My personal experience with Mahajyra and Maha Vajra its founder is that their made up form of Buddhism has been a very painful grueling and bad experience for me. Many people I know have developed problems in the group because it is full of lies and contradictions and are basically told to push off. Maha Vajra originally comes from Canada. Canada has very small Buddhist community pockets and nobody remembers ordaining Maha Vajra; birth name Francio Leppin into Pure Land Buddhism? He hones in on weaknesses that appear in you when he initially meets you. Then he exploits what he sees as your problems and uses these to make you dependent on him. To which you give donations and hours of time trying to sort out your problem that he has affixed you to. Blown out of proportion insignificant series of problems that produces other problems making you neurotic. This requires you being helped by one of his masters or himself which adds up in monetary donations and time taken up focusing neurotically on the perceived problem; now problems that were at one time one problem and insignificant. Also please note this man and the majority of his management have no qualifications in psychology or counseling so when a person goes off the deep end they are on their own.

The Mahajyra is an absolute judgement factory. If there is nothing wrong with you they will make it so, so they can judge you and dominate. I have personally watched his organization membership to be a revolving door. Once people realize Mahajyra and Maha's manipulations and behavior they leave in a hurry. This is what happened to me when I realized that something was not right and I left while I still had some personal empowerment and direction left. Nevertheless there is the ever flowing stream of newbies that come for help who end up needing REAL HELP from credible counselors after Maha Vajra and Mahajyra masters have their way with them. Maha Vajra has tried to use noted scientists to back up his scientific theories only to have these people walk away from him when they realized what he is about. In my experience he and his group enjoy watching a person squirm; a far reality from genuine supportive Buddhist traditions. Mahajyra masters become empowered by you becoming helpless. That is the awful truth.

The majority of Mahajyra masters are not registered healthcare workers. Mahajyra walks a very fine line from being prosecuted for endangerment lawsuits. It took me ages to sort myself out and get away from the Mahajyra because Mahajyra and Maha Vajra condition you to be dependent on them. I basically began to feel bad all the time after making contact with Mahajyra. I felt worse than before after I met up with the Mahajyra group. I had no problems until I began to mix with them. The group members are taught to thrive on problems and fixing them with no end ever in sight. Mahajyra are a neurotic group of people by design of Maha Vajra and the income he receives from helping to fix them which never ends. It's a terrible scam.

Maha Vajra hands on personal details onto law enforcement and works closely with the police. If you have anything personal don't tell Mahajyra managers who will forward your information on to Maha Vajra who will then forward it onto whomever he has in mind. There were controversial magic books once offered for sale on a Maha Vajra-Mahajyra website. Manipulation for personal gain is Mahajyra and Maha Vajra's main aim although he and his management deny it. Mahajyra's presentation propagates spiritual mastery that is a far cry from what really is taught in Mahajyra or Maha Vajra. I always felt my strings being pulled by Maha Vajra and Mahajyra.

Mahajyra and Maha Vajra used to have closed boot camp seminars which taught controversial techniques yet now because of dubious rumors circulating Mahajyra has tried to soften Maha Vajra, Mahajyra appearance to the public with little success. There are so many of his main management people with life threatening illnesses that it creates a question mark as to what is really happening in the Mahajyra Buddhist group? I felt so done in after Maha Vajra Mahajyra boot camps that I stopped going. Mahajyra group's format looks and feels blatantly dishonest with a web appearance strikingly manipulative.

Mahajyra, Maha Vajra and his followers hunt the internet looking for controversial things about themselves and removing them. The majority of bad web posts put up are taken down within days usually. The web posts are exposures questioning Maha Vajra's credentials, and supposed experience as a spiritual master? Site internet moderators have made comments observing that Maha Vajra did not seem to have any credible spiritual or professional qualifications at all in the subject areas he was discussing in internet forums; yet was propagating a Buddhist group whose location and name had changed several times!

