Carl Sagan of Spirituality

Filed under: thoughts, mind-droppings

Kiara trying to be a Carl Sagan

Now that the book "Fire from Heaven" is out, I guess Kiara Sagan, oh sorry, Kiara Windrider, cannot back off from Kalki Bugwan. Carl, er Kiara, talks of the usual pseudo-scientific crap, Violet children, indigo children, super-races and now something called Ilahinoor. I never knew fecal matter could be so smelly. It’s basically more of that deeksha crap with some pseudo-astrophysics thrown in to improve credibility.

 Much like they tried to bring in the pseudo-neurobiological angle using Christian Opitz. Hold your nose and click on this.

Kiara quotes a "scientist" named Paul LaViolette (who from whatever i can find on the net seems like another Von Danikin), here’s a tidbit that hit me:

 Ilahinoor is a cosmic evolutionary energy. Like many other such energies sweeping the planet today, its purpose is to help humanity awaken to its infinite potential. Astrophysicist Paul LaViolette refers to a “galactic superwave”, emanating from the super-charged center of our Milky Way galaxy that pulses through our solar system every 13,000 years or so. Although this superwave, traveling close to the speed of light, has not reached us here in our solar system yet, it seems that we could be in the preparatory phases for it. Our bodies, hearts, and minds are being gradually re-wired in anticipation of the rather sudden evolutionary energies that may shortly be coming our way.

 First reaction: if the superwave is travelling at close to the speed of light, then how on earth can you know it is coming before it does !!!! If it has not even reached the solar system, then how can anyone detect it.
"The energies may shortly be coming our way", at the speed of light, let us not forget.

Thus, i hope readers will forgive me for jumping to the conclusion that "Fire from Heaven" or hell for all i care, and whatever scientific theories are presented in it, are just a crock of shit that should be washed down the toilet with your next dump.

Real Kalki Avatar has arrived

Filed under: info

A minor announcement follows. For those of you who have waited thousands of years for the arrival of the Kalki Avatar, and have been deeply and understandably disappointed by various charlatans like Vijay Kumar (Kalki Bhagavan and Amma, aka Kracki, Krapki etc) and a few more we won’t name, your wait could finally be over. Somewhere in the holy land of California sits the real Kalki Avatar biding His time (at Starbucks), waiting for the moment He will ascend His white arabian stallion and fly all over Mother Earth chopping heads off, or whatever. And He promises this will be on TV (Ed: hopefully not a paid channel).

Announcement: The real Kalki Avatar has arrived. Very gently click on this link, don’t break your mouse in trying to be the first to get there. His Holiness speaks at great length about Kalki Bhagavan and Amma. Very enlightening page. You may leave comments on the blog, too. (Yup, he has a blog, and asks for one dollar on his site from viewers to pay his bills). Keep sedatives at hand. Btw, Sri Kalki’s command over the English language is unrivalled, so keep dictionary in hand, too.

Move over, Amma Bhagavan and Orcs, we really believe this guy!

Tiny excerpt:

Fate of False Kalki, False Padma (Amma), his son Krishna, his wife, and his close followers will have such a horrible punishment that the world has never seen before. Everything will be broadcast live on Television. Wait for exciting events coming up soon. Till then let them enjoy royal life.

 

Ed: Hey, Sir Kalki, I hope there won’t be blood and gore all over the planet. I don’t mind if you just give Kalki and Amma a light spanking on their bottoms with a large trout, or even with one of Kracki’s own publications. And an extra 2 or 3 smacks for his indian dasas who extorted money out of us, an extra one from me too. But nothing more, please. No more lynchings, crucifixions, etc, for Christ’s sake. No more Mel Gibson movies. Sorry for being such a damp squib forgiver/pacifist etc. (And please remember that I am NO LONGER a follower. Spare me the whack !!!!)

Miracles of Sri Kalki Bhagavan

Filed under: info

A regular reader shares with us a miracle of Kalki he experienced once:

"Those were the days when I was following Kalki. We were all forced to celebrate the Anniversary when Vijay Kumar was married off to Padmavati, as this would bring us all untold grace, and them a lot of money and recruits (read: more money). We were told that in India people celebrate the marriage of Krishna and other Gods and get a lot of grace. Grace, grace, grace!

We had to invite a lot of people to the "marriage", we were forced to sell some cassettes of bhajans, and a pearl necklace (which would arrive shortly … it never did, everyone paid for the thing, but none here got it) and also forced to take up and make others take up a fast (vrat) or puja of 21 days which would culminate in a paid darshan of Amma. And that would bring us … you got it, untold grace.

Stories began doing the rounds that there were miracles at the houses of devotees who were celebrating the marriage. Lights emanating from the srimurthy. Everyone who had not conducted a marriage was eager to do so now, hoping to have a miracle in his drawing room. I saw such a miracle

Miracles of Kalki Bhagavan  I was at yet another marriage, had seen no miracles, and of course was expecting none. Would God ever shower His grace on an unbelieving shmuck like me. Sure i did the deekshas and paid darshans and all, but was I really dying to suck Kalki and Amma’s toes. Not really, not even for enlightenment. Such an undevoted devotee was I!

Getting back to the story of the miracle I saw, there we were, singing some bhajan in praise of Kalki and Amma, and suddenly I see a shining from the srimurthy.  I can’t believe my eyes! Finally I have grace crashing in on me. Mr. Shmuck gets grace! I stood up and tried to attract attention. No one else could see it. Then some tilted their heads … and could!
I would be forever remembered as the guy who first saw the light emanating from Kalki’s divine mouth. I took pictures and confirmed that it came in camera too. Incontrovertibe evidence, even Jody could not fault!!!

 Then some time later the daughter of one devotee told me rather casually that she had put lip-gloss on Kalki’s mouth. That’s why it was shining! (Well, I give the gal 100 points for honesty.) There went my miracle, down the drain, to the septic tank! Grace sort of just slid off like water slides off a water-proof jacket. So now, i finally knew how the miracles of light all over town were happening. Just a little lip-gloss, that’s all folks. Would a guy even know that such a thing as lip-gloss existed.

 We were all told by Kalki himself of celestial miracles that would happen by the end of 2005. Of course, nothing happened … except all the lip-gloss, kumkum and honey in India was suddenly selling out. Kalki was to "storm" North India by September 2005. Well, he’s pretty much still holed in in the South of India, kicked out of his own state of Tamil Nadu (to Andhra Pradesh) and it’s 2007 now.

 The date for global enlightenment has been miraculously sliding from 2012 to 2018, and by now it could be rubbing cheeks with eternity."

Thanks for sharing the miracle, pal. Back to us.

I am no psychic, but i predict that VK, the Lord of Doom, will be completely run out of business by Jody/Guruphiliac. If you insist on a date I will say "by 2012".  VK’s Oneness Temple, which carries the stench of Mordor will be razed to the ground before it sees the light of day. VK will most likely seek asylum in the US where his son is accumulating land and wealth. Once exposed, he will have not even a rat-hole to hide in, in India. The naxalites and other groups will be after his life for fleecing the poor. And thus, the purveyor of doom will meet his own doom.

Coffee-without-Jody Day

Filed under: thoughts, mind-droppings

This is one of those awful mornings when you wake up to chirping birds, and a cup of steaming strong coffee but you find that there’s nothing on guruphiliac to read with the coffee! Now i suddenly don’t know whether i need the coffee more, or Jody!

So i clicked absently on some of the links which Jody thankfully provides (avoiding my own). The Chi-Ting Guru Gossip really made my morning. I am quite a regular at Tiruvannamalai (seeker, not Guru) and I am often irritated by the stream of funny-named so-called Gurus who land up in winter like an infestation of some vermin, all claiming spiritual connections with Arunachala or Ramana. I was thrilled to see that "Kevinananda" does a nice take on them. Some excerpts, but you must read the full details on this page.

"… I know a thing or two about fraud! Since I relocated to my winter residence in Tiruvannamalai, I have noticed that seasonal trickle of Guru’s on the make, has become a veritable flood. Like a dose of dysentry flushing out the colon, they linger for a short while and then evacuate themselves to more fiscally rewarding pastures, leaving a rank and pungent stench behind them"


[Ed: Yup, he could not have put it better. And one of the places in India they evacuate themselves to is Dharamshala. The others places are the cooler climes of Europe and Southern California. The next one is about a chap called Florian Tathagatha (haha, hilarious name) who claims connections to Ramana. I too saw him frequently at the Seshadri Cafe making silly gestures with the waiters and children nearby, trying to put on the "enlightened" act. How horrible it must be, having to fake being enlightened! ]


"Apparently he has the finest sound system in Tiruvannamalai, it must be great listening to his own voice in an empty hall. He is often seen outside Sri Seshadri Ashram on the Chengam Road trying to mug (sorry hug!!!) passers by. He possesses an inherently evil smile, which marks him out as another day release from the Nuremburg Nazi hall of fame."


