Beyond The Art of Living 
A gud bunch of divesre view links on the true colors and covers of the ‘guru-business’ establishments there. It’s not just the question of one particular ‘guru’ – there are plenty. These ‘holy viruses’ are to be cleansed.
you guys are really really spoiled minded. your posts proved that..its your frustration that you are saying…god cleans your mind….you guys are full of negetive energy…& u know urself that u still didn’t achieve in ur life still a looser….
Aashu, please see the video posted under recent comments by ‘meditator’. Watch it all the way through, then tell yourself truthfully how much of this has already happened to you in Art of Living (except the leaving section, since you obviously are still entranced with your “leader”). You sound exactly like the people in that video. Everyone who criticizes is “full of negative energy”.
Still they use the bogey of much orchestrated repeated ‘positive vs negative’ dead outdated phrase to win their score. They are so poor beggars. Like LKG kids they want to settle the scores. Enough of your holy pollution there. A flower there blooms, not because of your sermons and permissions.
I can’t see how the court will go through these links and not come to the conclusion that if there is any purpose of this blog — it is to reveal that side of AoL that is not even mentioned in any of AoL’s sites. This is not about trade secrets — this is about exposing a cult. There is enough evidence all over the internet — not just in this blog.
