This Mooji saga is an unfortunate discredit and distraction to a life of true spirituality. But there are excellent comments and recent quotes on this forum to put things in perspective and help everyone concerned including those who followed Mooji at one time or the other in their respective healing and/or further spiritual life. Thank you so much. I concur with Mama Sahara (if you allow me this nickname!) words in making informed choice in finding appropriate places/groups/individuals you can really trust and confide because i know how important it is to share with at least one person negative inappropriate experiences that have been kept secret. Secrets are poison to the psyche.
Regarding seva as it is used in Monte Sahaja: You dont need to live in an ashram to practice seva (sanskrit word meaning service to others and ultimately God). You can do seva for free in your daily life by serving others in your profession, family and social environment in the most natural way by ethical behaviour, selfless actions in whichever situation you are. Take away the ashram and none of what we have heard would have been reported and happened. We know the saying: hell is paved with good intentions. I believe Mooji had good intentions with his idea of an ashram in Portugal but see where we are now. Even the one he speaks of as his teacher, Mooji, did not want to create an ashram for very good reasons.