[Now here’s one about the hilariously named Mooji. One can clearly visualize the cow mooing. Saw him going round town on a mobike with a white lady stuck to his back. Posters stuck outside shops and cafes spoke of the "fire of self-enquiry" that he got from Papaji. Westerners must realize that when you visit a place, you respect the culture of that place. Tiru is not the place you enjoy mobike rides wrapped up in women.]

Mooji was destined to be another sad case standing outside Brixton tube station, selling 10 pound bags of weed, smack and crack. Unfortunately after a trip to India and a stay with Papaji, he hit on the jolly wheeze of becoming a guru and scamming the stupid.

[Ed: there are a bunch of other scoundrels too on that wonderful page. What His Holiness Kevinananda forgets to mention is that Kracki’s goons are also infesting Tiru, one Romanian couple were even giving their infernal deeksha on the top of Arunachala!!! Of course,they were asking for a decent figure for their "deeksha", all this on Arunachala.]

The purpose of this post was not to make fun of the non-Indians offering satsangs and programs in Tiru. You will find enough posters of smiling indians too, stuck by the sewers on the road side, offering grace and bliss. It’s just that their choice of names is just not funny enough as the above two. So go on and check the side bar on guruphiliac, on a rainy day, when Jody is not slapping Kracki and his wife with a large trout on their ever-widening butt cheeks

Latest entrant in the Global Enlightenment Industry

Filed under: info

Jody’s blog should be required reading for wannabe global enlightenment gurus. Apparently, here’s a new entrant who has not come across Guruphiliac. Like his brethren who are receiving a much-needed flogging at GP, he offers expensive camps promising almost instant enlightenment. He has an impressive following already, and we’ve just heard of him.

However, this time round, he does seem to be the real deal, the true saviour, the messiah, the deliverer.

He has been kind enough to give me time for an interview, but insisted that I come there in person to meet him. No charges for meeting him. No telephonic interviews or skype chats. That’s okay with us. I am collecting questions to ask him, and would welcome readers to add questions in the comments section of this post.

He is quite a genial chap, cocky even i might say, and doesn’t mind being put on the spot. So questions can be frank and blunt.

Kluckey BugmanI noticed that their site is very simple and sparse, no fancy photographs of a God sitting on a throne, no air-brushed Bollywood Photoshop jobs, just the facts.

Here’s the link to their blog. After you’ve read his blog, please tell all your friends to head over there for instant self-realization.

Biography of Kalki Bhagavan

Filed under: info, kalki aka insanity

A reader was kind enough to post details about Vijay Kumar (aka Kalki Bhagavan) in a comment. He also posted the same on guruphiliac. Please check the link on gp since there will be a lot of discussion there.

The story is authentic. I would know since I am one of those millions waiting to be one of the chosen 64,000 enlightened beings. Keep waiting forever, brothers. Eternity is a long time.

The reader shares how Kalki was a follower of J Krishnamurthy, later denouncing JK. JK was dismissive of Kalki’s so-called experiences, which Kalki could not forgive. Some snippets:

Vijaykumar exhibited some narcissism but always felt he lacked the handsome looks or charisma to attract a following. Shankar, on the other hand, was very articulate, had scientific credentials and very good looks. VK found people trusted Shankar and were prepared to donate land and offer financial support. When Shankar spoke people listened with rapt attention. Here was his ideal marketing manager; Vijay sprang at the opportunity of using Shankar.

Vijaykumar had a great ambition to become a Spiritual leader and this required no verifiable qualifications or education. Knowing how Indians think, I believe, with his looks and manners, he needed a man like Dr.Shankar to promote him. All he needed was an intelligent, trustworthy and sincere man like Shankar, a person who believed in him more than he himself did, to launch him on his brand name: Kalki Bhagavan. He mesmerized Shankar and possessed him and made use of him until he no longer had any need for him.

