Surveilling and Controlling the Crowd - Sarlo/Jalal's Many Disguises

Sam (Pari, the late founder of Sannyasnews.com) wrote in "Life of Osho"

"There had been a series of poisonings,
employing both rare drugs and bacteria,
not only of individuals but also of large groups of people
(though in fact no one had actually been killed); on top of
which the whole commune was bugged."


"The whole Ranch was bugged. Not just the hotel and
public telephones – the entire place was wired. Osho’s
room was bugged, so was Vivek’s. The tapping had been
done with extraordinary, one could almost say loving, care;
housewire had been removed from its outer plastic insulation
and replaced by strands of telephone wire leading to
the hidden mikes, and then the casing had been resealed;
so that even if you checked all you would see was normal
housewiring. The F.B.I. was very impressed by that. Osho
was bugged by a tiny mike hidden inside an alarm buzzer
Sheela had insisted he have."

Would you think that an electrician would have noticed the strange wiring?

Who was the electrician for the Ranch? Swami Jalal (Tim Pushman)

Swami Jalal (Tim Pushman), Sarlo's fellow sannyas buddy, censor of websites exploring Osho's death, man who spied on Osho's girlfriend just before she died suspiciously in what looked like a faked suicide six weeks before Osho "died". "Jalal" who denied OshoRebels/RajneeshRebels a listing on the Osho page of the Open Directory Project. Swami Jalal who uses a fake sannyas name "Gorakh" to run Sannyasworld.com and spread deceptions into the naive sannyas populace.

n0by, who has many times noted Sarlo's heavy-handed censorship, exposed Jalal's unconvincing smokescreen. Jalal supplied a picture but only of him wearing dark sunglasses. n0by made a screenshot of Jalal's email in which Jalal admitted being a Ranch electrician before. n0by also noted that Jalal is an IT professional because websites exploring Osho and Vivek's suspicious deaths had been hacked and burned. The email archive which would have preserved Jalal's email no longer exists (part of Sarlo's “burn all the evidence” cover up routine) but you can still find the screenshot at

Sarlo's Sannyas Mafia Internet War: Control, Delete, Ban and Hack

OshoRebels/RajneeshRebels was created in 2003 by group of sannyasins who wanted to investigate the suspicious death of Osho. Attempts to suppress the free speech of the authors were so successful that the site had to be moved and renamed several times and today no longer exists. Similar attacks were made on SannyasNews.com which crashed their site, erased information and stopped use of their forum discussion about the possible causes of Osho's death.

OshoRebels/RajneeshRebels is not to be confused with OshoRebel.com which started in 2007 with Sarlo's blessings.

Sarlo and his list mafia tried to stop all mention of OshoRebels/RajneeshRebels and refused to add their link to the Osho webring (which he controls). OshoRebels/RajneeshRebels was also denied a listing on the Osho page of the Open Directory Project by a man who works closely with Sarlo, Swami Jalal (Tim Pushman). The OPD is a project helped by volunteers. Pushman created an OPD editor position from where he could effectively censor Osho sites which he did not like or give a bad review. He cunningly gave top position and the most review words to his own site, Sannyasworld.com, which he published under the pseudonym "Gorakh" and has never admitted to owning.

Hiding behind one sannyas name is enough but for some reason Pushman needed to invent a second name to do his dirty work amongst the naive sannyas population. Ironically it was not the authorized name given to him by his supposed master, Osho.

Tim Pushman supported Sarlo with Sarlo's defunct YahooGroup 'sannyas-list' which Sarlo closed down when questions about his real agenda became too personal. Sarlo made sure that no archive was left but he could not remove emails from people's accounts.

Pushman was very aware, too aware of OshoRebels, when he revealed in 2007 in a list post supporting OshoRebels.com:

"the earlier 'oshorebels' , and before that, 'rajneeshrebels' (and even
earlier 'socrates truth') were all very negative and appeared to be run out
of Nepal. It's good to see that the new site is starting off on a different tack."

One of the OshoRebels/RajneeshRebels sites banned by Sarlo and Jalal Pushman was hosted at
http://free.hostdepartment.com/r/rajneeshrebels

Fortunately we have a legacy of emails and pages from OshoRebels/RajneeshRebels. Sarlo's and Jalal Pushman's attacks on the investigation into Osho's death took them out of the shadows and into the spotlight.

The Sannyas Mafia Decree: Not Even Osho Is Free

It is a commonly held belief that Osho exercised such magnetic control over his followers that they could only carry out his wishes and not their own. This view is not only naive but untrue.

