Another story about the Singh brothers, RSSB, and the Dhillon family

Going through some fairly old email messages, I came across an July 23, 2018 ET Prime story that someone sent to me, "How the Singh brothers became victims of a realty play."


It takes a subscription to read the full story, so my correspondent sent a file that I converted to PDF. Here it is:

Like other stories about the Singh brothers and their relationship with the guru of Radha Soami Satsang Beas, Gurinder Singh Dhillon, the details are astoundingly complex. 

Here's some easy to understand excerpts from the beginning of the story.

ET Prime pieced together this triangular love-hate story between the Godhwanis, Singh brothers, and Dhillons by speaking with several insiders, going through public disclosures, and poring over numerous corporate filings. 



It is a story of a win-win association turning into a nightmare, an unending downward spiral.

...The transactions and movement of money and the multiple roles played by the individuals involved raise questions of corporate governance and conflict of interest. They show how Indian promoters continue to consider listed companies their private fiefdoms. 


They also make one wonder about the Radha Soami sect's principles, including that the master "does not accept gifts or money for himself or his family from the sangat; all the money donated in seva is channelled into supporting the sangat".

I'll repeat what I said in a blog post about a Business Today story about this same subject -- the tangled web of highly suspicious financial deals involving the RSSB guru, his family, and RSSB insiders.

If you read the Bloomberg and Business Today stories, you'll learn that whatever we might call the financial schemes the guru is deeply involved with, it's very difficult to call them honest living.

Here's an excerpt from that RSSB book.

Juan,
I think you're right. They won't easily give him up. Some will. Many won't. What will they believe in if they do give him up? Where will they go? What will they do?

"That Sai Baba case is super weird.The guy was a 3rd rate magician with an ugly hair style, and his crappy magic tricks were considered proof of his divinity. Imagine what someone like David Blaine could do in India."

This comment reminded me of a Discovery Channel show where a magician like David Blaine travels to India and other countries to research claims of supernatural powers like levitation, etc.

In this episode, he investigates Yogic Flying /levitation and finds a monk in Nepal to demonstrate (@5:40) for him. Interesting stuff

Well ...still judging using your perception, you still want Sadhguru the way you want.. than you make comparison Between Charan Sing and Gurinder Sing.. it mean your mind working very well.. Sadhguru is unpredictable if it is predictable namely a mindguru.. if i exist so sadhguru doesn't exist.
