Bikram Yoga founder not so spiritual after all

Bikram Yoga founder Bikram Choudhury has been accused of some less than enlightening antics, including rape, sexual harassment, and racism.

The claims come from an ex-employee and two former students. According to the Jezebel news site, the cultish guru has a charming turn of phrase, waxing poetic about his penis, women’s bodies, and marriage.

One of his students, Sydney Towne, kept a diary of Bikram’s antics when she trained with him full-time for three months last year.

He apparently dislikes so many types of people that “a list seemed like the only way to keep track of it all,” she said.

The reason she did not walk was because she loved Bikram Yoga but hated the way Bikram himself completely took advantage of people.

“He preys on people, and there’s such a cult of personality around him that people don’t question his clearly inappropriate behaviour,” she said.

Bikram talks a lot about his ability to avoid eating and sleeping and claims that sleeping is a “number one crime.”

He always has three young women around him during training sessions to serve him tea, make him snacks, fluff his blankets, and rub his legs for hours.

For the record, Towne gave some brilliant Bikram quotes:

“My name is Bikram. I’m always victorious.”

“I’ll inject your brain.”

“You can’t wait to be abused by bitch teacher.” (Talking about why people come to Bikram Yoga.)

“Get your fat ass here every day. Do you want to die?” (Talking about what to tell new students.)

“Even from the side, you look so sexy.” (Directed at a woman walking across the ballroom where he gives lectures in front of 400+ people during the first week of training.)

On testicles: “You never see two balls in one line.”

On penises: “You think big body equals big dick?”

How to make a marriage last: “Women become the best babysitter in the world. Men become German Shepard, Doberman.”

More sage marriage advice: “Love your bitch wife every moment.”

“60 per cent of men that do Bikram come to the yoga for erectile dysfunction,” according to Bikram.

Bikram does not like Mormons, Christians, dog owners, women who are “Chubbies”, too skinny, or small-breasted, without make-up, with short hair, or with long hair but worn up.

He also is suspect people who live in cold climates and tattooed people. Chinese speakers, “Skanky” American men and the colour green!

Living God has internet meltdown

A video of unemployed carpet cleaner E A [Living God] Koetting is circulating on the worldwide wibble in which he seems rather “tired and emotional.” The video, which has found its way into the paws of Watcher of the Dawn, appears to have been released after some of his minions dared to question his divinity. Koetting is shutting down an online group to stop them from debating if he was the Living God he claimed. As can be seen, he releases a stream of invective, claiming that he was the all-powerful one, but mere mortals were ruining his Divine Plan. He demanded his followers should “bow down before me" or they “simply will not exist.” Koetting said: “There is only one mother fucker alive who can do what I can do, and you refuse to recognise that because you have got this ego.” He denies that he is speaking out of ego but because “he is cursed”. He is the only “motherfucker” who can see past the pettiness and hurt because people are not getting his ideas. Koetti...

Who are the Watchers of the Dawn?

We keep getting requests asking who we are and what our intentions are. This blog started after a “tired and emotional” conversation after a particularly successful party in Oxford. Some of us had been on the British Occult scene for the last three decades and knew lots of stories about people getting shafted by their occult leaders. Part of the reason they have been able to get away with it is that there is a conspiracy of silence which exists between some of these leaders and their victims. It is not considered “done” for such antics to be made public, but there was no good watchdog for the occult scene. Politicians are forced by the press to keep their noses more or less clean, but there is no press for the magical setting. If you look at online magazines, they all report teaching or advertising a group leader’s meetings or books. There is extraordinarily little wider questioning of their dodgier moves. As a result, they keep repeating the same actions and damaging the sa...

Jean-Pascal Ruggiu quits the Golden Dawn because of the Jews

Once a key player in the Golden Dawn wars, Jean Pascal Ruggiu has announced that he finds Golden Dawn syncretism dodgy and particularly does not like the Jewish approach. The former National Front political candidate was once the "Imperator" of the Ahathoor Temple of the Golden Dawn in Paris. Closely aligned to David Griffin, examples of Ahathoor rituals can be found on YouTube . When it had been known that Ruggiu had quit Griffin’s order, there were rumours put about by a Griffin supporter, Robert Word, that Pascal was dead, Ruggiu appeared back on Facebook as chatty as ever. Last week, he said that he wanted to tell Facebook that while he had been known as Ahathoor ex-Imperator for a while, he no longer followed the GD tradition. “I consider this syncretism between Judeo-Christian traditions and Egyptian neo-paganism is totally incompatible. Syncretism can only bring about conflicts in terms of egregors between two religions which were staunch enemies,” Ruggiu said. He bel...