I often heard VK saying that we need people to do things and help our cause, and after they have served their purpose they can just go on with their lives. In short he meant he would use people and discard them when they have outlived their usefulness.

 


… He often said that Malayalees, that is people of Kerala, are not to be trusted and to be watched!

… Vijaykumar was rather distrustful of people and often charmed people to get things done. He was charming, treacherous, tactful and a master manipulator of events. He knew how to sideline people when they had outgrown their usefulness or have taken ideologies too seriously or sincerely and had unwittingly obstructed his personal agenda.

How I got enlightened for 5000 bucks

Filed under: thoughts, mind-droppings

This post truthfully narrates how I (and Freddyji, and Kiaraji, and millions of others) got enlightened. Yes, we did. Glory to us! Kalki Bhagavan and Amma are absolutely great and sooo loving etc etc blah blah blah.

Stooges, losers and suckers can close this page now, please.

I am tired of hearing from commenters how "full of hatred" I am. I would like to ask you, what would you do if you spent a lot of money buying a car, computer, fridge and it didn’t work. And you realized it could never. Would you sit quietly and buy another one, never uttering a word, or warning anyone else. 

Some condescending, smart commenters pop in to say "You get what you look for". So does that excuse someone for selling fake cars/computers or medicines or anything else. If someone handed you counterfeit currency or fake medicine, can i say that was what you were looking for?

All i can say is, sadly, such people are born suckers, and you will learn the hard way, if you learn at all. 

I certainly will make my voice heard. If you don’t like it, keep away.

Nominating Christian Opitz for Nobel Award

Filed under: humor, thoughts

Here’s what the talk page on wikipedia on Oneness University has to say on Christian Opitz, the so-called scientist who says that K’s deeksha/blessing/whatever causes neuro-biological changes in the recipients brain.
(provided the recipient has one- haha - now you know why i was saved).

 

Citing Christian Opitz as a scientist is like refering to Von Däniken as a archeologist or David Icke as a sociologist. [Ed: or Mandira Bedi as a cricket player] The "deeksha" phenomenon is a phenomenon of sorts, a bluff product being spread at a remarkable speed. The amazing thing being the kind of Multi Level Marketing scheme behind it making people pay as much as 5000$ for a course to get axess to the brand deekcha, ie the cults license to use their product. The license can be revoked should the believer fall from grace.

 

Anyway, I am willing to solemnly swear that the deeksha certainly caused non-refundable neuro-biological changes in my bank balance.

Oh, btw, i know someone who says that his ability to solve puzzles reduced dramatically after the deeksha, in fact, he was unable to solve some puzzles that he had previously done without a sweat, a year previously. Perhaps, the deeksha does a lobotomy of sorts … puzzling thought, you will agree :-) … but i am serious about the puzzle guy.

Deeksha Update - money refund, you got it !

Filed under: thoughts

I found a link pointing here from an "inbetweengirl", seemed to be quite open-minded about the Oneness Deeksha, and asking others to be open-minded too. Then, i came across a more recent link on her site called Deeksha Lessons" where she finally comes to her senses (hopefully).

Worth reading from the link itself (http://inbetweengirl.wordpress.com/2007/01/06/the-deeksha-cultlessons/ ) but here’s the opener for the lazy…

"I am having a hard time getting my money refunded from the people at the Oneness Movement.  They have been extremely “nice” but they are basically charging me in order to refund the money.  God, I wish I never gave them the fucking money in the first place.  It’s another expensive lesson, but the same one over and over - listen to myself, not any one else who claims to have some kind of “answer”.

(snip)

But now I have to deal with these mo-fo’s to get the money back.  And I am learning about cults and mind-control as I try to navigate through their system of niceties and bullshit.  They have me by the balls.  I want to write an expose on them before they get much larger, but who the hell has heard of deeksha?  Or, as they call it now, Oneness Deeksha or Oneness Prayer.  That edict came down from on high last week - maybe the authorities are getting on to the deeksha name.

The last time I was given this lesson to listen to my intuition, it came as a huge fucking wallop of a slap up against the side of my head.  Took me two years to get over that one.  And now it comes up again, same thing, different situation and luckily it’s only money this time. "

 Makes one feel like crying.
