You will find many statements in Swami Balendu’s blog that are contradictory in nature and the only reason he criticizes is to self promote. Why else? The healthy criticism is when it does not benefit you in any which way. When him and his crew belittles the religion, any religion, it is to show that since they don’t belong to any religion it should mean they are better. If you are against all religions, one would think that you may be an atheist but it is not true in their case as they use God for their benefit whenever it suits them.
They are against all the religions as stated in many of their posts.
They are against spiritual teachers
They are non-religious
They are against hindu scriptures or any scriptures
They are against traditions and culture of India as evident by their rants about them
What do they have to gain by writing all this? It is self promotion. Majority of people are questioning as to what is happening in religion and culture. So they came up with a great idea to tap into this group of people and still maintain their older clientele as being in a Swami or Guru Garb. It is a win win situation.
Since this a sole source of income for the entire clan.
My question is what is it that they are offering? Mere criticism of others for self promotion? Quotes that are not new but are re-written and basically originated from many different religious scriptures, be it hinduism, bible, budhism or islam. How is that for original?
They are ridiculing others with a self motive. Since others are bad, therefore they are good. Not really highlighting what is that is good in them? Running a small school which is projected by thousands of pictures of the same kids over and over while feeding them. How about quietly doing a charity and not boasting about it to the whole world? They have to brag about it because it is the charity that fetches them easy money from kind hearted people from the other countries.
I have asked many people in Vrindavan about this place and no one I mean NO ONE has even heard of it. How is that for a shock? There are far more charities that are taking place in Vrindavan without any self promotion. Check it out sometime. When I asked some of the sincere charities as to why they are not online promoting, they humbly said that we spend all our time helping people and what is the point of praising ourselves. I then asked about how do they get donations for their charities and they said that there is not a soul that comes to Vrindavan and does not donate. Poor of poor people when coming to pilgrimage want to offer help in this divine land of Krishna. They always give enough.
Then there is this group called Jaisiyaram made up of swami balendu and his brothers purnendu and yashendu goswami and their lady partner Ramona,who is spending endless hours promoting themselves for donations online. Most of the blogs are about the faults in other organizations etc. and also boasting about their goodness. Buying 5000 likes on Facebook does not constitute for a charitable organization. You cannot fool all the people all of the time.

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.

Swami Balendu and team attempts to remove my blog one more time
Swami Balendu has always said that when he writes against others and is asked to stop he goes at it even with more force and no one can stop him from telling truth (which is a lie anyway). I am going to be doing the same and will not be stopped from exposing these wannabe brothers and their lady. I am in the process of making my own website, another blog and updating this Facebook page on regular basis.
I am glad to announce that Swami Balendu and team is working real hard in trying to get my blog removed from WordPress. Ironic that they write about every living and non living religious hindu, christian person or scripture but when someone points to their defective writing then they go all over the board.
Swami Balendu and team has send me another legal notice through the wordpress that my writing about them is against copyright rules and I should stop quoting their writings. I would like for them to know that they can not fool all the people all the time as I am only writing my constitutionally protected opinion on a public issue.
So what is wrong when someone questions him? Is he not to be examined or his opinions not to be criticized? What would he do when he is questioned, will he have their mouth shut by complaints, threats and hacking their accounts. They are seasoned criminals in my opinion.
Now to show how my writings are legal and there is nothing any one can do to stop me from writing.
Thanks for all of you for writing and encouraging me to speak the truth. Your private comments mean a lot.

Short quotations will usually be fair use, not copyright infringement. The Copyright Act says that “fair use…for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.” So if you are commenting on or criticizing an item someone else has posted, a court would likely find that you have a fair use right to quote. The law favors “transformative” uses ? commentary, either praise or criticism, is better than straight copying ? but courts have said that even putting a piece of an existing work into a new context (such as a thumbnail in an image search engine) counts as “transformative.” The blog’s author might also have granted you even more generous rights through a Creative Commons license, so you should check for that as well.

