I assume that anonymous message about some ex who supposedly left Rawat because of some 'brain damage' caused by a 'brain tumor' and its surgical removal is about me !

This is actually quite funny and very much misleading ! It is true I've had a benign tumor surgically (and successfully) removed whilst I was an ashram premie, back in 1980. And that was not a brain tumor, as it was a benign congenital malformation of the rear fossa (outside the brain). It is also true that I gave all credit to Rawat and his 'grace' for having my life 'saved' at that time. I know quite some premies were aware of what happened to me at that time, as the circumstances were quite dramatic.

The surgery and its aftermath was quite painful - as usual for that sort of treatment ! I recovered quite quickly though, and was back to work (and service) a few months later that same year. I was a good source of revenue to the ashram believe me !

Anybody insinuating that I am somehow impaired by what happened to me 24 years ago is actually defaming me, and I won't let such nonsense go on of course.

I left rawatism in 1996 - after years and years of being an instructor, in charge of various services, and member of EV's board of directors , perfectly healthy !

And I'm still perfectly healthy - successfully practising my profession. Anybody stating the contrary is an idiot who never met me !

Beside this, Lexy, don't worry ! These idiots are harmless. They didn't do anything to me, they won't be after you ! Why ?

Anonymous slander is the mere expression of their cowardice.

What is true is that I've been lucky, and that an excellent surgeon saved me (and actually saved much more people than Rawat ever did). I know of some ashram premies who've had serious health problems and were kicked outside the ashram - and died. If my case would have been serious, I have no doubt I'd been kicked out !!
