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.

Krishna is not the answer - Prabupadha (via the portal)

i was a cult follower of hare krishna, chanting singing and dancing to their music and believe systems. yet for 2-3 years no one could have ever convinced me that i was blinded by a cult. i submitted to religious music, chanting, food and cultural vibes to feel belonged. now i see, it was all about wanting to be belonged and accepted by some group. to feel some kind of a belonging. yet within the group there was so much animosity and spitefulness towards each other, so much group-isms within the groups. Gurus were like little gang leaders, with each got their own followings. its sad there people really looking for something yet end up in believing bullshit religious thoughts and followings. i went for the romance of indian spiritualism yet ended up finding nothing.

i am glad to see Prabupada coming thru the inter-dimensional portal and speak to us about some real shit. Krishna is not the answer, equality and oneness here is the answer. the physical here is the answer. the mind controlling maha mantra 'hare krishna hare krishna' is not the answer. chanting does nothing. instead, self forgive, become self honest, breath, be here, really, become self introspect, self write to freedom, do vlogging, get the shit out of the chest, and above all make a decision to stand as life make decision to never give into the thoughts/emotions and feelings. god is here as the physical, no need for bullshit religions and gods.

hereby i denounce hare krishna movement and the so-called the god Krishna himself. i denounce every fucking god there is in fact.
