The above Anon (Sept 25th) must either have forgotten or simply does not know Shiva is 'lord of demons' among many other things.
Shiva in exoteric mythology and popular superstition is supposed to possess the special status of lord of the bhutas or kama-lokic spooks, and is the special patron of ascetics, students of occultism, and of those training themselves in mystical knowledge.
I think Steve would qualify as a bhuta under the banner of Crowley. "Service to self" first and formost.

the elevation of kevji to the high status of "death oracle" is unwarranted,ill conceived and premature unless he comes up with a date of his own appointment with the grim reaper....the posthumous title will then be justified.....the skeptic in me doubts kevji's accurate prediction of such personal event,but one never knows.

Steve Manna cafe Woodman died on a Monday. It is Lord Shiva's day. So he couldn't have been that bad. I agree with sister klaus, the energy must have been too much for him. I know of another Tiru resident, father of the internet shop boy, who was an alcoholic, made life very difficult for his family, yet managed to die during Kathigai deepam. So let us no be judgemental about others. God knows what is in store for us.

BTW, I think Sri Sri Kevji is very prophetic in is words. He said Radhama and Steve would die and they did. Sri Kevji needs to put a cap on his mouth.

Fuck Steve and his totally useless orbital journey around the Orion Nebula. Totally bullshit, an attempt to make a somebody out of a nobody. To burn out without any punya: totally useless. This is just 'fading away' according to Neil Young. In Steve's case it was a senseless waste of human life according to his karma. The only one who compares with him is the ownner of the empty cheese shop in Monty Python who had no cheese at all: "Such a senseless waste of human life." And then he is shot! Fuck Steve and his atrocious nondescript cronies. Hari Om!

HA! HA!

Nithy hires PR man to handle the likes of our own Chi Ting Master, His holiness Sri Sri Kevji

See: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tv/Nithyananda-hires-PR-man-who-handled-Hrithik-Priyanka/articleshow/16515267.cms

With his image taking a severe beating due to controversies surrounding him in the last few years, self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda is going for an image makeover.

He has hired one of the men best qualified for the job — Dale Bhagwagar, the publicist who has worked with Bollywood actors like Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra and Shilpa Shetty, besides being a PR manager for big-budget movies like Don and Rock On.

The swami, who was in the eye of a storm after a sex scandal, managed to become the head of the Aadheenam Peetam in Tamil Nadu, but has faced rough weather since. In an attempt to repair his tattered reputation, he has hired Bhagwagar as his personal spokesperson.

Bhagwagar, who founded the Dale Bhagwagar Media Group, had worked with the controversial Celebrity Big Brother in London when Shilpa Shetty was one of the contestants.

Bhagwagar's media group has been initiating media manoeuvres such as image-building, brand management, crisis management and makeovers in Bollywood. According to sources, the swami was asked to look for someone who could help him maintain better relations with the media.

His VVIP devotees recommended Bhagwagar's name to the godman. Apparently impressed with the way Bhagwagar had handled Bigg Boss contestants, including Rakhi Sawant, Kashmeera Shah, Sambhavna Seth, Sherlyn Chopra, and Diana Hayden, the swami had no hesitation in getting him aboard.

Having decided that Bhagwagar would be his pointsman, the swami has instructed his devotees to stop all interactions with the media and to leave everything to him.

Acknowledging that he was indeed working with the swami, Bhagwagar told us, "The Nithyananda Dhyana Peetham contacted me and a contract was finalised recently. Now, I am the swami's personal spokesperson. I will be looking after all his media-related matters."

Bhagwagar, who has been in the business for 14 years, and before that, was a journalist for 12 years, said he was happy working with Nithyananda. "I have worked closely with the stars and with the Big Boss contestants. I will also handle Swami Nithyananda in a professional manner," he said.

On reports that Nithyananda was appearing on India's biggest reality show, Bigg Boss, Bhagwagar said, "It is true the godman has been approached earlier, but it's too early to either confirm or deny it."

These are many reasons Gail Tredwell, Amritananda Mayi's (Ammachi's) closest personal assistant for 20 years, felt she needed to escape the ashram.
New book coming out which will apparently reveal all.

“When I was born I had no head
My eye was single and my body was filled with light
And the light that I was, was the light that I saw by
And the light that I saw by, was the light that I was”
Douglas Traherne Harding ISB 1968

I see you are also an ISB fan, great, you know in Tiru there is a little group of fans of that incredible band. You can recognise us on being Cyclops with only one eye and being invisible like you, so if you want to contact us you are most welcome to our weekly chantings of their eternally sacred songs!

Or you might just be a fan of Thomas Traherne or Douglas Harding, In which case you are on your own.

2012-09-09T16:45:23.517+01:00

Enlightment! Only an enlightened Being can recognize a Being of Light. The reason being...the 'I' and the 'eye' is the same frequency. You can only see what you ARE. A simple formular: No 'I' = No 'eye' = No 'Light' or enlightrened Beings to be seen. "When your 'eye' becomes single you will be filled with light". This physiological event only occurs as a results of "standing under".
I have been here 8 years and no one has seen me. The Vedic teachings are designed to destroy the 'I' keeping you blind, pliable and dependent on your geneticist.

For time-being stopped wondering over who is enlightened and who is not :-)

Chi-ting Master, quite so, there's no rhyme (crime?) but you cannot ignore rythhm,the essence of music. You are far more gifted than Jean Klein in that field. Just consider ... you wield the Maestro's baton and deftly succeed in orchestrating and harmonising a symphony of otherwise shrill cacophonous noises into a coherent melifluous melodious clarity ... you reconcile clashing chords which run-of-the- mill orthodoxy rejects. Thats why your chamber concerto is appreciated by the few who listen with their hearts rather than ears.

