Of the 15-20 people posting as various anonymous personae on the hate site, it has been documented that:
- One has been hospitalised for hallucinatory paranoia.
- One has acknowledged suffering from multiple personality disorder.
- One became a member of the hate group after surgery to remove a brain tumour that affected his cognitive abilities.
- One receives a pension for permanent mental disability.
- One runs a pornographic film production business.
- One, a lawyer, acknowledged in writing having embezzled $18,000 from an organisation supporting Maharaji's work.
- Another, also a lawyer, has acknowledged having been arrested three times. Although this same person insists that Maharaji "must" be guilty of some tax fraud, she herself has been levied by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for tax arrears of more than US$200,000.
- One, Neville Ackland from Australia, is in prison after being convicted for illegal weapons possession as well as possession of 150 lbs. of marijuana.
- One, a notorious cyber-hacker, was subjected to a restraining order after being investigated for domestic violence.
- Journalist John Macgregor from Byron Bay was recently held liable by the Supreme Court of Queensland for theft of private financial and credit data and convicted for contempt of court.
This is not exactly a cross-section of normal, ordinary, functional, law-abiding citizens.
See that bold part about the lawyer who "acknowledged in writing that he embezzled $18,000 from an organization supporting Maharaji's work"? That's about me. I'm that lawyer. Only problem is, I never "acknowledged" any such thing. It's a complete defamatory lie foisted in pure PRAVDA style by EV.
The truth of the matter is that once, in a joking mood, I answered someone's question about when and how I left the ashram. I'd told the real story so often I felt like kidding around this time so that's what I did. I told this obviously lame-ass joke about stealing $18k from the community treasury (as if we ever had that kind of money in our small, Canadian centre!) and then getting caught and confined in the boy's ashram where they beat me for days. My only respite was when they were upstairs singing arti and meditating. Luckily for me, they finally caught my assistant at the bus station with the funds at which point they let me go.
Now let me make this clear. Within minutes of posting that shaggy dog story I clearly, unequivocally, disavowed it. One person asked if it might be real and I said no, of course not, I was just joking. Indeed, that was obvious to everyone else and obvious to that person as well once I said as much.
So what happened? Your cult then siezed on this joke and used it not once, but several times, on various defamatory websites about me. Here's one:

Here's another:

Before that there were the outrageous CAC sites and now, worst of all in a sense because it's an actual organization's site and because they don't even mention my "claim" to have been joking, is Elan Vital itself. Oh yeah, they think that because they don't use my name on their site they can get away with it.
So what are you prepared to do about this or any other defamatory lie you see on perpetrated by your teacher?
Nothing of course. How can you? You're in a cult. Your opinion means nothing. Your moral judgment means nothing. It's Rawat's way or the highway. Isn't it? |