Osho was a prisoner inside his own ashram and lived in seclusion. Contact with Osho was limited to one person, Sheela, who was accused of poisoning and murder plots. Osho's room, as were all ashram facilities, bugged. Sheela did not have the ability by herself to execute all of the crimes of which she is accused.

Pari writing as Sam in "Life of Osho" describes a plot which would require a dedicated team of electricians.

"The whole Ranch was bugged. Not just the hotel and
public telephones – the entire place was wired. Osho’s
room was bugged, so was Vivek’s. The tapping had been
done with extraordinary, one could almost say loving, care;
housewire had been removed from its outer plastic insulation
and replaced by strands of telephone wire leading to
the hidden mikes, and then the casing had been resealed;
so that even if you checked all you would see was normal
housewiring. The F.B.I. was very impressed by that. Osho
was bugged by a tiny mike hidden inside an alarm buzzer
Sheela had insisted he have."

Where are those electricians today? "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" has tracked one down. This former ashram electrician happens to work closely with Sarlo. This is no coincidence.

Pari was an editor of Sannyasnews.com, a site dedicated to exploring sannyas issues without censorship or fear. Sannyasnews was frequently attacked by hackers. Who would have something to fear from a few old sannyasins discussing what might have been the cause of Osho's death?

"The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" will reveal all in future articles.

Sarlo Bans Guru Rating Forum Members After Sarlo Expose Blog Mentioned

Following our post which gave an example of Sarlo clearly grooming a member of his Guru Rating Forum, Sarlo banned the member, Anna Ruiz "anabebe57". Her supposed offense? Mentioning our blog "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service".

Sarlo had previously thanked Anna for defending him on another list. This was seemingly odd behavior from Anna as Sarlo had been cruel and mocking of her. Naturally Anna wanted to be accepted by the list members but Sarlo would not allow it unless she fulfilled some hidden expectations by Sarlo. After we started to expose Sarlo he then deleted all emails between he and Anna from the Guru Rating archive. Fortunately, we have copies.

Today no-one can be sure what really happened with Anna. Sarlo gives his own twisted account (after deleting all the relevant posts) and will never let her come back unless she says exactly want he wants her to say.

This manipulative behavior has led one German ex-sannyasin, Erhard Thomas, to compare Sarlo to a Nazi camp leader because this underhand manipulation and banning happened to Erhard and countless others. This all begs the question "where did Sarlo develop such manipulative skills?"

Sarlo learned to manipulate people at Osho's ashram. This blog continue to give the facts and motives about the hidden face behind the internet’s Osho sannyas lists and Sarlo’s Guru Ratings Service. You will notice that we have now published one photograph of Sarlo in our sidebar.

Sannyas without Borders or Morality

Osho created a climate which virtually guaranteed his own people would kill him. He taught his neo-sannyasins to subvert India's strict Hindu culture of morality. His sannyas took the name and clothing of ascetics but lived as hedonists. Imagine how offensive it is for deeply religious people to see monks and nuns walking down the street with no underwear and kissing - this is the offense that sannyas knowingly caused in India.

Osho did not want his sannyas to be hypocrites, to not hide or suppress their feelings but to let it all out. Osho could not contain the tsunami of pent up rage, jealousy and hate which flowed from some sannyasins, and in the end it killed him.

To quote Christopher Calder who first met Acharya Rajneesh (Osho) in his Bombay apartment in December of 1970:

"Rajneesh felt that teaching ethics was unnecessary because meditation would automatically lead to good behavior. The actions of Rajneesh and his disciples proves that theory to be completely false. Rajneesh taught that you should do as you please because life is both a dream and a joke. This attitude led to the classically fascist belief that one can become so high and mighty that one is beyond the need for old fashioned values and ethical behavior."

Calder is attacked by a mob of sannyasins on every sannyas forum which he posts including Sarlo's manipulated lists.

The Guru Trap: Bait, Poison and Switch

Osho said he took spirituality to the market place. The market is such a great place, so Osho's sannyasins armed themselves with AK47's. Not for every sannyasins was spirituality the answer nor the goal. Sex, power and money have always been an allure for sannyasins and these adventures could be heavily subsidized by criminal activities such as drug smuggling and prostitution. Old "Gasbag" Bhagwan's (as Sheela called him) promises of nirvana in the faraway future could be indefinitely postponed.

The rank and file neo-sannyasins provided a readily available cash cow to provide funds and free labor for different ventures including wire-tapping their own population. The international sannyas network could be organized to arrange "parties" through which the drug Ecstasy could be channeled into Europe and USA. After Osho died the sannyas drug dealers had the power and motive to keep the Osho party going.