I don't understand how people believe Maha Vajra and Mahajyra is spiritual or a real Buddhist group? My experience with him is that he is very corrupt and crooked. He helps people out with various low cost, no cost programs but his charity is tainted by his his gross actions that show somebody that needs to feed off the good intentions of others and give out painful restrictions in return by offering seminars and programs which create outright confusion and mental distress. His seminar are downright dangerous. People generally walk away from Mahajyra totally mixed up and abandoned by the group they were involved with. They don't want to know you if you leave because they fear you will say something about them.

If you would like to study Buddhism do it with a credible time tested tradition. Not a spiritual group with a bad reputation that has appeared out of thin air. In my experience Mahajyra members are reckless, delusional, bewitched, aggressive, hypnotized. Maha Vajra is violent and aggressive having a lot of rage. This also includes the higher ups in his Mahajyra organization. They call it tough love. I call it a management team with spite that demands a given behavior from Mahajyra members or they get the rage shaft. Maha Vajra the founder of Mahajyra propagates this violence that grooms members through a pseudo martial arts program offered through Mahajyra.

My advice is to stay clear of Mahajyra and Maha Vajra or any of the programs they develop as these programs are not legitimate spiritual programs and you will be wasting hours of your time and money and only getting mental and emotional disturbances that will harm you.

this maha vajra guy is totally fake. I know he has been preying on poor mexicans. Recently a whole slew of them came to my country because he paid for their transportation and the youngsters associated with the maha vajra group were swearing obscenities at every passerbyers calling them pigs in spanish. Two of the masters from his group were in a nespreso shop swearing in spanish at a patron who used to be a member of their group. I think the person had a bad experience with him. I know this maha vajra only preys on stupid uneducated persons because they are the only people who believe his lies. He pampers poor uneducated people mostly so they defend him but in a malicious manner. There have been business scandals associated with him and people are definately looking for him. I think the term used is maha vajra practices black magic on people manipulating them and harming his enemies all done through his ignorant followers. All of the commenters on this forum are twisted and controlled by maha vajras slight of hand. I have never seen a group so full of spite, hate and rage directed at any one who disagrees with him. maha vajra is a conniving manipulative liar and so are his followers that do his dirty work for him. Not one the masters archyas in his group are masters because they have never experienced spiritual mastery. No one in his group knows spiritual things only hocus pocus mind control magic.

Mahajrya is fake and they practice superstitions. Maha vajra is not qualified. If he is a qualified teacher then why doesn't he embrace his So-called Pure-land teachings that he claims to have gotten ordained in.

I am GuruGam and I've been studying with Maha Vajra for over 7 years now,
I start my studies in Mahajrya while I just lost my conjoint, Maha Vajra
helped me in many ways even though I had no more desire to live and pass through
cancer I've been able to help many other people facing challenges in their own life
while staying focus and developing virtues.

I do understand you lived a difficult experience base on your own perception
or conception of what you were expecting from a Buddhism study group.

There is no coming to consciousness without pain.
People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul.
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

Facing our own denials & Arrogance and understand their origin
Being Responsible and conscious of our own
Developing virtues

These are basic Maha Vajra's teaching

The majority of his management have no qualifications in psychology or counseling,
but some do have Master in psychology in many different area, from crisis management,
to social worker and found an helpful approach to help around them.

Life is the best teacher,
we are all evolving through our own experiences
Good or Bad it's only our perception of reality

Hi
I would like to tell you about my experiences about Mahajrya and Maha Vajra.
I have to studying in the Mahajrya tradition for 6 years ago, I studied in the past with different master in the taoism or budhist way, i grew a lot, but when i met with Maha vajra for the first time, i felt that my suffering for 15 minutes disappeared i was in blessing it was happened because Maha Vajra did an exercices in me ( For me it was a miracle).
Ialways have felt freedom, im free in my mind, in my thoughts, in my path of life, Study with Maha Vajra its a free choise, because my personal grow is better than in the past, because im a best person, because my family is more happy now because im in virtue, because in the past i lived in the hell for my hatred, and now there is more love and peace.
im an entitled therapist and currently im more efficient with my customer, and im teacher Mahajrya too and i have good results with my students, they to learn to manage their suffering and to live in virtue.
In the past, i had economical problem and Maha in different occasions invited me to the Boot camps,
Maha Vajra for me isthe most compassive and wise person that i had to meet before.
im in grattitude to him .

