Love is feeling in the heart. But it is also a deep

respect for others and a wish not to hurt them.
This is absent in Vishwananda. Here is the
proof.

Just like a good spiritual narcissist, a normal

homosexual guru man managed to manipulate
the energies/emotions and convince his
followers that he was an avatar of God, Vishnu.
Because of their love and devotion, they did
everything he said and gave all their energy,
creativity, power, lifeforce away to him, thereby
losing their lives and their empowerment —
maybe never even knowing it had happened.

Would you consider that a spiritual crime?

Vishwananda is a homosexual self-proclaimed

guru that has been accused of coercing young
men into sex against their full will, whether
they were homosexual or not, ever since 2008.

He is able to coerce young men because they

believe he is God. For a long time, Miles Witt, a
heterosexual man, spoke out into the internet
alone, not really being heard. Eventually, I
came along and interviewed him and another
man, and it was published online.

We know there are many more who do not

come forward because they are afraid. We have
spoken to them.

Many people are always afraid. And that

is why they never come forward. That is
why only a few of us speak.
-

Maltimanjari Dasi approached me on behalf of

her guru at the Jiva Institute in Vrindavan to
find out if the allegations were true, and she
tells me that she then obtained some of her
own private testimonials through her own
research. She was focused on doing this to
serve her guru rather than for the purposes of
telling the world.

This is what she wrote to me when I wanted to

show her more private recordings:

“Dear Camila, my guru is already convinced of the

evidence I am constantly sending him… I am also
in contact with a family from Switzerland who
wants to leave.

They are very much afraid of the karmic

reactions and the anger of the Swami, which they
also personally experienced…

I have already sent him the recording that I made

myself and he heard the others. I don’t really think
he needs more evidence since the matter is clear to
me.”

If a mainstream journalist publishes this

information, more people will likely come
forward.

Vishwananda has publically lied about having

sex with men when asked. We know he is a
normal person because we have heard personal
accounts as to how he behaves privately,
especially in the early days. We heard that he
has sexual urges and behaviors similar to any
person that likes to watch strippers, for
example.

Here is another testimonial from a French man

(that is not Matthieu — it is a different man)
who does not wish to show his name, but we
have heard his recording, and we have it. It is
translated from French (not my translation):

I massaged the whole body. He quickly proposed to

be naked while I massage and he also promptly
asked me to massage around sex. Not necessarily
on sex but around sex. And then there were several
given moments when there were nonverbal
pressures; Once again I did not have the eyes to see
at that time, and too much naiveté … Nonverbal
pressures, touching, with … Before we go any
further, that was where, in place that you have
massaged and that he was naked? It was at the
ashram (Springen). The first times it was on a
place of pilgrimage. The ashram, it was in his
bungalow is that? Yes, in his bungalow, and it was
at night, between 1am and 3am — 4am. He said
people did not go to bed before. It was night, most
of the time.

Interviewer: And how did you react when he

asked you if he could be naked?

For me it was shocking. But in fact I trusted him. I

had total confidence in him. So I had no doubt that
it was going to be fine; Is it in connection with
what is called the “surrender” abandonment,
letting go, trust in the Master?

Interviewer: Did these teachings influence you?

It influenced me, yes. And his physical state, when

he was naked, were there any particular
expressions of his body? Yes, he was erect
sometimes. Yes. Reactions, obviously … He was
erect, yes. He asked me to massage his belly, to
massage around sex. He asked me once at the end,
the last time I massaged him …

In fact he was even very explicit, very clear in his

expressions. He took my hand to put it on his cock,
on his testicles. There I could not doubt anymore.
And I was very shocked indeed, especially since I
had already expressed to him that I had no
attraction for men. And there was even one time I
had said that. He even told me that anyway he
would never have asked me to massage him if I had
been homosexual … here…

Interviewer: And you what did you feel? Did

you feel a healing power or spiritual work that
was taking place on you during these practices?

I felt a lot of trouble. I needed explanations. I did

not dare to ask because I did not feel his
permission, I did not allow myself to do it. I was
waiting somewhere for explanations, to explain to
me how it worked in the unmanifest, the invisible,
or what was happening at the karmic level. There
was no explanation. I really would have liked to be
explained but here it is. I came to understand that
it was bluffing. In any case, there was a
graduation that made me mistrust little by little
until I had no doubt about the fact that I was being
manipulated.

…He claims to be a swami, a renouncer; Normally

renunciates, that … gives up … to sexuality, to
food (specific diet without onions, garlic, or
others). Often it is justified by the fact that he is the
incarnation of God on Earth, that he is beyond all
things, that he is his Leela, his Maya, and that he
does what he wants. We can not understand …
Have you ever heard such explanations, lessons?

