He was banned - rumour was that he had a previous drug conviction, that was used as a pretext to keep him out - but I don't know about his current status. John de Ruiter was also banned but his lawyer wife has managed to get him back in and he has been selling his tawdry wares (ie how to embody bullshit) in Boulder and San Francisco.

They will be staying at Ramana Towers. As for the squalor, I know one 'guroo" explained it away as 'simple India experience" and people bought it.

You know, Chi Ting Master, I think this Deva guy is the one who had talked two friends of mine - a mother and daughter - into coming to Tiru with him and sit in silence for $500 a day - (I will have to check with them to be sure). The two women were so excited that he was going to do for them what Bhagavan did for a lot of people in his day. If it isn't this Deva guy then it is some one in the U.S. who is enterprising enough to get people to sign up to sit with him in silence in Tiru. Phew! I was able to smack some sense into the two women by showing them this blog and another. They didn't join.

Bhagavan was so much more than just sitting in silence. He had the ability to show people their own divinity for free. OMG $775 for c****? People wake up.

2014-01-11T11:02:25.816+00:00

A few years ago whilst in Tiru I was just about to enter the front door of my hotel when I heard excited, raised voices and paused to have a look. A local sadhu had latched onto a western guy and were trying to converse, meanwhile the local Moslem shop keeper had been roped in as an interpreter and the conversaton was getting very animated. The western guy glowered at me to shove off "HE'S MY FIND, MOVE ON!" I had to laugh at this comic situation, at this poor sadhus attempts to milk some money out of the situation, contrasted with the westeners delusion at finding a prized guru. The farcical upshot was who was milking whom?

2014-01-11T10:27:09.028+00:00

Don't be fooled by John de Ruiter. He has has own special take on everything which he calls his "knowing". He is completely in love with his tender Christ like image sprinkled with serious academic philosophy. He will weave a poetic rhetoric that sounds impressive but has no meaning at all. He promises everything and gives nothing. His true message is: he loves himself and he wants you to love him too. Coming from an orthodox Dutch Christian community (Amish Style) in the Canadian mid west, he dropped out of priest college to the shock of his bible ranting family and decided to become his own "fisher of men and women". He has his own unique mystical ideas about Ramana and the mountain but his domain is firmly established in Edmonton, Alberta where he keeps his cult following on a very short leash. His regular trips around the world are recruitment drives for his cult. John realized that most of his loyal followers will have a use by date when they finally get to see that its all only about John and his Edmonton home. So its important for him to always keep a flow of fresh followers coming in to keep the wheels rolling smoothly and his position and status asurred. He only came to hear about Ramana and Arunachala from a group of disgruntled Osho disciples who advised him that if he wanted to expand his little Edmonton Christian bookshop cult, he should go visit Pune and later on Tiruvanamalai. So he took the advice, he went forth and multiplied. It is no surprise that a decade later, John is returning to his old hunting ground. So watch out readers, he could be hunting for you!

Yo Upad, Walk around the mountain - on the outer path - but try not to get run over. In the 3.5 hours you will be with Arunachala, I promise you, you will be a changed person. Write to us about that. Who is Dakshinamurthy... David Godman? I don't think so. The Chi Ting Master, may be, but definitely not David Godman. Godman is a great soul. He helped me a lot when I was new to Tiru. How did you go to the roof of Ramana ashram. They told me it was out of bounds. Sorry, Upad, I dont know where people go on their scooters. I dont own one, nor have I ever ridden one because they are way too dangerous for Indian roads. Keep us informed of your adventures.

Devaji is doing his retreat at Ramana Towers but I wonder if he has checked into who will be doing the catering? The last Satsang Barbie retreat was at Ramana Towers and everyone including Barbie got very very sick. That was her last retreat in Tiru and she never came back.

De Ruiter in Tiru! He hasn't been for over a decade. The last time he has here he was ritually abused by Hapi and a drunken accomplice and he never returned!

2014-01-10T12:34:43.879+00:00

So its now official. Mooji in Rishikesh February and March. So I guess that means he won't be coming to Tiru. But we will have to suffer 5 days of John de Vampire. Could be worse.

Yes, that's the unfortunate picture of Waldman looking like a not too friendly Casper the ghost, or should I say goat!

2014-01-10T12:21:38.555+00:00

David Waldman's upcoming event in Tiru is yet another low point in a constant procession of villains, scoundrels and emotional stalkers. Devaji seems to come across as particularly venal. The mongrel booked the poshest venue in Tiru for his jet setting Mount Shasta wealthy wankers ... presumably a more humble venue would not be conducive for the spiritual upliftment of his well heeled clientele (unlike Mooji who conducts a bargain basement operation for the budget conscious). Has this dubious character been granted a business visa? A tourist visa? Or perhaps a new category called Charlatan's Temporary Passage to India ... The good news is that Tiru's dogs are honing their teeth in anticipation of his arrival.

2014-01-10T11:16:17.963+00:00

Why can't Devaji create his own melody instead of singing someone else's song? There's a picture of this creepy Waldman draped in a sheet in an utterly sad attempt to mimic the famous photo of Ramana wrapped in a shawl. These antics are laughable!

2014-01-09T21:01:44.158+00:00

Actually the one who most resembles Devaji is that infamous local sit-singer, Upahar Anand. If you look on Waldman's site here, you'll see a beardless Devaji. The resemblance is stunning - obviously a steroid enhanced version of the sit-singer - with a bit more mojo!

2014-01-09T20:10:33.006+00:00

I agree Kevji, his arrogance is writ large on his face. What this Lilliputian lacks in stature is more than made up for by his propensity for pugilism. There have also been reports of him being a wife basher. However, his short fuse appears to be his biggest enemy.

But Isaac Shapiro is shorter. I remember fending him off at a birthday party in the Varunachalam compound and it was like having a truculent dwarf kicking at my shins!

2014-01-09T13:02:36.541+00:00

Are you guys sure it's not Isaac Shapiro's semi-identical twin? Isaac's developed a cross-eyed look after years of oggling his female fans. This guy (WALDMAN) already appears to have acquired the signature lecherous gaze as a charm to sweep swooning Cinderellas off their wobbly feet. Do they share a common Annunaki lust for power?
