HELLO i AM NEW HERE,
jUST WANTED TO KNOW IF ITS ALL RIGHT TO RECOMMEND CERTAIN READING,
i EXPECT IT IS WELL KNOWN HERE BUT I HAVE JUST FOUND THIS BOOK THE BEST REMEDY FOR A VERY LONG TERM
EFFECT OF BEING CAUGHT UP IN A VERY SUBTLE CULT, ORIGINALLY AN OFFSHOOT OF THE dIVINE lIGHT mISSION-
vERY EARLY ON IT WAS KNOWN AS SPIRITUAL ORGANISATION FOR THE TEACHINGS OF MASTER. (SOTM)
BOOK; THE GURU PAPERS, BY ALSTAD AND KRAMER
I HAD DEEP SEATED TRAUMA, AFTER 25 YEARS!!! STILL FOUND STUFF THAT HAD TO BE DUG OUT AND THE PROCESS IS STILL GOING.THE FEAR IS SO GREAT THAT I STILL CANNOT MENTION THE NAME PUBLICLY, BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL OPERATING.(CLUE: IRISH, ONCE BOGNOR BASED)
JUST OCCASIONALLY I SEE PEOPLE ON FORUMS ASKING FOR CONTACTS TO OTHER EX MEMBERS OF THIS EX-PREMIE CULT.
WELL, IF YOU ARE OUT THERE , I WELCOME DIALOGUE.

Hi Isobel,
Sorry to hear what you're going through. Leaving a group that took your mind, trust and money can be difficult. But it's a good step you're taking to find others in your situation.
I'm not familiar with the group you suggest. However, I wonder if you're talking about Guru Maharaji? I've come across his name and a few youtube videos along with ex-member stories in my own guru-group research.
The guru papers is a great resource for those that have questions about guru groups being cultish or money and mind harvesters. I haven't read the whole book but the parts I've read were spot on in regards to the guru group I was involved with. It's also one of the very few books available on the guru phenomenon thats spreading across this country.
Another book you might want to check out is "Stripping the Gurus." It was written by Geoffrey Falk who himself was involved with Yogananda's Self-Realization group...before he became disillusioned. The book is a free download on his site www.strippingthegurus.com