Swami Anand Veeresh (Danny Yuson-Sanchez), who allegedly kicked a heavy drug habit, created his own sannyas fiefdom under the Osho trademark in the Netherlands, Humaniversity, (Egmond aan Zee) with a franchise in the UK, Osho Leela. Veeresh claiming to offer addiction and sex therapy training actually runs exhausting encouter groups in which "clients" are subjected to sleep deprivation, encouraged to get drunk (Beck beer breaks), fast on soup and strongly pressured to change sex partners several times a day. "Clients" are also expected to act as "prostitutes and punters" but the role-play is for real involving actual sex and cash payment. Clients meet Yuson-Sanchez Veeresh daily for Veersh's drunken discourse known as "Veeresh's Sherry Hour". Claims that Veeresh overcame his addiction issues are doubtful since Veeresh is an alcoholic. Even when Osho was alive Veeresh would urinate in in the corridor of Osho's house. Veersh advocates that his "clients" forget about nrivana and enlightenment, Osho' main product, and get therapy Danny Yuson-Sanchez style!

Sarlo's Guru Ratings site has nothing much to say about guru usurper, Swami Anand Veeresh, hiding him away in his Miscellaneous (not fitting elsewhere)" section and disingenuously describing him as a "therapist" (perhaps "the rapist"?). In an additional Osho section Sarlo praises Veeresh as one of several sannyasins who are "in their presentation, style and form most faithful to Osho". None of which is true, but then truth is not Sarlo's strong point, which is why we publish "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" and Sarlo why wants it removed.

Osho did not support "therapists" getting their own fames and spoke angrily against them. Sarlo also criticizes ex-sannyas therapists such as Swami Ananda Teertha (Paul Lowe), Swami Anand Somendra Michael Barnett, Swami Anand Santoshaka (Jeru Kabbal) and Swami Anand Rajen (Allen Lowen). In time Veeresh too would have raised Osho's anger except Osho died (or was murdered).

Osho, whilst rich in name, had little interest in money and possessions but others wanted his name, fame and power and conspired to get it. Exploring the treacherous group from which Sarlo thrived and prospered will help make transparent Sarlo's internet ambitions.

Sarlo Deletes "The Truth About Sarlo" Posts From Guru Ratings

In the previous post we introduced Jody Radzik who was groomed by Sarlo in the info war against all gurus except Osho. Radzik is the author of the Guruphiliac blog and knows how to get a blog banned.

In this post we reveal that Sarlo knew about our blog and removed all traces of posts about from his Yahoogroup.

Sarlo knew about our blog after a Guru Rating Forum list member, Anna Ruiz "anabebe57", copied the first post of "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" from another list of which she is also a member run by an ex-sannyasin, n0by (Erhard Thomas). "n0by" has been banned from Sarlo's various YahooGroups and Sarlo will immediately ban anyone who posts n0by's words, links or list posts. Anna Ruiz "anabebe57" has also been roughly treated by the misogynistic Sarlo and banned from posting many times. Perversely, Anna attempts to stop the discussion about Sarlo and then seeks his approval on his list. Sarlo obliges by praising and grooming her in how to defend him, even editing her original words and sentiments. It’s classic Sarlo at his most manipulative playing the power game learned in sannyas encounter groups. Anna's behavior is reminiscent of the "Stockholm Syndrome" where a kidnapee falls in love with her captors. Sarlo comes across as hypocritical and slimy to fellow list readers who know the unremitting abuse he has previously meted out to Anna.

Can you find these posts on Sarlo's Guru Rating Forum list? No. Sarlo deleted not only his own posts but also anabebe57's without notifying her or the list! Ironically, Sarlo never deletes libelous post against any person on his list (except Osho!) but he immediately deletes any posts about himself. Similarly, Sarlo has moderated posts critical of Osho sannyasins. One scandalous case is Sarlo's suppression of repeated attempts to alert his list about a compulsive rapist and Osho follower for several decades, Mohan Singh (Michael Lyons), who is being sentenced at this moment for a series of rapes against different women. Jody Radzik eventually covered the story but claimed that Michael Lyons was a Tibetan lama (which he also claimed to be, as well as a “health guru”).

Fortunately we have copies of of the Sarlo's posts which Sarlo tried to suppress which leads us to the conclusion that Sarlo and Radzik had the motivation, ability and history of suppressing "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service".

Copy and paste these pages around the internet in case Sarlo employs more dirty tricks to suppress the truth from coming out.

Pasted below are copies of the posts which Sarlo deleted including his own successful attempt at grooming Anna Ruiz.

Re: The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service

O my, I am a member of Sarlo's Gururatings forum for the past 4 plus years.

