More on the subject of "False Lineage".
A big fact that the Moo followers don't understand is that Papaji's "enlightenment" was self-proclaimed. Ramana Maharishi never declared any living person to be enlightened, nor did he authorize ANYONE to teach.
So, Papaji himself is out of the running to "claim" himself in any lineage to Ramana... That certainly leaves Moo, Ganaji, Madhukar and many other Papaji-milkers high and dry in terms of their claims to being in a (non existent) "Ramana lineage"
Moo is manipulating un-informed seekers to believe in the narrative that he derives his legitmacy as a guru simply by having met (the unauthorized by Ramana) Papaji
Moo indulges in the heavy use of photos of Papaji, and Ramana, massive theatre around kissing Papaji's photo, and teaches his followers to chant bhajans to Papaji, basically brainwashing his followers into deifying, and legitimizing Papaji, therefore making himself (Moo) seem all the more "legitimate" by association.
There are 2 issues here:
The first is the false notion that Papaji himself is some kind of "successor" to Ramana, and had permission to teach from Ramana Maharshi (no one did!)
The second ingores the first, and thereby equates the stating that one "awakened at the feet" of (the unauthorized by Ramana) Papaji to be some kind of universally accepted stamp of enlightenment. It's just an un-provable story, "self proclaimed enlightenment" with a lot of pr behind it! Moo followers should do there homework, and research the disgraced Andrew Cohen to get a dose of Papaji's poor discernment and judgement in claiming that he (Andrew) was enlightened. Here's a good place to start: a cataloge of trauma and abuse
All this theatre and uninformed myth-making around Papaji has lead most of Moo's scene to believe in the impossible notion that Moo is not only enlightened but some kind of "lineage-holder" to Ramana Maharshi himself (via Papaji).
Here's a link to an article quoting David Godman (author of many books on Ramana) on the fact that there is no lineage:
