Conny Larsson - Cult Leader?

(Klicka Här För Svenska)
Is Conny Larsson Becoming A Cult Leader?
Conny Larsson solicits his profile on VedicMasterClass.org (an entire website mostly dedicated to him, his "Master Classes" and his Anti-Sai articles). Funny enough, most of Conny's "qualifications" came from Gurus he once worshipped, eventually turned against and accused of sexual impropriety:

The following comment is located on the VedicMasterClass.org website:

"Our aim is to create an atmosphere for open-minded discussions and freedom to chose whatever suites you best from the activities provided. Secterist views are not welcome."

The comment above is wholly contradictory. I guess the alleged "open-minded discussions" are not so open-minded afterall. Anyone with "secterist views" is not allowed to participate in Conny Larsson's "open minded discussions" and they are censored and prohibited from expressing their beliefs and experiences (sounds very cultish if you ask me).

The following is a solicitation for an International Yoga Vacation (2007) with Conny Larsson (on the Yoga Harmonia website, which is very much devoted to him) where he plays the role of a Meditation Instructor, Vedic Mantra Initiator and Psychic Healer:

Conny Larsson even grants private sittings (essentially "private interviews") and believes in (and advocates for) the power of Vedic Mantras




Tie Dye Robe And Meditation Master Getting Serious




Sri Sri Conny Larsson And His Holier-Than-Thou Guru Pose



Conny Larsson studied under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and later turned on them and accused them both of sexual improprities. So what does Conny Larsson do? He sets himself up as a Meditation Teacher (i.e., "Guru"), a Vedic Mantra Initiator (he gives mantras to his 10,000 "students" and instructs them how to use them), became a Psychic Healer (in which he touches women in visually inappropriate ways), became a Trance Channeler, lectures on Yoga & spirituality, conducts seminars and teaches "Master Classes". Conny even built his own meditation retreat in Alsancak (6km outside Gime or Kyrenia) in Northern Cyprus. Conny Larsson has succumbed to the very same Guru-affliction he likes to trash and bash with others. Furthermore, Conny Larsson preaches "open-mindedness" but pubicly and bluntly censors those holding sectarian views.

What's next in this Anti-Sai three-ring circus?
