Thanks for your comments. I don't feel qualified to evaluate this scene in the terms of this forum. I think though that there's a risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and dismissing any possible spiritual group, however benevolent, as having cult-like qualities. Is this forum basically opposed to any spiritual group/religious group?
I would recommend you watch a recent satsang on the Mooji channel on Youtube and you will be able to form your own opinion, and perhaps post your informed view here.
Yes, people are devoted to Mooji, but that is in the bhakti yoga/Hindu tradition of being devoted to a guru. People were devoted to Ramana, too.
As an aside, it might be significant to mention that it is not possible to stay long-term at Mooji's ashram. People can visit for a one-day satsang, or a twice-yearly ten-day retreat (very over-subscribed, so attendees are decided by lottery), or for three months if you have a skill that they need and can work there. But you can't just drop everything and move there. That's not what it's about, and Mooji has said he prefers that the people there rotate.