I know MahaVajra. I know him because we have worked together on projects. I've given the man hugs and handshakes. We've spoken at length on a wide variety of topics. And I find this complaint incredible.

As one of the "master" level people of the Mahajrya (having received the title of Acharya), I have sat on the administrative council, and I am not a member of that council any longer. And even after the fact, I don't have a lot negative to say about the organization that matches with the experiences listed above. On the other hand, I know a lot of people who really try hard to make things into something they're not, because they disagree with a point of view.

When we're talking about spirituality, power and authority do not flow from the top down; they flow from the bottom up. Authority is given from the group to its leadership; and the leaders then re-confer that authority to those it finds suitable to achieve the group's goals. But when we're talking about a group of Buddhists, there is only one goal: to be free. Free from suffering, free from despair, free from even the need to wish for things they don't have. A true leader embraces valid criticisms. But I can't call these valid in any way; they are simply a rant, and not really constructive toward resolving any actual issue.

To say that I like everyone in the Mahajrya would be unrealistic. I have exchanged harsh words with ShivaGam, and even MahaVajra. But in the end, whether I was satisfied or not, I didn't go around trying to paint them as evil. I certainly didn't bring a complaint to the world without first addressing it with those directly involved or responsible. And I certainly didn't try to slander anyone because of my own lack of satisfaction. But I love these two men. And I also love the men and women I've met through this organization. That I haven't been active within the group is a matter of finances; but even then, they have quite often helped me find creative solutions, and in a few cases even provided me with money so that I could attend events that I needed to attend for my own growth.

I've had numerous teachers in the past. I've had mentors. I've had masters. I've had people whom I don't even know how to classify who have taught me things of value. And very few of them have had the impact that the methods used in the Mahajrya have had on me. For these things, I'm grateful. But to say that they always work with anyone is unrealistic. So if it doesn't work for you, decrying the whole thing as a fraud is precisely the image of throwing a temper tantrum.

As I said, not credible.

There is also the claim that we somehow remove negative comments or press. Not even the President of the United States can do that, apparently. The CIA, Rupert Murdoch, several world governments and numerous others have tried and failed. So this claim assigns power that the most powerful organizations in the world don't have. If true, it would make us the Illuminati or something. Any comments or negative statements that have been removed have been removed because they're not credible or useful, and it's not because anyone in the Mahajrya demanded it gone (that I'm aware of).

I don't "comb the internet" for slanderous or libelous statements. I don't have any alerts set up for that. But when someone brings something absurd to my attention like this, I feel the need to respond to such ludicrous statements. It's not that I'm saying there aren't people who are full of it within the Mahajrya (as there certainly are). I'm not even claiming to be free from being full of it at all times. But when we try to paint a whole organization with the same brush, it's the same as racism, sexism, ageism, and so on. It's just hatred.

And I wouldn't have understood that without the teachings of François Lépine, also known as Maha Vajra.

We don't have temples, so moving the meetings happens quite often. When we can find a place to meet regularly, we try to be as respectful as possible to the staff and everyone who makes such meetings possible. And as it was said, there's no secret meetings to speak of. The business of an organization is typically private to begin with, but having sat in on several of the meetings I can say that it's pretty ordinary stuff. And I don't necessarily agree with all of it, but then again I have never been told I need to.

When I have stepped away from teaching for a month or two at a time, they don't chase me down. They stress involvement in the world, rather than separation from it. The teachings are all aligned with Buddhism, even if they're not standard. But there are also teachings which stem from highly unlikely sources: Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Taoism, and even Shamanism... these are taught within the Mahajrya as a way to demonstrate the very interesting similarities in many cultures and faiths and points of view. And they don't necessarily disagree.