The second time I massaged it, I think; And he told

me … he was very clear .. he said to me, “I am
above everything.” He was very clear. There I was
very shocked by the way. I was certainly outraged
by this “low-end immunity”, and at the same time
there was this fascination that was still there and I
did not have the lucidity to leave…

…It’s interesting to see that on the one hand, he is

above all, that he is God, and therefore he is
omnipotent, and on the other hand one often hears
from Bhakti Marga that he needs to this, of
sexuality with men. That otherwise “he would
disembody.” We have also spoken of “sexual
karma”: that it “would burn supposedly sexual
karma.” But we can ask ourselves questions: Why
only men, and not women? And darshan, that
would not be enough (to burn sexual karma)? And
if he is God, does he need these practices? Why not
just a blessing? These are questions that are
interesting to ask. Because on their side, at BM,
they try to justify these actions.

At first, they try to hide them, and when it

becomes too obvious to some people, they try to
justify them;

And the justifications that are reported are

troubling to a rational and reasonable person. The
fact that some people are (potential or suspected)
victims of sexual assault, some of whom may be
potentially minors (under 18), can not be justified
by the fact that, in my opinion, either Krishna or
an incarnation of Krishna or God on Earth, and
does not put him beyond the justice of men and of
earthly justice. And why would this be hidden? He
claims to be a Swami …”

“On the one hand, he asks a lot of things

to people: to give him their soul, to give
him their money: to contribute even …
physically … But on the other hand him
who he really is, and what he does. That’s
what’s shocking and shocking from my
point of view. There are families who are
divorcing, separating. There are people
selling their homes to become
renunciants. “
-

Myself, once when I was at Bhakti Marga, I heard

a Swamini from France (Swamini Godavari)
saying to a person who was in retreat; “listen, now
you are a renunciant. If I ask you to give me your
house and put all your belongings on the table, you
will have to do it,” and the person said “oh yes?
And how would I live?”

She replied, “you would do like birds; you would

live on faith, and in faith that God cares for you.”

And on the other side, we ask for a lot of

financial investment from people. Vishwananda
has a fairly luxurious lifestyle: helicopter trip; he
is offered very nice cars … And he asks retired
people, or fragile psychologically… to squander
their inheritance or their savings, leaving aside
their children, their training, etc. . People whose
children felt helpless made suicide attempts. I
think of Roshnee’s daughter, who has a suicide
attempt. And when Roshnee told VS, he laughed
and said to his daughter, “oh … but why did you
do that?” It’s troubling. But on the spot, we are
taught not to judge … everything is a Leela…

When one becomes devout, ie the first degree of

commitment, devotion, or brahmachari, he asks us
for a percentage … 10%. 10% of his income. People
are signing a contract now, those who are initiated
brahmachari or devotees: It has changed. There is a
contract today, that you sign. And you give your
RIB (Bank Statement of Identity). In this contract,
you commit to giving 10% of your income and you
make transfers.

…But in 2008 already there were several scandals

where the order of Bhakti Marga was officially
dissolved for reasons of sexual acts against the
wishes of renouncers. It was in 2008. I came in
2013. It was in 2008. I came in 2013. At the time
VS was presented as a saint, a holy man in the
service of God, to spread a message of ‘love. The
logo, by the way, is very inspired by Sai Baba (Sai
Baba had a logo with many religions, the unity of
religions, which takes what you say), and with a
motto, Serve all, Love all I believe, and
Vishwananda is Love — Patience — Unity, and a
logo that includes all religions, unity. It was this
message that had called me, a mixture of an OM, a
Cross, the Crescent of Islam, and the Star of David,
all in a lotus, for Buddhism. And I found this
message very beautiful, and that’s what I liked,
which attracted me. Over the years the logo has
changed. It became a horse. In 2015: “Awakening
of a new area”: the advent of a New Era. At the
same time Vishwananda was no longer presented
as an envoy of God, but rather, from the moment
he made the presentation of the Guru Gita on the
occasion of a Navaratri, as an incarnation of God
on earth.

And it was even said of him that he was the full

reincarnation of Krishna Narasimha and that he
could thereby do what he wanted since he was
beyond Maya and his Leela; that others could not
understand it, that we should not doubt, that we
must pay attention to the mind (“the dangers of
doubts”), that spirituality is a journey from the
mind to the heart.

But on the spot we are so enlisted … We are cooking

gradually … it is done gradually. We follow the
classes of Guru Gita. We play a lot on fear: if you
say evil about the Guru, if you have any doubt
about the guru, if you spread ragots (his sexual
acts are called “ragots”), then you go to hell, you
go into the deepest and the worst of hell and you
resume all your spiritual evolution at the stone
stadium.”

“It is true. It is true that fear is extremely

used.“
-

“I really could take the extent to which I had been

manipulated with fear. And that’s also one of the
things that allowed me to leave because when I
really realized that it was clear that it was not
right at all and not worthy of a Master who comes
to bring Love, Light, and Transformation of the
Heart.”

