Just for context
a survivor account from an "ashram" is below, translation courtesy of google translate so not the easiest thing to read, but it is important and I would recommend it for this reason.
It is also important to remember that the initial workshops leave people feeling elated and excited and that the aim of all the workshops is to lure victims into giving up all their possessions and abandoning their famines to live on an ashram.
These people are extremely dangerous. If people give up everything to go and live on an ashram they disappear and are effectively lost, beyond the reach of law enforcement and loved ones. It is a very, very serious situation.
Anyway, here is the survivor account of life at an ashram.......................................
Hello.
Very hard to write about it and remember, but still necessary.
At one time I myself was involved in this sect. But the ensuing epiphany me to stop. I want to tell stories about one witness, whom I involuntarily began.
This happened in the "ashram" in autumn 1999 in Perm.
Was among the young sadhaks kind, responsive, obedient boy named Vitali. To form his 20 years-ty, not tall, skinny (even skinny), black short cropped hair is straight, the chin large black mole with hairs. He studied at the School of Medical Sciences in Kiev in the fourth year in March 1999. After another seminar conducted by "School of Shambhala" in Ukraine, he was taken in the "ashram" in Samara (then moved to Perm). In Russia, it has brought the younger "mentor" Katherine.
In the first few months, staying in the ashram, "he praised the Padma (Helen) and strongly encouraged it (pieces from your table), about him always spoke well Soma (Alexander), he had interesting lectures. We were all confident that Vitali will soon go on workshops with mentors.
But soon Vitali began to occur very strange things. He slowly began to "melt" to lose weight (although it was so lean) - looked like a walking skeleton. He was forced to write a letter home that "mentors" have corrected that, everything is smooth. And after a while Vitali is something wrong with his head. Namely, he slowly began to move, his legs began to totter. He began to ramble, and sat with a missing eye or with eyes rolled upward. Becoming completely cut off and no matter what did not react.
This is what we have said many times "mentor", but they are limited to only talking to him and reinforced his podkarmlivaniyami delicious slices. Perhaps, in the hope that his body recover. Although it would be better to send Vitali in another place, or even - to home (like we did with some sadhaks, who also got into such a state, for example. Aleksey). But Vitaly held until recently. Neither the Padma or Manitou or Arjuna, he was there at this time, no one had emergency measures in time, but only after trying to siphon off nearly lifeless body of his. And we sadhaks, were powerless to help him in this situation, though trying, cheering him as he talked with him. We tried to help him, but relied on the "mentors" to "teacher" in their "power" and "knowledge".
But as time went on, and Vitaly became worse and worse. He has not paid any attention to us, and deeper and deeper went somewhere in his world . And then one day during a "dynamic meditation" (dance) Vitali again with the efforts began to dance with us (if you can call it a dance intoxicated by the motion, when it became a place), and passed out again.
We called mentors, they said nothing wrong and did not even come to him, saying that he would get up and we were told not to touch it. Meditation has long ended, and Vitaly all lying, neither alive nor dead. We insisted that measures were taken because he looked like a corpse, but still alive and. It was just awful to even look. Vitali's body lay in an unnatural position for him: with twisted arms and legs - so the person in mind it would be very painful. Its claimed to her mentors (as walking, he could not) and something was done in one day. In this present Constantine (Dharma).
More Vitaly we have not seen. Only accidentally stumbled on his clothes. Judging by her he was stripped completely. What happened to him we do not know. It is unlikely that he could in such a mental state from Perm to get to Ukraine. Maybe he's still alive.
All that happened with this guy "mentor" called "the inevitable transformation" and "necessary" cleansing ". Our confidence in the "school of Shambhala" deteriorated dramatically after such an attitude toward man. After all, his place could be any of us, and not wait for help coming from. "Mentors" are indifferent to the fate and condition of sadhaks. They only care about money and the glitter of "school". Few people know what's going on in their sect. And those who know they want to forget it as quickly as possible.
Probably for this reason they have not told family Vitaly about his fate. They hope that this case be forgotten. After all, the country lost thousands of people every day.
I'd like to believe that he's all right. But there is no assurance that his parents somehow found out about this incident.
Maybe someone from their Vitali, friends or classmates will read this letter. According to describe this place in Perm, where then was "ashram" (now with great confidence we can assume that in this place "ashram" is not):
The city of Perm, in a country house near the forest in the area of semiconductors. The house owners have not lived, and beckons him shot for the "ashram". Close to the railway, river away. Exit the house rests directly in the forest left of the door passing surfaced road, opposite the gate through a dirt road tavern, dug a short, old and rickety. One-story wooden house, the old has a garden, where the hosts harvest in autumn, and we were hiding from them inside the house.
It seems to be a double house and lived behind a wall, some grandmother. She came Padme complained of the noise and the tramp, what happens with us during dynamic meditation, which is why we then completely banned the dance, "that would not attract public attention."
There was a log cabin bath house apart from there you can get through the passage into the courtyard, near the bath tub white city with water on the street, red dog by nature a good mongrel dog.
In this case, were the following sadhaks from Ukraine: Andrew (age 17, a computer he was well acquainted), Alex (age 17, Sochi) - is similar to Narada Muni (an orphan living with his grandmother) and Dimitri (20 years, Ukraine) - a powerful tall guy, a businessman, he once danced with the Ukrainian seminar in a black kimono and hit the "ashram" in autumn 1999, one. Valentin (20 years), that too with Ukraine to give up, he is wild. Its up to Vitali, violent somewhere forcibly taken. He is not tall, Kripen'ka, blond, light-eyed). It also happened in the city of Perm, but in another house which was the "ashram" to the case with Vitali. Written about him sadhak Sergey on your site. Valentin, Alex, Andrew - hit the "ashram" immediately after the Sochi workshop in late summer 1999. Of those who were present at the incident are now in a "school" to "mentor" go to: Hleb and Dharma (Constantine).
You know us, to sadhaka belonged in the ashram as a cattle free a slave. force, and it is not surprising that the roof slid many. What's going on there - a shame for the people! In prison, and it is better to refer to the prisoners, than here in the ashram. " The purpose of the "Ashram" is not perfect, and doing of the people obedient robots that are easy to manage (covering it, so that "you are the conductors of divine power"). What a divine power? If people of this force with his head badly to become. Simply erased from the human personality and make a rag, wipe his feet on that first "junior teachers," and then "elders" that they want something and do, covering it will "divine power", "cleansing of Karma."
Much can tell about the horror and ugliness that went on in this "school".
We have no confidence in him and to those who are with them. Look, in this "school" all complicit in the money and power. There zombiruyutsya people that would make it easier to remove from their chips (both monetary and human).
