Sarlo Protected Convicted Rapist Mohan (Michael Lyons)

Fake guru Michael Lyons (Mohan Singh) protected and shielded from public attention by Guru Ratings owner "Sarlo", former leader of Vancouver Osho centre, has been jailed for sex attacks and rape.

Sarlo who previously had refused to allow reports of Michael Lyons sex attacks to be posted on his YahooGroup GuruRatings finally had to accept the conviction and in order to limit the damage to his own reputation. Sarlo eventually was forced to allow a small mention of the rapist Mohan which he had previously denied and harassed posters on his list.

The late Tim Guest who exposed his unhappy life as a Rajneeshi child reported in his book acclaimed book "Second Life" that sannyas culture promoted the idea of sexual initiation of underage girls by visiting Osho sannyas leaders. Old sannyasins like Sarlo who was himself such a leader seek to distance themselves from the historical tragedy which they were part of. Tim Guest died of an overdose. Several critics with the sannyas community have been poisoned or died of an overdose. Bhagwan Rajneesh, Osho, himself claimed to have been poisoned. Several sannyasins have been jailed for using poison.

Sarlo while appearing critical of guru corruption appears to overlook sannyas criminals.

Sarlo's Rapist Protection Union

Swami Manu penned:

I am curious to know where you get your information.

Sannyas is not all bad. There have been some terrible abuses. We suffer still Sheela and Hugh Milne who both left the ashram and star in the new movie "Guru: Bhagwan, His Secretary, His Bodyguard" a movie by Sabine Gisiger and Beat Häner.

I understand why Sarlo would hide rapists. The whole commune was run by rapists. It was a shocking but accepted way of life. The price to be near Osho.

Sarlo knows of these abuses but do you expect him to admit his part?

Many sannyas are following the Mohan (Michael Lyons) court case. The women want him to be jailed, some men too, but some sannyas leaders want to hide the story because they could be prosecuted.

Be careful, these sannyas skeletons do not want to be forced from the closet.

Sarlo's Anti-Guru Oedipal Rage and Osho

Readers can send information in private through the moderated comments section of this blog.

We received this remembrance of Sarlo from a sannyasin known simply as "Prem":

You have to understand that Sarlo lost it in India. He lost his shirt to the local Pune mafia, got dysentery, needed psychiatric treatment and returned back to Canada a broken man. Sarlo's anti-American posturing relates to his paranoid delusions about being on a US DEA watch list for conspiring to score drugs.

Sarlo was depressed for quite some time. His partner, Amiyo, nursed him back to health and put up with his attacks and especially, as a woman, his misogyny. It was then that she excused his bad behavior as caused by delirium, which it was not. Sarlo wore Amiyo down and now, when her health, his bad she depends on him even though she was the stronger one.

When Osho died, Sarlo was again delirious. He wanted to follow Osho into death! It was a crazy time. It was when Sarlo "recovered" that he became super aggressive. He was angry at Osho, the US government, Pune, Amiyo and his mother (who is 80 now). Sarlo could not release his anger. Dynamic meditation could not do it. He could not be angry at Osho for "abandoning" him, so he became angry at sanyassins for abandoning Osho. It was then that he invented the so-called "Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" which is shocking manifestation of his destructive unconscious. Sarlo is driven to destroy all gurus and godmen as a sublimated expression of oedipal rage. Why else would he have spent so much time knocking gurus on his site and Yahoogroup?

Sarlo is not just a danger to gurus. He is a danger to everyone around him and governments. It is not because he is liberal or fair but because of a death wish. Sarlo still wishes to follow Osho unto death because in doing so he believes he will find peace from his self-contempt and hatred of others. But Sarlo will find no peace in Osho because Osho is not a man to support Sarlo's aggressiveness. Osho looks like a rebel but it is a device of compassion. Sarlo's rebelliousness is nothing but disguised hatred.

You should give up on Sarlo unless you like pathology. There is nothing you can do with him or for him.
