Ok - So a few of my friends were wondering recently why I had been referring so disparagingly to the tradition of teachers of knowledge and spirituality in India on my posts on Facebook. SO HERE IT IS ~ Without being specific or naming names -
What I had been alluding to was the ochre clothe and anyone wearing it. - THE BRIGHT OROS YELLOW ORANGE CLOTH THAT THESE MONKS - read 'MONKEYS'- WEAR!
The fact is in India and abroad hiding inside this little piece of cloth are people sitting on boards of corporations, committees of this and that, trustees of this and that who are pedophiles, murderers, rapists, sex fiends and masters in the art of lying and deception. I do not exaggerate! - These people with hundreds of millions of dollars in some cases at their disposal - sanctioned by a devout Indian and international public stop at nothing. Nothing is too big an indictment for them to prevent them from appearing in public or on public platforms. Their devout followers know their secrets and are privy to their actions but do their very best to keep the truth hidden and their secrets unknown. Unable and unwilling to face the truth the followers of these DOGMEN are mute. Laundering the money of corporate India through their ashrams they wield huge power and threaten anyone who doesn't adhere to their wishes and abide by their rules. Everyone is complicit in it and in complete denial about it. The denial encourages the perpetrators further, encouraging them to continue their deception EVEN LYING TO THEMSELVES. This is the irony of it - the person himself is incapable of facing the truth and through his denial encourages everyone to think like him in denying everything.
This is so typically India. Its like you're being taken up Mount Everest by your trusted tour guide and the fucker slips and falls off the mountain only to re-appear again later that evening at the next pass having scrambled up the cliff face scarred and tattered his clothing in shreds rocks sticking out of his head looking like he's just exploded saying - 'Oh! No Sir.' Indian accent (Peter Sellers) 'Not really falling really. Little tripping only.'
So after a serious meltdown in our neighborhood I had a meeting with a dear friend of mine (a westerner) who has been living in India for over forty years and has a very large ashram and who is leader to a very large contingent- hundreds of thousands of sadhus- and we both agreed that this is the unfortunate scenario.
Should we trust anyone wearing this stuff? Well would you wear a cloth knowing it represents all these things? Should we trust anyone who still thinks its ok to wear this cloth? Any color cloth for that matter?
My feeling is - Put on jeans and a T-shirt, dump the cloth and come sit down with the rest of us. Get a job. Stop living on handouts and the good graces of other people. Get a life!
So yes we had a situation like this to deal with on our doorstep. Its unplesant to say the least.
To those of you who are still starry eyed about India and its sadhus - WATCH OUT!
One of the biggest statistics in India today are the sadhus (yogis) who are nuts sitting in asylums. From what?
Going crazy from living with dozens of young western girls - who there for a good time come and leave when it suits them. The other statistics are the christmas presents in the form of babies that accompany these relationships - the dozens of babies being shipped off to parents and grandparents in the west for child rearing and support. WATCH OUT!
This happened to be the scenario in January this year (2012). A brilliant teacher went nuts and got himself lynched by a german student who launched the lynching party by flying an international banner website in Germany anouncing to all telling everyone about our naughty teacher and how he had been a very bad boy.
My feeling intially was if his teaching was unaffected WTF! - it was ok. Who gives a shit. But after due consideration and talking to my fellow Indian brother students whom I have been studying with for the last 7 years - I had to change my attitude.
I went to India first in 2004 knowing full well that everyone of these fellows who has come to the west has had scandal after scandal following them in their name mostly to do with sex but also to do with money laundering, allegations of threats to other peoples lives - their followers, and even murder. So in my travels when I went into any ashram environment it was with the utmost skepticism and a keen eye for bullshit.
The reason I chose the first ashram I went to was because the fellow there was totally open about things.
I had seen a photo of him with a most beautiful women - who I was told was his shakti - sitting right there on the podium with him while he was giving his lectures, and he was in no way hiding anything. So I said - 'I want to meet this guy.' I went there and found a down to earth straight forward normal human being yet one whose wisdom and knowledge was profoundly tangible and present. Powerful without all the bullshit associated with most of these people. In fact he said if anyone started getting carried away and started bothering him he would just walk back into the forest again and leave society. The tone on the ashram was that of normality - he once even said 'If any of you swamis have to fuck then fuck each other- don't fuck the students.'
