Ramana also taught that all things are acceptable and divine will because no one is doing them. So that includes criticism of gurus. All is predestined. So do your homework and read the texts properly!

Ramana would not tolerate criticism of gurus in front of him. He also said that the intention of the disciple is generally more important than who the guru is. perhaps we would be as well to remember this.

Charlotte
Yes, we know that the screen is just there, though I would not give it the human quality of caring and that makes your point very weak. Also the "perfect" in "All is perfect" is not appropriate for what one "believes".
You apply human qualities to statements that are beyond human conditions. Stick to the statement that "all is", without attributes. Giving your loaded moral opinion as an advaitic true-ism is not of any value!

2011-03-22T13:45:11.471+00:00

Whatever you believe Radha Ma to be or not to be, it's only pointing at what YOU are. Whether you see her as Satan or Ego incarnate or as Divine, you simply see your own reflection. All is perfect. The screen doesn't care.

2011-03-22T09:09:47.724+00:00

Radha was deeply manipulative, unhinged and disturbed. She existed at the end of both extremes. A truly divine being, yet desperate for liberation which she felt had come to her then left. It would not surprise me if she staged her death but there was a body at the hospital. Also, the letter. The incredible thing about this event is that there was a letter. She planned it. It was intentional. You either have to be enlightened or plain crazy to do that.

I saw her at Singapore airport a day before her 'death'. She had changed into a mini skirt and was wearing tarty makeup. I too believe her death was staged and she must be in Syria by now. We have many convenient non-stop flights to several destinations around the world. Come visit Singapore. Charles you go west looking for radha ma and I will go east. I am sure we will catch her. If nothing else we would have gone around the world and done ourselves a service.

2011-03-17T10:01:09.307+00:00

No. Totally wrong. Anyone can say anything they like. And there are enough people around who will believe it. The trick is all in the presentation. In the end, they are all fakes. Take a look. Show me one genuine master or one genuine seeker!

2011-03-17T08:13:30.818+00:00

Why why oh why?
I'll tell you why. Its because in spite of all the in depth analysis and debate, the Bhakti Bullshit Brigade are alive and well!
Even as the master takes his or her last breath, the BBB are on the move once again, like locusts looking for new pastures, they will feed upon yet another mortal who has somehow acquired godly status. For these blatant
opportunists, there can be no worthier cause than to
aspire to godhood under the guise of love,surrender and
devotion. Whilst the new master, only too willing to be
accommodated in such a godly fashion, dictates to all,
these co-conspirators, all breathing as one, set about
creating their inner circles and outer empires, knowing
all too well that every great sangha has its use by date.

It didn't end right there because only the one who really got it can say at the end :"there was nothing to get",not a fake Lucknowian who pretends there is nothing to get!

2011-03-15T21:10:45.792+00:00

Many of these so-called Poonja people migrated from Rajneesh (aka Osho) in 1990 when he died. Rajneesh was the first to offer instant sannyass initiation to anyone who asked for it, breaking from the tradition of long years of sadhana and preparation before it could be given. But instant enlightenment was not on offer -only the promise of a gradual awakening for those who were ready.

Poonja however, had a very different message. You are already that, prior to any idea ofinitiation or enlightenment. This came as a great relief for many of the old Osho followers. Now there was nothing to get. Great, we can call off the search and all go home now. So it should have all ended right there. But it didn't. WHY?

2011-03-15T14:30:09.249+00:00

So in the end there is a story that sounds reasonable and credible and agrees more or less with what i know abd feel about her.
So i am happy to close Radha's book and hope she is in eternal peace, united with her Satguru Sri Arunachala.

2011-03-15T11:03:33.928+00:00

I wish to give a more balanced perspective on Radha's personality than those of Alan Jacobs or Faisal(the opposites):Radha had endearing personality aspects,a joyousness,a readiness to laugh,also at herself,a witty sense of humour,the capacity to embrace people and make them feel at ease,part of herself.At the same time,she could also manipulate,lie,and hurt people in such a way that she has been able to make life-long enemies,who would curse her.The Radha guru status and personality-cult has been raised and promoted by some morons,particularly Poonja's fans,as usual,otherwise she might have just remained just an interesting and charming freak,like some others who have been residing along the westrn side of the pradakshina road over the years.On the whole,she has not been a good influence in Tiruvannamalai,she divided people instead of uniting them,she played silly self-importance games,using the"inner circle"of her sannyasins (or better,pseudo sannyasins,as they have been initiated by a woman who was not traditionally initiated herself)and former devoted friends,some of whom became in time her worst enemies.Now we wish peace anyway to her,and this peace depends now very much on the behaviour of her monks residing in her ashram,hoping that they have learned something from Radhha's life parable in the last years(I hear that her former husband Giridhar is promoting legal action against those 3 westerners,if this is true he doesn't seem to have undrstood much).Let us hope that in Tiruvannamalai,apart from Ramana who unfortunately is not anymore alive in the body,may come a real Guru,not like these leeches populating this sacred land nowadays,and bring peace and unity among us.(The sermon is over).

2011-03-15T10:00:57.356+00:00

Sita's purity of character and motivations for the fire ordeal are not to be compared with those of Radha Giridhar .We should keep a level-headed perspective,otherwise we might end up like Alan Jacobs,who has praised the book Advaitic Ratnas(misspelled by him as Advaitic Ratners),as a book which will be considered one of the masterpieces of advaitic literature!

2011-03-14T23:42:52.387+00:00

It may be a cultural thing. Lord Rama's consort Goddess Sita also stood in fire. What happened to Radha ma is really sad. She had something to offer, everyone wanted a piece of it and if they didn't get it, bad-mouthed her. It is so sad. May she rest in peace.

2011-03-14T14:08:57.155+00:00

I did not know her, but anyone who commits suicide so violently has huge issues and is clearly in great suffering.
How can someone teach Love and Truth but hate oneself themselves so much, that they kill themselves in such a horrible way?

2011-03-14T11:54:52.723+00:00

You know these 3 people are not very intelligent, instead of going straight to the police and explaining the situation (which is what I would do), they fled Tiru and are hiding somewhere, which off course looks very suspicious to the police.

Does anyone know for sure who was with her at the time?

2011-03-13T13:10:19.846+00:00

The letter indicates Radha's deliberate suicide. This is no vengeful act by Arunachala or some demonic entity - only by Radha herself.

2011-03-13T12:19:19.454+00:00

I know so. If you are in a power spot like Tiruvannamalai and indulging in anything but serious sadhana, you better watch out.

2011-03-13T11:34:31.183+00:00

So you think Arunachala is an avenging dualist deity? Maybe you have gotten confused with Yahweh in the old testament!

2011-03-13T09:43:57.157+00:00

So it is a group of 3-4 disgruntled persons who are talking so ill about a dead spiritual person who touched so many lives. I don't want to think what will happen to them when Arunachala straightens them out. I don't even want to think about it.

Anonymous,

Poonjaji said that he had met 7 or eight enlightened people in his life, and that he did not count any of his own disciples as 'enlightened'.

Agree with Sister Klaus: Arunachala himself is THE guru in thiru, and his guidance is all we need.

best,