2012-09-08T17:06:44.209+01:00

We live on the cusp of a paradox that is real and unreal. The truth is that there is no such thing as truth! That bastard progeny of separation the enlightened being - is just another shadow dancing on the wall. It doesn't matter how big a name they are. They are all faceless actors moving to the whim of great mystery. The bottom line is - there ain't no rhyme or reason!

2012-09-08T15:12:13.126+01:00

I agree with the view of SunGod.
Both Meera and Godman are not to be trusted and are far from being objective. They have no power of discrimination and have a silly sentimental attitude. The amount of mentally disturbed and narcissistic people that Papaji let loose on the satsang cicus circuit is an obvious sign that he was and is was a dangerous man (enlightened or not!) I give all the credit to Jean Klein, who I respect as being an honest and no-nonsense man. I don't know if he was enlightened and I think he never claimed that. Also he was an excellent musician and he talks a lot about hearing and listening, which I really like.

About masters, I do not know. Someone like Osho was a master, but then so was Hitler! It is a very random expression. So the winner is ...?!

2012-09-08T14:51:41.923+01:00

Jean klein projected a carefully crafted persona of a suave,genteel character, fixated with sartorial elegance,and a french predilection for the stylish and the refined,,his thinly veiled autocratic style (not as obvious as gurdjief)was in contrast to being neutral, which is the hallmark of an avadhuta like Ramana. in addition, his borrowed teaching lacked authority,and fell short of teasing out the ENTIRE-KERNEL,which papaji was quite adept at,,,,Klein may have sensed the authority/power in papaji,the very qualities he wrongly imagined in himself,resented it,and threw a hissy fit,,,,perhaps he should have stuck to his musical vocation,and not rush in where angels fear to tread.

2012-09-08T13:20:52.181+01:00

Dear Kevinandaji,
Thank you very much for this blog!
I came across a video of Jean Klein in youtube and felt that he was perhaps a genuine master, further read his teachings available on the internet and was more impressed. But there has been this incident quoted in David Godman's 'Nothing ever happened' of a meeting between Papaji and Jean Klein.

Meera: It was a sort of dinner party that was attended by
Papaji, Jean Klein and a small group of students from each
teacher.

David: What happened?

Meera: The disciples of the two teachers got into a debate about the teachings of their respective Masters, but the two teachers themselves kept mostly quiet. Though Jean Klein taught self inquiry there was a lot of difference between his and Papaji's approach to liberation. Afterwards Jean Klein advised all his students to stay away from Papaji, telling them he was a dangerous man with a dangerous teaching. He came up to me (Meera, Papaji's defacto wife) afterwards and told me directly that I should leave Papaji because I would be in great danger if I stayed with him any longer.

Jean Klein's character seemed to undergo a strange change that evening. There was a hostility and a rudeness in him that I had never seen on any of our previous meetings. He seemed to see something in Papaji that made him afraid. He wouldn't say what it was, but he did go out of his way to tell all the people there that for their own safety they should have nothing more to do with Papaji. It was a very strange response because he had previously seemed so calm and self-assured. I was very disappointed by his behaviour and by the meeting in general. It was not a success.

- I am really at a loss to explain their behaviour towards each other, couldnt this possibly mean that one of them wasnt really enlightened and they knew this between themselves? What are your thoughts? And who would you think is the genuine master of the two, I don't trust Meera's statement where she says that Jean Klein seemed to be afraid of Papaji, it could be a case where she is biased being Papaji's devotee as well as his wife. I dont trust Godman's powers of discrimination either, he is so easily taken over by the likes of Saradamma and Lakshmana Swamy and their theories of conditional results to sadhana often objectifying the 'Self'. I would be interested to know your thoughts. There was kind of a similar clash between Aurobindo and Ramana Maharshi, but it was one-sided - Aurobindo being the one who ordered none of his disciples to go to Ramana ashram while Ramana was neutral, this being recorded by N.Balaram Reddy.

firefly, you're right in attributing undiminished powers to Hanumanji in his digital manifestation.i have uploaded some hanuman apps which i watch and listen when in distress,he's a great mood boost,dont forget Anjaneya as source,progenitor of these powers,in any case reading or listening to Hanuman chalisa is awesomely powerful nostrum for uplift of spirit.

2012-09-07T21:04:57.435+01:00

You are missing the point completely! I am talking about things which never can be achieved - this is why they are a waste of your energy. For God's sake this is India! It is much more realistic to call Hanuman on his latest Android 4.1 jellybean phone and ask him to lift up the Hill and put it somewhere in the middle of nowhere: he has some experience. You are just dreaming and being arrogant because you think that the path to the inner Heart is just for idiots like RC. It is for everyone you silly bugger, there is no other way ...

2012-09-06T22:50:59.975+01:00

Richard's inner path is for his own glorification. The outer footpath and rest tops are for public safety and hygiene. How many accidents have happened on the stretch between Ramanasramam and Seshadri ashram? How many people have lost their lives or an arm or a leg? Speak to their families and ask them if it a waste of energy?

2012-09-06T15:47:54.632+01:00

Scary Chum, you became almost more annoying then Buffoon RC! What a waste of energy on plans that will never happen, not even in a hundred years. Arunachala has no interest in your silly plans and I recommend you also start walking the path to the inner Heart, it is the super-fast express video coach connection.
It's time ... Bon voyage!
