-Founded in 1970 by the guru Maharaj Ji, born in Hardwar, India: The only pathway to God is by submission to an "avatar", a "guru who is god"... this "Perfect Master" is Maharaj Ji, who sits in his throne with the crown of Krishna, and replaced Jesus... Ji is the Holy Spirit... but now he has "duodenal ulcer", living in the placid splendor of a large mansion in Malibu, California.

Is the "Four-fold Procedure": ...
    1- Blinding light: Seeing God with the "third eye", when the guru presses the temples and eyes of the initiate. ...
    2- Hearing celestial music: Hearing God with the "third ear", when the guru presses the ears. ...
    3- Tasting the divine nectar of God: When the guru puts its finger into the initiate throat. ...
    4- Sensing the vibrations of God: When the initiate is left almost unconscious after severe hyperventilation... rhythmic breathing for hours!. ...
    And all this, after the initiate had listened to long sermons for extended hours, and being manipulated by auto-suggestive hypnosis.

Franklin Jones, born in Boston, 1939, changed his name to Bubba Free John, and claims to be nothing less that an incarnation of God, a guru to be worship... the first American-born SIDDHA, with headquarters in New York City.

He experienced with LSD, studied at Columbia and Stanford, and at a Lutheran Seminary.

He went to India, had apparitions of the Virgen Mary, and founded the "Free Primitive Church of Divine Communion", the "Free Community Order", and the "Laughing Man Institute".

- The Doctrine, is Hinduism, specially the Advaita Vedanta, with salvation coming through total devotion to the guru, namely, Bubba John!.

... But he also performs miracles, causing violent thunderstorms, and amazing supernatural phenomena, similar to those in demonism, and classical spiritualism.

Another American!... the Jewish Bostonian Psychiatry Professor at Harvard, Dr. Richard Alpert, tries in 1961 LSD with his friend, Professor Timothy Leary. He went to India, and became a guru, with the name Baba Ram Dass.

In 1974 he founded "Hanuman", after the monkey-god of the Ramayana. He wrote "Be Here Now"; emphasizes "to live each moment meaningfully" ... but a guru is needed!... Baba!... because each person needs a special treatment: May be yoga, or sex, or LSD, or mantras... don't get into it!.

"Sa" means "Divine"; "ai" "mother"; and "baba" "father"... the "Divine Mother-Father", born in India 1926 is the guru with more apparent miracles reported: Producing objects out or the air, like ash, pendants, rings from your ear, all kinds of healing and rising the death... in the festivals he will vomit a 3-inch solid lingam!... - He died without successor... were the powers divine, satanic, psychic or merely trickery?... 7911 Willoughby Ave. Los Angeles CA 90046 .

- "Biofeedback" owes its development to the expertise of Swami Rami, the founder of the Himalayan Institute: 5,000 students a month flock the Institute on Glenview, Illinois, to learn Raja Yoga, to "exhale all problems", and "inhale energy" to become a wave of bliss in the ocean of the universe.

- Swami, can stop the heart-beat for 17 seconds, move an aluminum knitting needle while sitting 5 feet away... and this was used by Dr. Green of the prestigious Topeka, Kansas-based Menninger Foundation to develop the principles of biofeedback.

- As a monk and as an American Guru, Swami has dedicated his life to create a bridge between East and West. He feels his mission is to combine Indian religious philosophy and psychological therapeutic techniques.

Swami Muktananda Paramahansa, founded Yoga Ashram in 1961. Came to America in 1970, and there 300 meditation centers with 100,000 US followers. In America known as "Siddha Yoga Dhan" with headquarters in Oakland, California.

The system of enlightenment is called "shaktipat", and it is obtained with "the thrust of his fingers into a disciple's eyes", an old Hindu ploy of creating neurological pressure on the retina... don't' get into it!.

The leader is a lady GURU MARAJI, who has cryptically referred to herself as the Holy Spirit, Christ, Adi Shakti (the wife of Krishna), and the Virgin Mary.

- This Yoga involves the bodily awakening of "kundalini", which moves thorough the body's 7 chakras. Shoe-beating, lemons and chilies are used to combat energy-sucking demons.

- The Guru has her Palace in Poona, near Bombay, India. A mansion near Cambridge, England, and an Italian castle.

- Come to the real Holy Spirit!... to the real Virgin Mary... no tricks... only real love!.

"3HO" stands for "Healthy, Happy, Holy", and 5,000 followers (he claims 250,000), have joined his 150 Sikh Dharma U.S. ashrams.

-Yogi Bhajan, the founder, is being accused of womanizer, who demands group massages from female attendants with whom he takes turns sleeping... he claims to be the "only living master of tantrism"... of sex mysticism!.

- He also claims to be an authority in America of "Sikhism", the monotheistic system to unite Hinduism and Islam... but he never dresses as a Sikh.

- He has a 40-acre ranch near Espanola, in New Mexico... where he indulges in nude massages and rapid breathing techniques.

- "Maitreya", the Lord Master expected by the Buddhists, is, in fact, a fiction created by the New Ager Benjamin Creme... he says it is not a religion, but he advises people to meet weekly in "Maitreya Groups" to create good Energy...

- Benjamin Creme, born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1922, is a co-editor of the New Age magazine "Share International", and considers himself to be like another John the Baptist, the precursor of "Maitreya", "to make the initial approach to the public, to help create a climate of hope and expectancy".

- "Maitreya", the "Master", in Creme's fiction, is supposed to be the "Christ" expected by the Christians, the "Messiah" expected by the Jews, the reincarnation of Krishna expected by the Hindus, the "Iman Mahdi" expected by the Muslims, the "Lord Maitreya" expected by the Buddhists.

- Creme attracted much attention in the early 1980s announcing the coming of the Lord Maitreya by 1982; whe Maitreya failed to appear, Creme's popularity quikly died.

- However, Creme says that Maitreya is already alive, emerged from the Himalayas in 1977, and is living in London, in the Pakistani-Indian community as an ordinary man... but on the "Day of Declaration" the international television networks will be linked together, and Maitreya will be invited to speak to the world; we will see his face on television, but each of us will hear his words telepathically.

- Creme says that Maitreya is already making unexpected apparitions in different countries, like in Kenya in 1991, in Uganda with the healing of 400 patients with AIDS, and the healing waters in Tlacote (Mexico), Nordenau (Germany), Nadana (India) ... but all of them unsubstantiated... he appears and disappears, without anybody's notice, claims the fiction story of Creme!.

- Creme claims Maitreya predicted the fall of Communism and dozens of world social and political events, but all unsubstantiated, predicted after they had happened!.

- A major event predicted by Maitreya, through Creme, in 1988, was "an international stock market crash"... but now, in 1997, still did not happened!

- Creme calls him "the Master of all Masters", including the Master of Jesus Christ... "the Head of the Spiritual Hierarchy of Masters", "the World Teacher", "the Lord Maitreya"... though Maitreya calls himself the "Teacher".

... For Creme, "Maitreya" means "the Lord of Joy and Gladness", dedicated to the reunification of all religions and humanity, and for the economic, social, and political welfare of the whole world.

- For me, Maitreya is another Hindu-Buddhist cult, a false Messiah... Maitreya is not God, as Creme claims... the face of Maitreya exists, a good looking Hindu or Buddhist man, as given by the fiction story of Creme.
