Enlightenment Courses and Certificates - 10 Feb 08

Swami Ji

Today a friend visited me with whom I had not been in contact for a long time. She is from Mainz. Yesterday she sent me a message that she had the idea of contacting me and had checked my website to see where on this globe I am. And I am in Wiesbaden, just in the neighbouring town! So she sent me a message and came to visit me today. She is a very lovely person.

I remember one time when I was in Belgium someone told me of an organization in India which was advertising for a course with their Guru. The organization claimed that after a four weeks course with them you would be enlightened. The fees for this course were 5000 Dollar. They even had a money back guarantee. If you are not enlightened after this course you will get your money back. This commercial selling of enlightenment makes a strange feeling. Who will say after a four weeks course and after paying 5000 Dollar: "I am not enlightened yet." Every participant gets a certificate proving that he or she is enlightened. Then these people come back into the west and, as they spent a lot of money and would like to have some profit from their newly gained state of consciousness, they start giving enlightenment to others. That is how this business is going on. A real esoteric supermarket was created in this way.

I am not a guru and I am not trying to sell enlightenment. I am just your friend who wants to make a close connection of love and share this wonderful energy with you.

Note - This  fraud person announces himself god and is called Kalki Bhagavan. His wife is called Amma Bhagavan. See their wikipedia link. They have an organization called 'Oneness movement' and they give Deeksha. I have written about this the next day

How can someone claim to sell something as powerful as enlightenment? How can people believe in this...how can they also say at the ends that have not received enlightenment at the end of the course...wouldn't those who gave the course somehow coerce them into believing that they were enlightened, it all seems like a trap to me.

I feel sorry for people who really buy into these things. And having a money back guarantee?? They must really brainwash people into thinking they are enlightened, or else they would be giving all the money back that they ever make. Enlightenment should almost not be a word on this planet. It is something we will reach after we leave earth for the last time and never come back.

This is funny, it is sad but true that there is a market for this kind of thing. I think many people are so organized in the west that they need to have an alotted time set aside for enlightenment, and it helps to have a price attached to something so that it can represent value to them in their lives.... I would hope that more people would bring practice into their lives and not expect to become enlightened, even in this lifetime but to lead a happier and more fulfilling life.

a money back garuntee? That's hilarious. I would like to take the course and then get my money back.

You can sell everything though. Sad but true.

Words of Wisdom

  • Presence

    Children live fully and completely in the presence.

    Source
  • Psychology

    Only a rapist mentality blames rape victims for their clothing and behaviour!

    Source
  • God

    Your wishes create God.

    Source
  • Love

    If you really and truly love somebody, why are you eager to possess that person? True love is not about owning.

    Source
  • Sex

    You can often hear someone say after their first night ‘It was really a good night, I had wonderful sex’. This doesn\'t mean they did anything special. It is amazing because sex itself is such a great thing. It is not the quality of the woman and the man, it is the quality of sex itself.

    Source
  • Superstition

    It is a collective decision to believe something that everybody has always accepted. It is tradition, it is normal, it is what everybody thinks. It was never questioned and even if someone questioned it, the doubts had to be rejected because that is simply ‘what we believe’. Always keep on questioning these things - they are the most likely to be wrong!

    Source
  • Ego

    This is what modern society teaches people for their work: You are good if you are the best. You are good if you are the number one. If you are in the higher range, your ego gets artificially boosted so that you perform even better, bringing even more income and profit to the company.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Hindu scriptures say that a woman always needs protection. First by her father and her brothers, then by her husband and finally by her son. This makes women weaker and worth less - injustice of religion!

    Source
  • Happiness

    Important is not how rich you are but how happy you are.

    Source
  • Personal

    I get mails asking if I can send energy to improve their chakras and how much my fees would be? They used to pay and get energy from other Swamis or some Gurus. I want to make clear that I don't believe energy can be sold or bought and sent in this way for money. Be careful with this kind of charlatans!

    Source
  • Religion

    India still has not been able to abolish the caste system. Its root is religion and this is why, due to religion, there are still people who are considered untouchable by others.

    Source
  • Relationship

    In a relationship acceptance is necessary. If we cannot accept the other on how he is, we will not be able to maintain a successful and loving relationship.

    Source
  • Religion

    Criminals and people who do wrong live in fear of the consequences of their actions. Religion gives them a good way to find forgiveness. You only need to go to the temple regularly, tell a priest about what you have on your mind, pay some money, say some prayers and you are forgiven. Then you can go out to do the next crime.

    Source
  • Meditation

    Anything can be meditation if you are there with your full awareness.

    Source
  • Belief

    Whatever your belief is, give your child as much freedom as possible to decide on his own. If you force a child into one belief, you don’t give its mind the possibility to develop in its own way.

    Source
  • Gurus

    How can gurus who love the material, silver and gold, call themselves Paramahansa? A true Paramahansa is not interested in wealth.

    Source
  • Negativity

    In the West, many people live in negative thinking and live in fear with a negative attitude. They are hopeless, suspicious, doubtful and always see the dark side of things. Most of all, they don't enjoy life. Come out of this negativity and see how beautiful life is!

    Source
  • Food

    Eating is fun, no doubt, but it is not fun anymore when it becomes a habit.

    Source
  • Parenting

    If you only ate when you were hungry, you would never have a problem with obesity. Adults and also children get hungry naturally. Don’t eat and don’t let them eat for their entertainment, from boredom or from hunger in their thoughts and eyes.

    Source
  • Experience

    If you make relationships and break up after one week, I call it experience, not love. It is your search, looking for love. So many people can come and go, an ongoing process until you find love. But love never finishes.
