All I've seen are emails posted here, but no actual evidence, only accusations by disgruntled former members claiming TMO status. From what I've read, the Marshy threw out the Beatles for smoking dope at TTC and he told Mia to leave after she tried to seduce him inside a cave one night.
But, I wouldn't believe a single word from Alex Mardas or Conny Larsson. It wouldn't upset me to find out about any of these alleged activities; Trungpa was well known for having relations with students; Osel Tenzin died of AIDS, Richard Baker of the San Francisco Zen Centrer once left a female student's shoes outside the door, Swami Rama was found guilty in a court after he was already dead, the Krishnamurti, the Sogyal and the Kalu have both been reported to have had girlfriends, Adi Da is probably a genuine profligate, and the Zen Master Rama, accdording to Uncle Tantra, used to have relations with all of his female students. Reports of inappropriate activities are rampant in ISKCON and ISDL. So what? But obviously nobody here has any evidence, but some like to drink the kool-aid anyway. They've been in and out of cults for most of their adult life. What I can't understand is why some people continued to work for them for years AFTER they found out about them. In one case, a Barry actually put up posters for two of these guys and a Peter actually passed out leaflets, promising enlightenment in 5-7 years. Another, Bharat2, wants me to get into 'Power Touch Yoga', taught by a former Indian pilot and left-handed basket weaver, and Vaj the Nath is trying to get me to believe in a 'Celestial Buddha' who lived over a million years ago on a planet called Meru. Now a Ron and a Billy are extolling a 'Swami G' out in Los Angeles. I wonder what Swami G. is up to? Is he anything like 'Swami Boo' in that movie 'The Guru" with Heather Graham? Go figure.
