UK sources confirm collapsing of Vishwananda’s organisation

Vishwananda’s organisation has begun to collapse in some of the main regions, notably US and UK. Sources from UK confirm allegations of homosexuality between Vishwananda and some of his younger followers (UK), many of whom have since left him. Other allegations that many of the comments have highlighted have also been confirmed such as stealing from Catholic churches where a court case had arisen in Switzerland.

Regarding Vishwananda’s visit to the Sathya Sai Ashram (Prashanti Nilayam) about 3 months ago, this is where things become a bit laughable. Apparently Vishwananda, in Prashanti Nilayam, made comments that he was there to ‘save souls’! After about 2 days, he was asked to leave the ashram by a messenger there as directed by Sathya Sai Baba.

Will keep updated as and when more details are provided…….

Vishwananda – deliberately courting controversy?

Could it be possible that Vishwananda is deliberately courting controversy? The reason I ask this question is that going back to him being generally young in years and reports of malpractice having widened, could he be intentionally shrouding himself in controversy. I am not adverse to the notion of role-playing although it is very difficult to comprehend this adequately. I am also not adverse to the notion that people who have strayed on the spiritual path can become subject to reformation.

When considering someone like Vishwananda, he appeared to have distanced himself from Sathya Sai Baba in recent years according to reports, only to be seen at the Sai Baba ashram, Prashanti Nilayam, in Puttarparthi this year. Is it possible that he could be on the road to reform or could he possibly be playing some kind of role that encourages controversial behaviour or is it just a simple case of being corrupt. There are more than enough reports of malpractice and if you look at this page, there are more questions surrounding how he is guiding his followers:

If he has been positively received by Sathya Sai Baba, who knows whether it may be a case of role-playing or a case of reform that is evident? The acts of malpractice have sometimes been blatant so surely Vishwananda himself knows that controversy is likely to surface – if so, this raises more questions as to why someone of his age should not be conforming more to general guidelines of those who in positions of spiritual leadership. Is it possible that he is completely aware of his contentious or debatable acts and is deliberately provoking conflict. He must be intelligent enough to understand the repercussions of blatant contradictory behaviour so is there something more to this? Questions still keep surfacing...

July 2008 - Update

I could be mistaken about the influence Ammachi (Mata Amritanandamayi) has on Vishwananda based on the a comment from the Sai Copycats blog:

http://saicopycats.blogspot.com/2006/01/swami-vishwananda.html

.

On the above link, comment no: 13 proves to be highly informative and in line with original feedback received about Vishwananda when I first started these pages. Ammachi's response in the comment noted is off particular interest and is a perhaps a relief if she is not associated with Vishwanada although there appeared to be some links with Vishwananda having been connected to apparent support from her initially. On reports of his connection to Sai Baba, Visham is said to have visited his ashram more recently - obviously there has been much controvery surrounding Sai Baba, but as I said on my initial blog, he is an elderly figure with proven acts of good work over years etc compared to Vishwananda who is still a young man and has yet to prove himself.

.

This comment is very detailed and worth examining further for those who have had any links or dealings with Vishwananda:
