Re: Mooji a cult?

I think this Mooji satsang is very relevant for the discussion:

[www.youtube.com]

I know it is long, but I will try to sum it up, although it would be really good if you guys tried to watch some of it. It is a tea satsang, where Mooji reads some letters sent by followers, answering their questions and doubts.


- This tea satsang happened when the hurricane was hitting Florida last year, and many people asked Mooji to talk a little bit about it and send good thoughts and prayers, but he treated it with disdain. ("Pray for Florida? Already done that"). Besides this, one particular person from Florida sent him a letter with their concerns, worried if Mooji would answer it before the hurricane hit, this was received with jokes and laughters from Mooji and people on the audience.


- Now, I think this is the most relevent part of the satsang for this discussion. At approximately 1:46:55, Mooji picks a new letter sent by someone with concerns about his followers touching his feet and worshiping him, and how it all feels like a cult. They also wrote about how weird it sounds when everybody answers Mooji's questions in one voice. I won't put everything he/she wrote in the letter here, I highly recommend that you guys watch this part. Mooji sounds particularly angry when they mention the word cult (from 1:57:45). Shortly after, he compares himself to the great teachers of humanity, mentioning how Jesus and Buddha's gatherings were also called sects. Around 2:03:15, Krishnabai (That girl from the bhajans, who follows Mooji wherever he goes and is seen next to him in every video. I believe she has been living with him for 7 years or so.) speaks up to defend him.


- At 2:22:05, Omkara (who's been living in Monte Sahaja for more than 10 years) gets up on the stage and delivers a note to Mooji. I feel like he wasn't meant to read it aloud, but I'm not sure about that. Apparently she wanted to let him know that people were concerned about his jokes on the Florida hurricane. At 2:39:25 he talks about the issue again.


Basically the whole satsang had a weird vibes, and I had never seen Mooji act like he does in some parts of this satsang. I'm posting because I hope this is of value for you guys.
