Think of it as Wikipedia’s police department hotline. The "encyclopedia anyone can edit" includes a page where you can instantly alert the site’s brain trust to foul play. It’s called the "Conflict of Interest Noticeboard." If you suspect someone has rigged the system, using the encyclopedia to push their own agenda, this is where you turn. But there's a catch. One of the site’s leading administrators bears an extreme conflict of interest, but you can’t expose him from the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard. He created the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard.

This administrator, Jossi Fresco, is a longtime student of Prem Rawat - formerly Guru Maharaj Ji - the India-born spiritual leader who styled himself as the "Perfect Master" and fostered a worldwide religious movement encouraging followers to call him "Lord of the Universe."

Trouble is stirring in Nirvana. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami of the Hare Krishna

movement, at a news conference in Hong Kong last week, denounced a rival

guru: self-styled divinity Maharaj Ji, 16, now counseling his disciples in

California. The ascetic Swami, whose followers constitute a kind of

saffron-robed Hindu version of the Salvation Army, began by saying, "You've

got to decide whether he is God, or a dog." Noting the young leader's

luxurious life style, the Swami declared rather ominously, "He is cheating

people, but he will be cheated in a bigger way. When God meets cheats, he

can be a better cheat than they."

"Guru Maharaji" is really a terrible person. He loves to eat the flesh of baby calves. He owns his own specialty ranch where he raises these calves and personally chooses which one he wants to eat.

 

For a Hindu "guru" to do this is just as low as it gets. Yet some people complain when Prabhupada calls such people as "rascals".
