Why western white men become Hindu Gurus?

since the advent of the Hare Krishna Movement, we have seen a load of 'white' gurus in india. back in the 70s, it was part of the hippie movement that drifted towards enlightenment and spiritual seeking, going after the exotic, romantic teachings of the east. it was a very cleaver move by then founder of the hare krishna movement to use white boys to attract local indians into his movement. he called them 'dancing white elephants'. as these white boys in saroon robes looking like monks rolled into the streets of india, many local found it fascinating.

"wow, after all now the white people are taking interest in our hindu religion", which is sentiment shared by many indians, it was a boost to their religious egos. throughout the 70s, 80s, we saw such white dancing elephants, or swamis, or white gurus becoming prominent in the hare krishna society. this trend and style has spread into other sects of hindusim, tibet too.

what are these white men looking in india ? what thrill do you get by wearing an Indian guru robe ? adopting indian names, where Mr. John Smith suddenly becomes Swami ParamaAnanada Das. In the meantime, these white gurus never get the same treatment like the indian gurus, hahaha, there is a subtle competition too.

even among the gurus there are competitions.

white boys, stop wasting yourself, stop romantic spiritualism from the far east, when all you need is right here. in the past going to hare krishna gatherings, i have seen many white people sing, dance, and wear sarees, wear the indian guru dress, all to appear like spiritual indians. all in that, self depreciating, self insulting, and self neglecting.

i should add, over the years, as time went by, many of those white gurus, fell out of  the movements. some after 20 or 30 of been a guru, gave it up, some lost it for women, some lost it for money, but most of them simply got fed up. they were never accepted. who wants a self depreciating, self pitiful guru. and of course the shallowness of all such things gave in.

i have news for you, white dancing fucking idiots, investigate self-forgiveness, self honestly, self-care, equal money system, equal labor system, equality for all. in this, you investigate who you are, stand up as who you are.

stop being a fucking white guru, you are a joke in india, instead be LIFE, be the real deal, be a voice for whole of humanity, stand up and speak for the whole of humanity. make a real difference, JOIN desteni.

fuck off the hindu Guruship, it will never be real for you.

Be yourself with desteni.