“After in my experience, he enslaves

them, using Guru Gita, fear, and he turns
people into sheep; sheep who can not
think, and who will contribute (to this
cult) financially, or by the Seva, when they
have no money. “
-

But for me, the Spiritual Masters turn people into

lions, not sheep. From my point of view, we
recognize a tree with its fruits. Yogananda, to
name only him — because Visham (another name
for Vishwananda) claims to be an incarnation of
Yogananda, Jesus, Saint Anthony of Padua, Padre
Pio, and so on … everyone was him … but that is
really what we learn at BM. Yogananda spent 10
years with Sri Yukteswar. And he has reached the
heights of spiritual realization. However, some
people have been with Visham for more than 10
years … Péppé, Pierre, Paul, Jacques, … and yet
their behavior does not reflect the attitude of a
highly evolved person spiritually.

For example, I heard Peppé talk about “bitch” the

salesperson of BM … They have not reached the
highest peaks of achievement. Or they hide it, and
they hide it well then …”

He and his entourage of Swamis make

people believe that he is God, when in
fact he is just a normal human being that
uses brainwashing techniques.
-

So when Paramahamsa Vishwananda told other

people to follow a guru, Nithyananda, that had
a negative impact, because anything a guru,
that is God, says, is trusted.

As the testimonials in the below video show,

Nithyananda is prostituting out young girls for
money, abusing little children, lying, and
deceiving many people into giving over their
life savings. The below video explains this with
my personal testimonial. The video has a
testimonial from one of the children and shows
other proof.

In a nutshell, I was told by Nithyananda’s group

that someone would be healed by December of
that year and when it did not happen, it started
my journey to uncover the truth.

As I show in the video, I know that what Sarah

Landry says is true because I found out what
she was saying in the videos, before she did,
from another insider.

After Jordan speaks about how he was also

sexually abused by Nithyananda, he says:

“I saw a handful of beatings done with my own

eyes being done on young adults and children.”

Sarah tells her followers new information came

to her that:

“There were select (young girls), who had

been sent to wealthy businessmen in
order to perform sexual favours in
exchange for land and money donations…

… I heard recently from a gurukul boy that

left, that he had been raped by
Nithyananda.”
—

So, that is the man that Vishwananda said was

Shiva/God, and the man that Vishwananda said
I could go to. He commits a spiritual crime
again by telling people who trust him that
another manipulative person is also God.

My mother introduced me to Vishwananda

when I was young and she was in a cult of her
own so I trusted this delusion because I trusted
her.

After I was introduced, I was gradually

brainwashed. I lost half my life to this cult until
my realising the truth about Nithyananda was
the beginning of my fight through the
deprogramming and coming to terms with the
sense of betrayal.

Every time I went to the ashram I often

collapsed on the floor and could not move. I
was diagnosed with what appeared to be
narcolepsy, but I do not know what it actually is
in hindsight. When I left the ashram it stopped
happening after a while. However, following
the instructions of Nithyananda’s group almost
finished me off. There are others who are sick
in the ashram and believe that Vishwananda is
going to make them better because he is God.

I am still alive, I fought very hard for myself and

now I am fighting for those who are
considering being with Bhakti Marga.

Bhakti Marga is not that popular (yet), so that's

why it might not be of interest to journalists,
but it will be since it is growing around the
world. Bhakti Marga recruits people at the Hale
Clinic in Regents Park, London.

Once you are brainwashed in this cult, you are

well and truly brainwashed. The truly well-
meaning, sensitive people, looking for the love
of God, people who want to help others, are
gone. Sucked away. That's why it is a spiritual
crime.

In addition, Vishwananda has stolen sacred

relics from sacred places and he was actually
sent to prison for this:

This is a German translation from a journal

article in a German anti-cult organisation:

“Because of this offense, he and two supporters

were convicted of property damage by the criminal
court in Liestal in June 2007 and disturbance of
freedom of religion and worship conditionally
sentenced to four months.

The Court saw it as proven that he had stolen

relics from followers from at least 23 churches.
From the first darshans in living rooms of private
houses and rented rooms.”

This is an article from a German newspaper:

Basellandschaftliche Zeitung / MLZ; 06/16/2007

German Translation:

“In the clutches of a charlatan

Court. A 29-year-old guru (Vishwananda) stole
relics from churches and sold them. Two
women who were addicted to the man helped
him. Three defendants were sentenced to
prison or fines yesterday for multiple
disturbances to their freedom of belief and
freedom of worship.

The youngest of the three accused, a 29-year-old

man currently lives in the United States as the
director of a religious-spiritual center. He
operated as a Hindu priest in Mauritius. He
came to Europe eight years ago and stayed in
various places in Switzerland, Germany, and
France, always succeeding in finding followers
who believed in him and financed his
extravagant lifestyle.

He met the second defendant, who was on trial

yesterday when she was looking for a healer for
her sick friend. …

… The woman helped him find relics all over

Switzerland. The bones of saints were mostly
housed in precious containers. While the
defendant opened the reliquary with a Swiss
Army knife and a glass cutter, she stood guard
at the church doors. Then she transported in
her Volvo the accused and the stolen relics
which he kept in his backpack.

The cathedral was at the beginning

The accused took relics and relic containers at
least 23 times in various Catholic churches in
Switzerland. One of the first churches that he
visited for his raids was the Arlesheim
Cathedral.
