I always used to think this bitch was local, but then I did some digging.
This white-robed scary twat has carpetbombed my local public access cable station, as well as dozens of others across the country, it seems. The only thing creepier than her lame ass teachings are her googleplex of doe-eyed, five-days without sleep followers who she seem to have found inner peace in her one-on-one interviews. Even during these, the idiots coast along knowing not saying anything until MESSIAH guides them.
Let me reiterate. The albino white-haired dame in the robes ain’t creepy in herself. It’s the followers. They all, without exception, look like hypnotized minions.
There’s gotta be a deeper story from one of those Cultwatch groups. Anyone?
Nobody else seems too concerned with her or her minions at this stage though. None of the first hundred Google results (at least the German and English language ones) are at all critical of her.
Looks like you might be in the vanguard of opposition to the lame ass scary twat.
Eh, good for her. Her nonsense is no different from the crap any other religion hands out. If people are fools enough to swallow her twaddle, then the fault is with them, not her.
She’s not doing anything that the Christian church hasn’t been doing for the past 2,000 years.
She’s trying the whole “I have nothing to teach you” thing, which makes her seem like another Krishnamurti. But Krishnamurti was a nice guy, who was dedicated to not having people cling onto him as a saviour. This lady on the other hand, seems to want people to find enlightenment on their own but at the same time donate to her and spread her (lack of a) message.
The most bizarre bit is the PhotoGallery in the Bookstore!
This is so California, isn’t it?
“This teaching is not a religion. Although my guru’s guru was Hindu, and my guru was raised as a Hindu, it has nothing to do with East or West. It makes no distinction between Hindu, Christian, Jew, Moslem, Buddhist, Pagan, Communist, Capitalist, you or me. It is a recognition of the Omnipresence of Being in which you appear, in which I appear, in which ocean, mountain, sky, saints, bliss, and horror, appear. That field of Presence that is alive and intelligent and is coming to recognize Itself in you.”
What the heck does that mean? Geesh, do the people who give her money and attend her retreats actually bother to read the shite she spews?
My goodness…did anyone see her gumline? Too bad her omnipresent saintly mountain field of compassion and presence doesn’t lead her to a good plastic surgeon/orthodontist.
Is that how everyone else is pronouncing this white-haired 70s-guru-wannabee’s name? 'Cause it’s how I am Speaking da Name.
Her followers must be using enough ganga to be passing doobies out their asses. As Robin Williams so famously noted, marijuana enhances many things, but rational thought is not one of them.
Seriously, this is in the mold of the classic Drug Cults: charismatic leader, zonked-out-of-their-minds followers, concepts of Inner Light' and Universal Unity’ that can be traced back to really good peyote, and generally spacy pronouncements. Most are harmless, but sometimes they take themselves out and take out everyone within a certain radius.
I have seen some of Gangaji’s public access shows. They’re absolutely painful, I find the serenity she tries to project to be false and odious. Rumor has it (read: no cite) she can be a hellacious bitch behind the scenes, a la Martha Stewart. However, I don’t think her washed out followers have enough motivation or competence to execute a mass suicide.
I’ve seen the sorts of people who get into new age philosophy. You do not want a mass orgy. Or even to witness it. I’m going to go wash my forebrain out with lye now, thank you very much.