Swami Balendu - Opportunist
As per the online dictionary Opportunist means, “a person who dexterously and expediently changes or adopts opinions”. Swami Balendu conveniently changes and adopts to the theories as per the need of the situation. When he is talking in context to Yoga, he agrees and uses scriptual explanation but when it comes to claiming himself to be a non hindu then he turns around completely and the very next moment he contradicts himself yet again. In next few posts I will bring dozens of such examples from his own writings on various topics.
There is no problem with people changing there opinions with life experiences but changing repeatedly or going back n forth as per vested interest is a whole another story. What Swami Balendu and crew is forgetting is that all this is recorded and is public knowledge on the internet. What other people has said to me is that they just laugh it off and do not take him seriously but I think it is time to talk about it and get it out in the open.
All the quotations below in Italics are from Swami Balendu’s public diary that he writes on daily basis. They are intended to be used under “fair use” law.
The Copyright Act says that “fair use…for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.”
Now if you look below there are excerpts from July 2010, March 2011 and December 2011 and I hope you laugh as loud as I did. I will analyze it at the end.
———————————————————————–
On March 17th 2011 Swami Balendu wrote, “You are the cup of water. In you, there is some water, which actually is part of that big ocean. The water is your soul and the ocean is that big soul with which we wish to get united. And when we get united, that is yoga. We actually are the water from the ocean.We belong to that, what we wish to get united with. If you call this ocean god, you are God, too. If you call that ocean the universe, you are the universe, too. Who are you?”
29 July 2010 Swami Balendu wrote. “ I wrote about spirits and ghosts yesterday and said that I absolutely do not believe that ghosts exist. After this answer to the question if I believe in ghosts, there is often another one that follows: ‘And what about souls? Do you believe that we have a soul? Soul is energy, the life in someone, our basic element, which moves us and keeps us alive. When there is no love in a relationship, we say it is dead. When there is no business in a company we say it is dead. Whenever the basic element of something is gone, we call it dead. When our basic element is gone, we are dead. And our soul is that which is missing then.”
Just six wks ago on 2nd Dec. 2011 Swami Balendu enlightens us once again with his superior knowledge as he wrote, “ I think the most prominent and widely spread idea is that your soul lives in your body and leaves it at the moment of death. I am not convinced even with this basic statement. You see, the main thing is that your soul is nothing material, nothing that you can measure. Due to this nature of the soul, I just don’t believe that it actually ‘lives in the body’. Your body and your soul are not separate parts and the soul, in my opinion, does not decide to leave the body once it doesn’t work anymore. I wrote about my definition of a soul before and I said: Soul, energy, love, essence, prana and god are synonyms for me. I don’t think that there are billions of souls on this earth and every second some of them leave their current bodies. I believe we all are one soul, not little pieces of that soul. You can call this soul anything but it is not countable.
In the same way that we ‘are’ our soul, I believe that food is soul, a flower is soul and water is soul. I don’t believe that man-made machines and devices are souls but everything in nature, stones, rivers, forests and more, everything that lives, that all is soul and it is the same as we are. So I would rather say that our body lives in the soul than the other way around.
I don’t believe in all of this. When I die, my soul will not leave this body and travel out of the open door to go to find a new body. The air which fills the room around us is made out of the same essence, the same love, the same god.”
I would like to end with this quote from his writing on March 27th 09. I wonder how he got the idea for this post, Introspection may be?
“We were talking today and I said that I am always honest in what I am saying. I have an opinion and if I am asked for it, I will express it. I have written in the diary before, that I do not give my advice without being asked for it. But if someone wants to know my opinion, I am honest. I will say what I feel. I see many people whose opinion changes with the person what they are speaking to. They always keep in mind that the other person likes or doesn’t like and talk according to that. This doesn’t usually come from a bad intention, on the contrary, they want to make the other person happy. Their aim is to make others happy.
My aim is to be honest and truthful. Maybe sometimes it could be that the other person doesn’t like my opinion but I have to say what I feel. I would not change my philosophy or thinking to entertain someone or to make someone happy. And what do you think is better for the other person? I have seen that one person, who talks with two different people about the same situation, gives two different opinions about it, just to make the other one happy. They do this to givehappiness to others but they can get in very difficult situations if these two people meet and sharethe advice which they received from the same person. They will find out that it was not what this person really thought because he just said what was nice for them. But I don’t want to do that. Stay honest. Others will be happy about your honest opinion”
—————————————-
All I do is shake my head and smile. In the last post he is describing himself, guilty conscious maybe?
I do not think I need to analyze or add anything here as you can see his confusion and opportunistic ways. What you may not know is that all three excerpts are from three different topics. In the first one he is talking about Yoga and explaining what yoga means per scriptures. It is right on per yogic philosophy. In the second one he is talking in Germany about energy and healing work and suddenly he needs to believe in energy of the soul because that would be right thing to do for this audience.
In the third excerpt he is talking about what happens to soul when one dies or about re-incarnation and here he is supposed to be against the hindu traditions, beliefs and religion so he wants to cut the basic belief system by proving his point.
Now if someone was only interested in one of these topics and read any of these entries by itself then they would be somewhat impressed but if they realized and said, wait a minute this is not what he said in another topic, that is when you realize his phoniness and fakeness. I am not making it up and you can see it for yourself and be amused.
I will be back with more of his mumbo jumbo. Stay tuned.
More mumbo jumbo
All the quotations below in Italics are from Swami Balendu’s public diary that he writes on daily basis. They are intended to be used under “fair use” law.
The Copyright Act says that “fair use…for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.”
On 21st December Swami Balendu writes in his blog about him not having any belief of believer or non believer. Below is a paragraph from his own mumbi jumbo—
“So you see, I don’t belong to any of the two groups, the believers and the non-believers. For believers, I don’t have any faith, I don’t believe in their scriptures or their religious rules. For non-believers, I am too much of a believer because I believe in Mantras, in prayers and in wishes. I don’t want to be a believer because I cannot blindly trust or believe in any scripture. I don’t want to be a non-believer because I don’t want to lose the freedom of sending my best wishes. So I prefer not classifying myself into any of the two categories of believers and non-believers.”
In other words one may conclude that he is a “bin Pendi ka Lota” or in english you would describe this as a “Baseless pot who with the wind can go in any direction”. Hindi speaking people will know many such people jo jidhar hawaa chali udhar ke ho gaye.
Solid people with knowledge will make up their mind one way or the other but opportunist would want to take advantage of every situation by blabbering non-sense. So in one way he is writing he believes in Mantras, prayers and wishes and on the other side he does not believe in scriptures or religion or God and yet is not an atheist.
On 14th nov 08 Swami Balendu wrote about his relationship with God -
“Of course any relation can be fixed with god and fit very well. Only with God you have thisfreedom that you can establish any relation with Him. He will accept you and love you according to that. Our scriptures say that some people even got liberated in making a relation with Him as an enemy. They saw Him as an enemy and He gave them His love, too. So there is no question what relation you should or have to make.”
I am not even sure what to say about that. Utterly confused soul trying to portray himself as a learned man. I feel sorry for people that are falling for his nonsense .
Blind leading the blind.
God help us all.
