i am grateful to be able to read the Autobiography free on line; thanks Ananda! See rite hand of page for chapters.

Steve, when SRF did not renew the publishing copyright of Autobiography of a Yogi, it was released into the Gutenberg project, which includes all books which can legitimately be read since they have no mory copyrights. Ananda just released another copy on its site to get some advertisement and clicks but the official release is in the Gutenberg project.

I've read a few of crystal clarity books, the one thing that's sort of weird is a lot of PY messages are sort of rewritten in a modern and trying-to-be-more-uplifting way. I don't know about ABOY. At first I was pissed that they did this concerning Yoganada. But now I see it was just another bit of info that I can either use or discard without letting the politics of it affect me otherwise.

I see it like this.

-First, DW betrayed his Guru, Parhamansa Yogananda, by disobeying to SRF, by messing things up in India, by, sexual misbehaviour, by teaching kriya although having pronounced vows not to teach it.

-Then, DW started to exploit the name and the writings of the Guru to enhance his own status, like a parasite.


Is the great Yogananda happy about that? I strongly doubt it. In my opinion, as soon as DW has plunged into the astral hells, he's been astrally flayed alive by demons purposedly sent by his former Guru.

Guys, you can think what you want about my attitude, but I rejoice about that. Justice is being done in the  astral cosmos! Jai Guru.

Maybe. He might've made his way by now to help Babaji, never know. IMO, there is no eternal punishment, we are all God's children.

Agree.... since I have only had good experiences in my limited associatian with this man I can only feel he has been a positive influence in my life... someone else may have different experiences.... this is often the nature of our encounters with people in the world... different people
see different things.

I Agree that there cannot be eternal punishment for finite sins. The stretch in the astral hells is not going to be infinite, I believe none of us can agree with the Christian doctrine on this.

I also disagree that DW has made his way to help Babaji. Unless Babaji needs to teach a practical class to his youngest devotees on how to recognize a con man.


By the way, pls note I'm not slandering. As an administrator of this forum I have an additional duty to follow the law and remind myself and others that we are legally responsible for everything we write publicly.

Fact is that, A California Court declared DW guilty of fraud with malice, in other words, what a con man does. In other words, we are authorized to think he's a Con man by the trial acts.
Even though no human court is perfect, since the verdict has been officially issued by an official Court of the USA, what I'm doing is not slandering, rather disseminating official and public juidiciary information.

Tell us how you really feel about DW.

From Steve;

Following the law? Many times the law is corrupt. I hope you do not always follow the law since many people who did not follow it were much more respected by many of us. These people were in the Autobiography.... some of whom were saints and avatars who followed a higher law.

Sorry mccoy but many of us have seen just how courts have judged people wrong in many incidents here in Cloneland as well.

I doubt that u agree with the law here from Uncle Clone that gay marriage is legal yet the law is the law here. So u see are laws and the people that enforce them are very subjective.

So perhaps u should give up about the law. It would b a sad day in hell to listen to all the things I could begin to tell u about laws. It might be better to answer SpiritImage last post; 'What do you really feel about DW?'

Guys, you really had bad experiences with the law, I don't know if enforcement in the USA is particularly 'obnoxious'. Here they get wrong of course and innocent people are detained, but most convicts are people who really committed a real crime.

Overall Justice is very imperfect here as well and everywhere I guess. Above all, trials here are often extremely slow. Sometimes judges in 2nd degree trials issue a verdict which is just the opposite of 1st degree. Who is right? How can judges issue so different opinions evaluating exactly the same elements?

So, having agreed with the superiority of Divine Justice and the imperfection of human justice...

How do I feel personally? I feel insulted that a perfect troublemaker should write in his books that he has been a business genius. In the meanwhile blaming the SRF board of directors with Daya Mata and other recognized saints for his own colossal blunders (that was to explain how he was let out of SRF). Such heights of hubris and deceit really drive me nuts. And I feel I have a duty to expose such lies.

The sexual misbehaviour allegations are just secondary to the above.

My only concession to the guy is that he might have been mentally sick, narcisism is the name of the pathology, a distortion of one's awareness where the subject really believes that whatever he does is good, nice and just about perfect.

Either a mentally sick subject or a conman.

Well quite frankly I have also noticed some blunders on the part of SRF and it members but did not find it appropriate or noteworthy to make comments. It seems better to find and appreciate the good that I have found and to ignore the rest.

As far as the judicial system in the U.S. I have found tremendous injustices but I am also appreciative of living here.

Steve, I appreciate your playing the devil's advocate because sometimes I do that myself, the contrarian that I often am.

However, even though I have not been living in LA, I  strongly doubt any blunder from SRF will ever remotely approach the utter disaster mr DW was able to achieve (under the guise of a SRF vice-president behaving like a spy and being deported from India).

And, are SRF monks or nuns able to turn their egregious blunders into wonderful marvels of the universe? Write books calling their blunders fabulous achievements? Unrecognized fabulous achievements ...

And, since we are at it, has any SRF monk had 8 women witness against him and his indiscriminate sexual appetites toward women one half or one third his age, taking advantage of their good faith in believing him an elevated spiritual figure? And, for what it's Worth,  has such a monk been ever recognized guilty in a public trial of sexual misbehaviour and fraud with malice?

This has go to be the Real Mccoy! All drama! This has got to be a book or a movie. It's perfect! The sex! The romance! The spirituality! The intrigue! Can I buy the rights to your story Mccoy. It's a million dollar baby!

Can you imagine? To have that much drama and to revel in it. It is a way to vicariously live out the excitement in anothers person's life. I say... some people really get into it! It's like picking up a magazine of Elvis' decades after his demise and eating up every picture, every exploit, all the concerts relived!

I don't think mccoy realizes the goldmine here. It is a blockbuster!

Yes and after death this D.W. still holds a fascination over people. He could have a cult following.

Guy's ya'all right!

I might write a novel with a title going like, 'The dark monk', or 'The monk with unbridled appetites', or 'The damned monk', or 'The possessed monk'., or 'The spy with an ochre robe'. Maybe 'The horny monk' would be the best. but I also like '8 women and a monk'....
More  Suggestions are welcome.

Such titles on their own would grant the 1st million copies of sales.

True enough, I reckon it's the same fascination serial killers hold....They too have their cult followers

Everybodys got something to hide cept for me and my Monk

Manson for one.