Though he and I have shared some battles over my posting habits,
and we have battled on our equal and opposing views on male vs.
female (no more no less than any other *relationship*), I am
loathe to find any pernicious traits as you have outlined here.

Nor am I am privy to the past, what anyone lived through (or didn't)
at Osho's center. Neither have I ever followed any guru, or lived
in close community.

Fame is fickle. Being a leader, spiritual and/or political, or
star-in-the-limelight is replete with a feeding frenzy, be it from the leader
him/herself, their followers or the media.

I ask one question: why resurrect any of this?

For what purpose?

Thanks for your -- in that forum fairly futile --
vote of confidence.

FWIW, "loathe" is a verb, in the ballpark of hate and fear.
"Loath," the adj form, means hesitant, wary, careful,
fearful, etc, may not be the word you intended.

Ah, so much BS, so little time . . .
And who is "Teal Ramonette"?
And who cares?

Hey Annaji, your "sticking up for me" in that hostile zone
is not unappreciated, but there's no need to forward it here.
The toxicity of some of these guys -- and this kind of thing
is EXACTLY why i don't have my full legal name out there,
they publish your address and phone #, forget it! --
is unwelcome, even with your positive note.

Thanks, Sarlo

My purpose in posting this can be filed under *awareness*.

And I won't let anyone be maligned unless I do the maligning.

lol.

Mine too!

>p.s. Loathe: "unwilling to do something contrary to one's thinking";
>Merriam-Webster on line search.

Seems you are right, though this usage is not given
in the M-W entry for "loathe," only as a variant
on the "loath" page.

So, somewhat obscure but es tut mir leid.
("Leid" apparently being an antecedent of "loathesome,"
though in the above expression it is tamed way down,
meaning simply "i'm sorry.")

Did Jody Radzik Try to Ban "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service"?

Only a few people knew about "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" but few would be motivated to get it banned.

The two most likely suspects are Sarlo (who has most to lose) and Jody Radzik, a protege of Sarlo and author of a selective guru blog, guruphiliac.blogspot.com.

The connection between Radzik and Sarlo has been amply documented elsewhere. Just like Sarlo, Radzik refuses to criticize Osho - ostensibly because Osho is dead. However, the sannyas mafia cartels continue to thrive and profit even more so after Osho’s suspicious death in the groups where poison was the ashram weapon of control. Guru blog owner Radzik repeatedly failed to disclose his allegiances to several gurus (not Osho) until a blog fully exposed him in 2006. Radzik however, continues to be evasive about his real motives.

Information about "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" was posted to Jody Radzik's Guruphiliac blog but it never appeared because Radzik deleted it. Clearly, Radzik is suppressing the story. This contrasts sharply with Radzik's posting about the cult-of-the-hugging-saint-exposed.blogspot.com which mentions Radzik's name but not Sarlo.

Jody Radzik is so paranoid about free and uncensored discussion that he puts every new comment under moderation. Whilst Radzik copies, pastes and interprets huge amounts of unsubstantiated rumors against several gurus, and their followers, he posts nothing about Osho neo-sannyasins. Evidently, Radzik, like his mentor Sarlo, is involved in info wars for undeclared reasons. The motives seem sectarian but, as we shall discover in the case of Sarlo, are much more sinister.

Could Radzik been the anonymous complainant? As an avid blogspot user he certainly knows about the blogger complaints procedure. This would not have been the first time that Radzik has supported Sarlo even though Sarlo temporarily suspended Radzik from Sarlo's Guru Ratings Forum Yahoo Group (to save face in yet another Sarlo inspired misogynistic mob attack this time against a women called Rasa von Werder). Radzik figures that if Sarlo goes down then he could follow. When this blog is complete, with your help, Swami Deva Sarlo will have been fully exposed.

In the next post we will investigate Sarlo's awareness of our blog its 24 hours of life and find out if he issued the complaint to stop you knowing "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service".

Failed Attempt To Ban Sarlo Truth Blog

Less than 24 hours after this blog published its first damning accusations against Swami Deva Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service an attempt was made to suppress your right to know the truth.

Someone anonymously complained to blogspot.com without first having the courtesy to contact us. Blogger put our blog under review for the unfeasible complaint of spamming. This mildly frustrated our readers from accessing our blog by landing them on a warning page. Of course, Blogger determined that "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" is not in violation of their terms and services.

This inconvenience only lasted for a few days but it did delay the inclusion of "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" on Google's search results. Appreciative readers can help others find our blog by linking to "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" and posting our content on blogs, forums and newsgroups.

Sarlo will no longer be able to stop the truth about him from being published.
