Welcome to Guruphiliac Forum

I'm consumed by the notion that nondual understanding is obscured by the superstitious ideas gurus attempt to qualify themselves with. It's one thing to speak from an experiential understanding, it's entirely another to allow yourself to be projected as some kind of magic king or queen. Many of the larger satsangs are sustained by the desire of people to be in the presence of divinity. Gurus use the idea of their enlightenment to support the idea of their divinity. This degrades the nondual truth we all share and only serves to create occluding concepts where clarity is desired.

Let these forums be a place for spirited discussion and disclosure in an atmosphere of moderate toleration. Attack the ideas, not their holder, and I'm sure we'll all have a good time.

Sure, there are hundreds of fawning propaganda pieces seeded by the likes of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and his ilk, but do these really reflect the attitudes of India's clear-minded folk? We certainly would like to think not. So we…

If you do decide to get out, you better be ready for some South-Central L.A., Boyz 'N The Hood-style drive-by character assassination:I became an ex-Amma devotee over a year ago, and these people are still…

Feed - Guruphiliac: The BG Doesn't Do TV — File under: Gurubusting and The Siddhi of PR We'd scale K2 without the ropes to proclaim our undying admiration for the Bored Guru. Here he turns down an offer to Sri Sri-size himself:BG is not against televised spiritual lessons, but he had kept himself away from it. He somehow missed that fire in his belly, to spread the 'good word' which can probably save sorrow and suffering of the…
