The Nisargadatta Yahoo Group has a few posts on this. Here's one that's pretty wild by someone who claims to be a former follower: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nisargadatta/message/98608 I saw a comment elsewhere by someone who said they knew her; this person said she was bipolar. Really pretty ghastly, whatever her motivation. It's going to be very hard for her devotees to deal with-- especially the ones who tried to save her life by putting out the flames (and got burned themselves as a result, according to the Nisargadatta group poster). > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, blusc0ut <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, blusc0ut <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > A friend who is usually in the know of all things Thiru, just emailed me > > > that Radha Ma http://www.gurusfeet.com/guru/radha-ma commited > > > self-immolation > > > http://richardarunachala.wordpress.com/2011/03/06/radha-ma-attempts-self-immolation-in-tiruvannamalai/ > > > on Saturday, and died on Sunday in a hospital.
