Me

While I am remaining anonymous, I wanted to say that I am a young adults of swadhyay and attended youth camp several times, I would love to share my personal stories or things I have personally felt was hypocritical/scary/and flat our ridiculous for the 2 weeks I had to spend without being able to speak up against the "krutisheels and palaks." I wrote journal diaries while attending and will share them on this blog when I get the time.

"They tell us to be strong leaders, to stand up for what we believe in. Well I hope they know, I'm standing up against them. I'm eating the hand that feeds me because I'm sick of eating damn kichree all the time"

Utsavs "Sanskruti Pujan"

Mr. Paramanand M. Gandhi published a book in 1969 called Aapno Sanskrutik Varso.
This book is practically a spitting image of "sanskruti pujan" gaven by our "dadaji" many years later..
???

"Bhagawan no Bhag is being used to maintain the image of this so called self study but ultimately truth shall prevail"

...What?

"Known for her opulent lifestyle, Talwalkar has under her control many trusts like Tatvagan Vidyapith, Sanskruti Vistarak Sangh and Gyan Vistarak Sangh, which get donations from devotess all over the world. She is known to be fond of expensive sarees and perfumes, something hardly beftting the head of a socio-religious movement which preaches simplicity and harmony."
Expensive sarees? PERFUMES? 
where is she getting this money?
Oh yeah, I heard the salary for head of swadhyay organization went up another hundred thousand, apparently they brainwashed some more new doctors.

^read this,
how are the thousands of swadhyay members not seeing it?!!!

Where is didiji?

Why is that "didiji" never visits bsk or youth camps? Is it not the most important event on the swadhyay calender at the time it is happening? Why is it that she never skypes? Why is it that the only time we see her is at big events where she is sooo far way, where she parades around in a circle? to be clapped at? to be bowed down at? to be cried at? People touch her feet and feel as if they have been "touched by god". Why does she not attend swadhyay kendras going on every sunday? Does she not appreciate this work? Does she not think regular swadhyees are worthy of her visit? She has time. She has money. (see post before)
I'll tell you why.
Celebrities, Kings, Popes, Leaders make an influential impact on the general public because they keep their distance. At this distance, all is fuzzy. A blur of perfection. 
A woman plastered with dark mud on her face, from far away, this looks like her skin. A perfect tan shade. She looks beautiful.
She is actually covered with mud. Take a CLOSE look. Put "didji" underneath the microscope. Get to know her. Speak to her. Those who are close to her, the "leaders" or "true" swadhyayes that prance around with her on a daily basis. Who are they? can they tell me what she does? Can they tell me some stories about her life? 
Give me some freakin bhav prasangs on why the hell she can't attend any major swadhyay event?
Cause she wants to look like a star! She doesn't want people to think she has flaws. That she is a normal human being. 

Divine relationships or Blood relationships?

Dadaji created the illusion that "divine relationships" were between one and one under the same god. Reasons why we so consider swadhyay our family. All Bhenos our sisters, All Bhaios our brothers. We spend Milan shibir (thanksgiving) with swadhyay and Camps throughout summer break with swadhyay. We spend almost every hindu holiday with swadhyay. Every sunday, we spend with swadhyay.
If this is true, if EVERYONE is a divine sibling, then why did Dadaji leave the hands of swadhyay to Didiji? Was he putting his blood relations before his divine ones? Was there not a more suitable fit for head of the organization? Someone who had dedicated work after work? Was there even a need for ONE leader? Don't we know by examples of political governments everywhere that dictatorship is never successful?

Krishna idol copyrighted? Selling god?

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna was born in a prison but divine powers facilitated his liberation. But that was satyug. In post-WTO kalyug, an idol of Krishna is in police custody for the past four months. Reason: It has violated the Copyright Act.

The three-feet-high idol was confiscated by the Jilhapeth police in Jalgaon on August 18 after a local resident filed a complaint that it was being installed at a local temple in violation of the Copyright Act.

According to the FIR filed by Kishor Pralhad Khadse, the Sadvichar Darshan Trust, an outfit of the Swadhyay Parivar, has a copyright over the idol’s design and the trustee of a local temple, Sudhakar Kashinath Joshi, had made a copy.

If we are trying to benefit the good public and uplift society as a whole, why are so many things hidden away? 

When it gets serious, Pankaj Trivedi, Muder, Lies, and Jayshree Talwalkar

* After 2001 Gujarat earthquake, Devotional Association of Yogeshwar collected about 4.2 million dollars from people in the US. The founder’s niece claimed that they have built around 40,000 houses for the earthquake victims, but a UN report suggests that only about 10 per cent of the money collected was spent.
* In the UK, the organisation had collected about 310,097 pounds for that cause but only about 10 per cent of it was transferred to India. I have a letter from the Government of Gujarat that this organisation has not built any houses and have no ‘‘MoU’’ with it.
* They have forcefully closed ‘‘Bhavnigar Temple’’ in Ahmedabad, claiming that it is a property of the trust. However the money to build temple was collected from people and government. I have registered a legal case against them to reopen the temple, in Ahmedabad Civil Sessions Division Court and the case no. is 567/ 2002.
* There are several complaints against me in various courts in Gujarat. On March 8, 2006, the High Court of Gujarat threw away all the cases against me and asked the followers to stop harassing me.

"Swadhyay teaches that no human being is superior or inferior to any other.[4]"
(Vital Connections: Self, Society, God : Perspectives on Swadhyaya, 1998; Weatherhill, ISBN 0-8348-0408-5.)

my opinion; If all are equal, then why is it that the picture of Pandurang Shastri Athavale "dadaji" displayed next to all the gods? He's no different from me or you, why isn't my picture up there? huh?

The start

I have created this "public" blog as a way for adults, young adults, and teens to follow me as I do an investigation on a hindu religious-social movement going on in India, the US and many other countries. All of these posts and statements are honest written and are rooted from a strong suspicion (by friends, family and I) throughout the years we have been part of this organization. I will remain anonymous because I do not intend to hurt anyone through this process, but offer knowledge in a free world that's being restricted by this "parivar". Thank you.
