 Those who have falsely claimed to be gurus have met their match in the form of Jaf, who is from a Muslim background and who is materially and spiritually empowered. Vishwananda is also suffering from physical pains and is currently having to approach life as a normal person as opposed to being a celebrity which is a status he was aspiring to. Not having the support of Jaf who is empowered in a worldly way means that Vishwananda has been halted in finding an outlet of materially benefitting himself and Jaf is ensuring that Vishwananda faces his karmic journey which is a reassurance to all spiritual seekers who no longer have to fear being entrapped by someone falsely claiming to be a spiritual authority.

The initiative operates a waste disposal service which then upcycles or recycles items, and properly disposes of all other waste to reduce fly-tipping. One of five children, Mr Burke explained: "My mum was always on a low income r...

 An increasing concern on the subject of bogus gurus has initiated the motivation to write a passage on the question of Godmen which hopefully attempts to provoke a deeper enquiry into the nature of gurus and the so-called enlightened beings who have become increasingly fashionable in the quest for divine growth. What I have learned is that an uplifting spiritual experience can become quite addictive. One may wonder what wrong there can be in that. Surely the point of spiritual upliftment for most of us is to yearn for more until we reach inner fulfillment or peace! The most common problem facing the modern spiritual seeker is lack of adequate guidance. A specific avenue can seem quite tempting but may in fact be potentially detrimental, even disastrous, to an individual. Wandering through a few avenues of attaining spiritual heights, stories have arisen; stories of abuse of yogic power, scandal, lust, sexual abuse, kundalini mistreatment, possession, imposed soul ties and severe m...
