I ahve also noticed that he is getting much rounder ! and beign pushed about on a golf trolley rather than walking as he used to. Perhpas he is unwell but I ahve this sense of hm having carved out a comfortable niche for himself int eh guru market and although I think he is absoultey true in his teachings sometimes I find myself wondering how he can give so much to so many and then the cynic comes in and says that if you calculate how much he is making when a couple of hundred people come to three satsangs a day that is no mean fee for his words. I hate thinking these things as I ahve been very much helped by all his videos, but I do agree that the clarity could become compromised by asking for money .. not only that you tend to attract the wealthy 'trendy' westerners who see everything from teh standpoint of consumerism, I paid my $20 to 'get' awakening ... !and take home a spiritual souvenir .. a hug, some beads blessed by him, etc etc ... :( It is a bit sad ... though most of what Ive learned from Mooji has cost e absoultely nothing as Ive done it all on youtube Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-49020876334423381092017-06-12T13:16:12.168-07:002017-06-12T13:16:12.168-07:00Annual return of their sales part here: https://be...Annual return of their sales part here: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07081024/filing-history<br /><br />And then the financial details of their registered charity here:<br />http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Accounts/Ends16/0001144016_AC_20151231_E_C.PDF<br /><br />They're raking it in!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-43887991632869895532017-05-06T02:59:24.368-07:002017-05-06T02:59:24.368-07:00This is my first time visit here.

I strongly feel Papaji's power working through Mooji.... and Mooji is the only real pointer left to lead one to Papajis Satsang videos.... which are a real delight to any spiritual seeker... A person should really be blind or deaf if they could not see the sincerity in the speeches by Mooji and his dedication to truth when addressing the questions from seekers... Never once I saw him partial or easy going in his reply to any seeker... just because they have given some money for attending Satsang... Also if money were the only criteria why the Satsang videos come free on youtube....

Having been raised as a Fundamentalist Christian, knowing many members of the "ministry" as blood relatives, extended family, close family friends, and other relationships, I have been in a position of multiple perspectives to view those who are spiritual teachers both in their spiritual/public relationships, and spiritual/private relationships. I have witnessed and heard first-hand accounts of amazing miraculous material provision appearing from almost thin air. I have also witnessed great hardship as leaders sought to preserve life and family while still continuing to "minister," sometimes quite selflessly, to others. I have also seen leaders fall . . . hard . . . into either inept handling of church funds, unwise and even immoral dealings with other people, falls which destroyed ministries, lives, families, and faith. I say there are NO religious and/or spiritual leaders, teachers, gurus, etc., who are exempt from the possibility of becoming corrupt or even perverted in their efforts to balance their practical lives with their spiritual callings. Why pick on Mooji? Pick on Christian televanagelists, too. No human being is above corruption. I do not think Mooji is corrupt because he charges for satsungs, etc. He is a spiritual being having a human experience. Leave him alone, as another great teacher, Jesus, let His own works speak for him. Weigh the good of the thousands who have benefited by his teachings with the small practical fact that money is necessary in the material world. Millions will rush to Paypal to buy DVD's of rock stars, t-shirts, memorabilia, artwork . . .and ask, how many criticize them for charging for their music or art? It is just expected. I would rather listen to Mooji than any rock star I know. Leave the man alone. Stop this hypocrisy that because something is "spiritual," it should be free. If you want it for free, get it by yourself, forget about gurus. If Mooji did not have a powerful presence and a powerful consciousness flowing through him, he would not be in this position to be famous enough to be criticized. Jesus tried to maintain secrecy in his miracle-working at first, but the need of humanity led him more and more into the public eye as He responded to the overwhelming need of humanity. Jesus was crucified for "becoming a public figure." Don't crucify Mooji. If you need or desire guidance, or merely companionship on your journey, stop bitching and perpetuating this double standard, and open your pocketbook along with your heart. Or, keep your pocketbook closed and be known as a miser. You will make many people happy during your lifetime, Scrooge.Annita Rackleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865288532868095332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-1090311630918701742014-11-29T08:43:52.162-08:002014-11-29T08:43:52.162-08:00I run a weekly spiritual meeting in London ,and do...I run a weekly spiritual meeting in London ,and do not charge money .The difference between charging money and not charging is incredible .People really trust the process .It's pure joy.<br />My take on it is , if you want to start a spiritual group, church or anything else , then it's your responsibility to find the money from another area .Anything else is a con .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-23256498398957524532014-11-16T15:38:36.714-08:002014-11-16T15:38:36.714-08:00Yes, I also recall JK telling that one (in Saneen ...Yes, I also recall JK telling that one (in Saneen I think.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747074945850611747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-28876747095314339902014-06-02T18:12:53.806-07:002014-06-02T18:12:53.806-07:00"Luckily im only 26 and may have time to get ..."Luckily im only 26 and may have time to get to final reality, barring some accident."<br />That is one of the funniest things I've read in a while....surprised no one picked up on the irony..... <br />Relax mate....if you have an accident you'll get to final reality.....if you don't you'll get there in approximately 60 years depending on diet and health etc...<br />Either way...you'll get there......everybody doesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612313289374146137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-80039746536821662112013-10-31T15:48:34.542-07:002013-10-31T15:48:34.542-07:00Next Satsung in London is £150 in Novemeber...

Papaji is Mooji's guru, or ...MONEY FOR SATSANG! Papaji is Mooji's guru, or so I thought. Mooji may have received shakti transmission from papaji. Danger signs are flashing however. Has Mooji succumbed to the temptations of power and money and other unnamed bonuses? Have these satsangs become more about money than truth? <br /><br />Papaji consistently said no monies were to be taken for satsang. If payment is asked for satsang then the satsang becomes tainted, Papaji has said. There were to be no exceptions to this rule, other than to cover publishing costs for books on a not-for-profit basis. So if you as a follower have money and pay for it you will not be getting pure satsang. If you do not have money then you will not get satsang at all, ie you will not get in the door! There seems to be a well organized income stream pouring into various trusts etc from Mooji's satsangs which surely are not the purpose of satsang. What would Papaji have said? What happened to the humble Anthony Paul at Papaji's feet...see video before Mooji's awakening.<br />Satsang = meeting of truth. Truth is free.<br />Ramana Maharshi never ever charged , nor Nisagadatta Maharaj, arguably two of the greatest Non-Dual teachers of the last century.<br />Satsang by its very nature is free.<br /><br />Also,checkout David Godman on what Papaji says re satsang.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux5bY3UqQrYAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885630021351481784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-43981203146213637012013-06-20T20:14:37.416-07:002013-06-20T20:14:37.416-07:00What are you all wasting your time on this Maya fo...What are you all wasting your time on this Maya for? The Guru is within! All else are appearances. Let those who wish to donate do so. That is their karma. If Mooji's talks help them, is that not by grace also? I am Indian. In our culture, one does not charge for satsang. That is why I will never physically attend a Mooji satsang. But I occasionally watch him on YouTube. Why? Because it appears in the Absolute!
