In life, we carry many burdons on our backs: our parents dreams and our own dreams and wishes, and our failures and shortcomings, as well as the burdon of our...
I think what had me convinced for so long that CKG was The God Realized Avatar that he said he was.. were his Amazingly sincere, devoted disciples. They really...
In a post I wrote yesterday, near the very end of it I mentioned about leaving my father on his death bed at chinmoy's 'request'. Giving words to the event,...
Hi, there was another aspect to my story of grief. That had to do with my status as a disciple. In GooRoo's caste system I was not what was known as an upper...
How to begin I really do not know. In reference to the immense sharing that Julie has done I feel at a lose for words. I did want to say that I was fully...
I found this a very moving post and I can identify with you in so many ways. I was also (living) in New York when my dear mother passed way in 1997. My mother...

Thanks to Russell for his recent courageous recounting of the various attacks and threats ghose has made against his family, and for opening to us his sincere...
Great report. Thanks, Rudra. I have often wondered about Nemi, who along with Kusumita, always impressed me with her obvious intelligence, with a touch of...
I didn't respond to this message and the one before it because anything I had to say would not be enough. These posts touched me deeply. But after reading...
Thank you Rudra for your comments. You are such an inspiration to so many. You are fearless and have not given up your spiritual seeking, still trying to...
Anne, You are such a brave and noble soul. You are an inspiration to so many who have been hurt in this high-demand, coercive cult. You have paid such a high...
Dear Julie, I feel so sad reading your post. I am only happy that you were able to be with your father for 2 months while he was dying. There is no choice...
My name is Lynn, in the cult I was Durga/class of 86. Its been 20 years since I've been in contact with anyone from the cult, except Alo who found me in 1998,...
Holy Doodoo, Durga...Lynn. I doubt if you remember me but I do remember you and thanks for telling the story because I remember the gossip mill that went on...
Julie, so sorry about what chinmy did regarding your father. Sri Chinmoy is a sick manipulator and these are the kinds of stories that show the damage that...

Would you please post my message on the "files" board, it could go under "personal story" or else under threats. I think Durga's story should also be placed...
Durga/Lynn, We rembember you so well, and your mystifying "disappearance" from the Centre. As new locals, moved in from Sweden, we didn't really understand...
Hi Sara, really good to hear from you and to hear how wonderfully your post-sri life turned out. I also have remained single and enjoy the company of my...
The three stories about disciples being torn between obeying their guru or spending time with their dying parents/going to their funeral have stayed with me as...
The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to a Bangladesh economist and his bank for micro loans for the impoverished, virtually guarantees that another Bengali...
It is always good to hear from people we knew in the cult and find they have been out for many years and have found their lives. We are Ian and Andrea...
Regarding Ghose's lifetime pursuit of the Nobel Peace Prize. He used a Norweigian disciple named H**hiar as his main lobbyist in Oslo. When I first met H**hiar...
Thank you, Russell, but I don't think you or anyone else was guilty in complicity. I think that we all did what we felt was right. I do think that I, and...
Dear Ian and Andrea, hello, hello, I remember you well. Isn't it amazing how time can mean so little to our memories and after 20 years of a new life and...
My heart goes out to Anne H, Lynn and anyone who has been or is going through cancer. My mother also went through it for many years and I wasn't even around to...
