Blame Game of Swami Balendu brothers

When one is criticized or openly questioned about their ways of fooling people into donating to their business (which looks like a charity as no one donates to a business), the genuine one should answer the questions.

But fake one tries to blame the others for attacking them. These fake wannabe guru brothers are trying to blame big organization such as isckon or nithyananda or kriplu for trying to bring him down. Who can bring down someone who is already on or under ground? These men are not even known to their own town people as they only exist online to the world through their blog which fetches them money from naive westerners. Buying 5000 Facebook friends does not count for an organization.

There are thousands of such small opportunist people in the world but these brothers from Vrindavan have gone a bit over board by learning the internet, possibly by their westerner lady - who by the way may not last with them a long time. We will all be here to see.

Their threats to me about them finding out my IP address and knowing my identity will not really get them anywhere. How would it really matter if I myself gave them my identity? Does it change the fact that they are being questioned for fooling people?

They say that they run a business and not religious organization. Those of you who live in Vrindavan, tell me if this makes any sense. When you see thousands of sadhus walking around the streets in white/oranges robes, does that not obviously equate them to being hindu holy men. Would you except them as business men asking for donations? Who are these brothers trying to fool? Swami Balendu goes onto say that he is:
Not a hindu - but uses hinduism when it suits them
Not believes in scriptures - but uses Bhagvad Gita when suits them
Not a guru - But wears orange /white guru clothes and sometimes dreadlocks
Not a guru - but has Darshans for people
Not believes in any philosophy or scriptures - but teaches yoga and ayurveda and talks about harm, gyan and bhakti yoga
Not believes in hinduism - but gives out Mantras for a charge.
Not a guru - but asks for a donations.

It is a team work for them. Balendu writes and Purnendu spreads it and Yashendu sings the praises of them and Ramona translates it for her western peeps. They have it all covered. Between 4 of them there are dozens of websites and I will talk about them in the next posts.

No one in that family has a real job and they spend countless hours online as a business of fooling people for donations for poor people’s education and meals. But the whole clan lives off of that. Which includes, three brothers their parents and lady plus all the expense of computer team that is trying to make them popular while the real people of Vrindavan are trying to help real people in real charities.

Does all the above sound like businessmen or more like Con-Men? You be the judge.

Bhagvad Gita - When a Swami says this:

For many spiritual people in the world Bhagvad Gita is one of the most respected and well read scripture. Recently there was lot of heat in Russia over this sacred scripture’s translation. Starting from historians, teachers, psychologists and even people that are non-spiritual or non-religious quote from this inspirational treasure. Yoga schools around the world give classes on teaching of Gita and it is also a part of yoga teachers training in lot of places.

What I am about the share with you will blow your mind. How would you feel when you see someone in hindu spiritual teacher’s clothes with dreadlocks or completely bald, writes his first name as Swami and lives in Vrindavan says that he does not believe in Gita because it is too old and times have changed now.

 Swami Balendu then goes on to say that the book was written by people like you and me, normal men and who knows whether Krishna really existed or not. Whatever is written in Gita is not 100% correct and we should not follow it. There is no scientific proof of any of it is what he says. At one point he also says in his diary that he has not had much academic education but have studied scriptures for 30 years.

Now if there is an atheist or person of different origin says it, I would look the other way and not give it a second thought. He is a hindu guru who says he is not a guru but dresses and acts like when as it suits his fancy. Then same person goes on to use Mantras for meditation for a price then it makes me little uncomfortable as to what is going on?

Do you ignore a swami who disrespects what is the basis of not only his own livelihood but also sentiments of people around the world.

There are many bizaar and strange writings in his public diary that will leave you utterly confused.

Please feel free to comment.
