his estimated net worth, according to the Times of India, stands at Rs 18 crore [1 Rs crore = ten million rupees, so he had 180 million rupees], as of 2023. [His fortune has increased since then].

Sadhguru’s influence extends across yoga centers, educational institutions, and ecological projects within his financial empire. Through his teachings, he imparts "wisdom" on inner engineering and holistic living principles. More

Unknown story of Mahavatar Babaji


Great Avatar Father-ji
Mahavatar Babaji (Maha = "Great," avatar = "appearance," "vehicle," Baba = "Father," -ji = honorific suffix (Mahāvatāra Bābājī, lit. "Great Avatar (Revered) Father") is the Himalayan Hindu yogi and transcendent guru who taught Kriya Yoga to Lahiri Mahasaya (1828–1895) [2, 3, a], who was the teacher of Paramahansa Yogananda's teacher.

Babaji first became recognized through the writings of Paramahansa Yogananda, who devoted a chapter of his Autobiography of a Yogi to Babaji and founded the Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF), a modern yoga movement with which Babaji is associated [3].

The cave where Babaji met Lahiri Mahasaya, located near Ranikhet, India, is now a tourist attraction and place of pilgrimage [4]: 170.

In popular culture
Mahavatar Babaji gazing up
Mahavatar Babaji was on the cover of The Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band [5, 1, 6]. He can also be seen on the cover of George Harrison's 1974 album Dark Horse.

Songwriter Roger Hodgson of English rock band Supertramp composed a song called "Babaji" in reference to Mahavatar Babaji. This song was recorded and released on their 1977 album Even in the Quietest Moments [7]...

In Book 3 of Conversations with God (1998) by Neale Donald Walsch, it is mentioned that Babaji may at one time have resurrected himself from the dead, like the Jesus (St. Issa) legend [8].

The 2002 film Baba featured a fictional encounter with Mahavatar Babaji [4]: 235, 314.  The film was produced by Rajinikanth, a devotee of Babaji [9]. See also this List of Hindu gurus and saints. More

Intro to Zen, empty mind, how to (video)


Empty the Mind: A powerful Zen story for life
(The Fictionist) Join Akira on a transformative journey as he learns the power of emptying the mind in this Zen story. Overcome worry, embrace mindfulness, and find inner peace.


Zen: An Introduction
Chill out, be cool, and go with the flow.
(Share Ideas) Zen is a form of Mahayana Buddhism that developed in the 7th and 8th centuries in China, when Buddhism arrived from India and interacted with the indigenous Taoist tradition. The word "Zen" reflects this: It is the Japanese way pronouncing the Chinese chan (from channa), which is derived from the Indian Buddhist term jhana, from the Sanskrit dhyana, which originally meant "meditation." So Chan Buddhism or Zen Buddhism literally means a particular school that emphasizes meditation (which originally meant meditative absorption as the central practice). March 4th, 2018.

Jesus ordained as a Buddhist monk: BBC

Jesus of Nazareth: Historical figure or Jewish-Roman imperial myth?
What Christians get wrong about Jesus Christ and their own faith

Jesus was a Buddhist monk | BBC documentary
Jesus' seamless robe (Christian Faith Guide)
(Brian Oblivion) From Minute 38 on comes the interesting part. This British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC 4) documentary examines the question "Did Jesus Die?"

It looks at various ideas around this question until Minute 25, where this examination of ideas takes a very logical and grounded turn with surprising conclusions that demonstrate:

The "Three Wise Men" were Tibetan Buddhist monks who (were in search of a tulku) found Jesus and came back for him about the time of puberty.
Western Buddhist monk Dhammadipa
After being trained in a Buddhist monastery [Hemis Gompa, Ladakh] he spread the Buddhist philosophy, survived Jewish persecution in Palestine and crucifixion in the Roman Empire (Israel), and escaped to Kashmir, Afghanistan.

This part of Kashmir is near the birthplace of the Buddha, known as ancient Gandhara in Central Asia, with its capital now in Pakistan (after the 1947 Partition of India).

There he died an old man at the age of 80 [and his corpse was entombed in the Jewish-style with its distinct orientation with Buddhist-style footprints marking his burial site.

That grave is now covered by an Islamic grave it of another person, making excavation difficult without stirring up a great deal of trouble.

See the scholarship of Holger Kersten and Nicolas Notovitch for the details and written evidence.

Attaining JHANA ("meditative absorption")

Beth Upton (bethupton.com); Dhr. Seven (text); Ashley Wells (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly

The Buddha spoke in praise of jhana ("meditative absorption"). He learned and practiced the jhanas in the first years when he first set out on his quest. He exercised them as his last act before reclining into final nirvana.

He became the Buddha, the "Awakened One," because he stopped wasting time with severe austerities and penances punishing the body (extreme asceticism). Remembering that as a baby (and in many previous existences) he had spontaneously entered jhana under a tree, he realized that the bliss and pleasure (piti) born of jhana was not something to avoid the way he was avoiding hedonistic sense pleasures, which he had practiced to the extreme as a Scythian prince before renouncing.

Jhana overview

This turnaround put him on the path of jhana, or serenity, which stabilized and temporarily purified his mind/heart. Then when he practiced insight -- mindfulness and contemplation -- it suddenly paid off and resulted in his great awakening. In fact, we see that in the sutras or discourses (suttas), the very word "meditation" is jhana and its derivative jhayanti or "meditating."

Cultivation (bhavana) usually gets this English language designation today and more rarely our "field of endeavor or intentional work" (kammatthana, kamma = karma = action) or effort with a particular meditation object or theme. Jhana is fundamental to the Buddha's "gradual training."

Let's get started: First Jhana

When one becomes established in right-concentration or samma-samadhi then the application of right-mindfulness becomes fruitful for the practice of insight meditation (vipassana). Insight meditation without at least access- or neighborhood-concentration -- and, of course, "concentration" is a terrible and misleading translation of samadhi but one we're stuck with for the moment -- is fruitless.

It will not produce insight because we are not able to be with our subtle object(s) of attention in a stable way. Therefore, the Buddha's path in brief is virtue (sila) to make the mind/heart settled and pliable, concentration (samadhi) to temporarily strengthen and purify it, and insight (vipassana) to awaken, liberate, and permanently purify it.

What is jhana?
(Beth Upton) Jan. 23, 2023. Here is a brief explanation of what is (and what is not) a jhana.

Ash Wednesday: 40 days of LENT begin

Recovering Catholic editors, Wisdom Quarterly; Family Guy mass; NationalToday.com/lent
We used to be Middle Eastern Northern Africans. Then we got promoted to Nordic whites.
Sadhus, holy men in India, wear forehead ashes (thehansindia.com/Journey of an AGHORI)
.
Negative side effects of Fukitol
Lent begins. Penance is for penitent Catholics, so let's get going with the guilt. Get on yer knees and apologize to the God before He smites ya. And say "sorry" to His son, too. Go on. (The Holy Mother/Wife, a manifestation of compassionate Kwan Yin has already forgiven you that you might forgive others, like us, friends).

"Holy Week" allegedly commemorates a week in Jesus the Nazarene’s life. In it are the days between Lazarus Saturday and sexy pagan holy days leading up to Easter (formerly important in the worship of the Goddess Eostre), spring, in the rebirth of their devaputra, or "son of god," any being reborn among the celestial devas.

 
Holy Week has Fat Tuesday (aka Mardi Gras), Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and other special days. This was the most important week in the earthly life of Jesus (Y'shua, Joshua, Saint Issa). But the tradition of smearing ashes on the forehead goes back much earlier than Christianity and Judaism. It is an Indian custom, where pyre ashes known as tilak (similar to the bindi) decorate the forehead. 
Why do Roman Catholics in the U.S. worship the Madonna? Oh, not this Madonna!

When is Lent (the fasting period)?
Catholicism borrows from religions
Lent will be observed from February 22nd to April 8th this year (2023). It is a fasting [vegetarian food only, as it used to be observed and still is in places like super-Christian Ethiopia/biblical Kush] period of religious observance in the Christian liturgical calendar, marking the 40 days that Jesus spent fasting in the desert, enduring temptation by Satan, the Devil. It is a period of grief, which is ended by a grand celebration of Easter [when mushrooms are hunted in their oval white or colorful form among the spring grass]. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends approximately six weeks later. More
Going to church on Sunday is bad enough, but we're going to Mass tonight, too?

Sadhguru cycles to Lakota country, USA (video)

Sadhguru, 9/26/20, 11/3/20; Dr. Todd Grande; Seth Auberon, Sheldon S. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Lakota nation chief warmly welcomes Sadhguru and honors him with a gift of sacred feathers
(Life At Isha) BEAR BUTTE, South Dakota - Sadhguru (aka Jaggi Vasudev), during his early days of exploring Native America, visited Bear Butte, the Black Hills where he met Chief Izzy Black Spotted Horse of the Lakota Nation. The Lakota chief warmly welcomed Sadhguru and honored him with a gift of sacred feathers.


(Sadhguru) Sadhguru (who some may consider a baloney cannon, phony, chicken slaughterer, while others hold him up as a modern "mystic" and "true guru") explains the uniqueness of Native American spirituality. He helped saintly footballer Tom Brady and the devil Gordon Ramsay (Hell's Kitchen) calm down, so he must be doing at least one thing right.

I like Guru Jaggi. He helped me eat veg.
Sadhguru answers a question from Dr. Kiran Bedi about the difference between Indian spirituality and Native American spirituality. 

Yogi, [phony?], mystic, and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, [or a heart-saddening mix of BS and hot air, generic woo-woo charlatan full of platitudes], his life and work serves as a reminder that yoga is a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times. #Sadhguru

Fastest way to end suffering (Sadhguru)


The FASTEST Way to End SUFFERING || Motivational Speech
(2/4/22) Sadhguru: Now you have to create a little distance. Once you're above the intellectual process, suffering is finished in your life because all suffering is manufactured there in your logical mind. When you're into your intellect, when you're stuck in your intellect, you're a nonstop suffering human being. Wherever you're put, you have a way of creating some kind of suffering your fears, your anxieties, your tensions, your stress. Just see, people are capable of suffering just about anything.

What is the path to the end of suffering?
The problem is the intellect or being too intellectual. Sadhguru does not provide the solution, but Buddhism does. We must get out of our heads and into our hearts to stop hammering things out by mere reasoning and going straight to the heart of the matter by intuitive insight -- direct seeing of things as they really are. That is what the Noble Eightfold Path is for, to ennoble (enlighten) the mind.
