>Aftermaths of my Isha Ashram blog post

>Some thoughts and aftermaths of my blog post about the really harrowing time I had at Isha Yoga Center.

- A day after my blog post, I got a call from Swami Suyagna (the HR monk). This was a surprise! Until now I have gotten absolutely NO communications from their side, despite the fact that I have told many prominent monks that I was very disturbed by their organization. Most told me to forget about it or they insulted me.
(Should we call this power of blogging?)

- The conversation was a disappointment, cause he tried to justify whatever he had done with ‘procedure’ except that this ‘procedure’ was not implemented for any other volunteers from cities.
(The only bright side was that I was now able to tell him how nonsensical what he was saying sounded! :p)

- It has also made me think about all the other people with whom I know such stuff has happened in this organization. If they did go public with their experiences maybe the admin would pay more attention (albeit for the wrong reasons), and there may not be another person who is so utterly neglected!

    >Just imagine, a blog post helped to make them call you, so getting it published will teach them a "very" good lesson :) Also, in future, take this incident as a learning experience.. and be careful next time while judging the people :) Cheers,Deep

    >Ya these are the learning experiences one can do without, but as one of my friend @dianabhathena says if we get through them then we become stronger.

    >I can only share my experience with you, which I have done through my blog post. You see what you want to do. As i had mentioned it depends on how the admin there see you, if they are OK with you then its a good place to be. If they don't support you then it can become a nightmare.What the admin or any bhramachari says very often has nothing to do with Sadhguru.

    >arunnano – you read Priyanka Dalal's experience and you are a "little skeptical?" You are best to just forget about it completely. They are criminals. SJV was accused of murdering his wife Viji in 1997, but he says she did mahasamadhi. No proof of that at all.

    >Prianka you write "I know such stuff has happened in this organization. If they did go public with their experiences maybe the admin would pay more attention.."I think that people should go public so that this utterly corrupt organization goes under and this cult leader gets investigated thoroughly. Many, many families have been broken apart by the machinations of this man. Your blog post should serve as a warning, not to the administration, but to those contemplating joining the cult to STEER CLEAR OF IT.