So when I say the word "incredible" I want the full meaning of my intent understood.

One of the experiences that will always have my gratitude and love is when I met my Master Maha Vajra, in life nobody teaches us to look inside yourself, contrary learn to project outwardly blame, lie, hate, dramatize and be our own victims of our circumstances, as to think that everything in life happens to you is you responsible for this, as to think that there is no bad or good luck, as to think that the war with war, this doesn´t leads to peace, and there is nothing to fight.

There's just something that's true experience, and above it, Maha Vajra taught me to experience the virtue in every act in every thought and feeling, I teach my lifestyle outside Wisdom and showed me the freedom of my Being, how? teaching me to live not deny what I feel to be conscious and in full acceptance of what happens inside and outside of me, because only then knowing me, observing me, I can get wisdom in me, knowing and observing others, knowing and observing nature, taught me not to steal love if not to give love to receive joy and that to fill my life Happiness, Freedom and Gratitude My passion is Live in Virtue Never before I had looke.
Have peace to be in the midst of war, have faith even if not what I had wished, have love to be in the midst of hatred and forgive the person who doesn´t know how to forgive.

Thank you for so much love without asking anything in return, Thank you for teaching me to know myself and to feel free release my neighbor

Hi, my name is Lakshmiyantra and my husband and I have been studying with Maha and the Mahajrya for 6 years. During that time, our happiness has grown, while our marital problems have decreased. I agree that it's very hard to have a good look at yourself, to face your ego and the human condition. We found that as we faced the truth about ourselves, we developed more consciousness and started to have a happier more abundant life together. It takes a lot of courage to see that you are not who you thought you were, to see that you are a soul having a physical experience that is driven by all your false concepts, programming, and habits of thought. I agree that Maha sometimes points out what we need to face and resolve, and that it's difficult to manage these comments in the human planes. I understand that he does this in great compassion for our soul growth and spiritual evolvement. We feel full of gratitude for all the help we have received in the Mahajrya--the comments from Maha and various other Masters, the techniques and skills that we learn, and the time Maha devotes to help us. In any bootcamp, there is "heavy lifting" to build endurance, strength, and capacity. It's why we attend a bootcamp. While there, we receive instruction about how to help ourselves evolve as a soul. Gratitude, Lakshmiyantra

My name is Luc Guay and I want to shortly give my opinion on this fraudulent comment. First, I want to point you out the credibility one can give to a comment from a person which doesn't give his or her name when commenting. I can understand one can fear something, but as long as anyone can say anything about anyone else, I just give no credit to comments from one that hides up.

As far as I am concerned, It's been close to five years now that I got to know François Lépine, Maha Vajra. Before I met him, I was earching for ways to be happy. I never found right answers in Religion nor in atheism, which I thought I was for a long time. Since I had tough times to get through, like any human being, I was searching ways to improve my life. I got to see many psychologists and friends that all helped to a certain extent, but never found the way to really take avantage of the teachings of life as well as I do now that I got the great wisdom Maha Vajra gives to everyone that comes to him.

So I won't repeat all the positive comments that you can read in all other comments that are following on this one, but I will assure you that I think, feel and assume all the positive comments posted hereby because I lived all these magnificient expériences and I am happier day by day because of the Mahajrya and of Maha Vajra's teachings.

Feel free to contact me if you want to know if I am real, I am on FB and it will be a pleasure to talk to you if that is what you wish.
Thank you for taking the time to read.

My name is Shivagam and I´m one of those heads of Mahajrya Buddhist Tradition that this person is complaining about. I know Maha and Mahajrya for around 9 years now. First I have to correct you that the social name of Maha Vajra is Francois Lepine so you have it right, he never tries to hide it at all, he just prefers been called Maha as a valid choice as some people uses nicknames or short forms of their names.

When I met him I was shy, not able to have a relationship and almost all the time depressed, after practising the techniques that he teaches I was able to get out of the black and deep hole I was so I have nothing else but gratitute towards him and I´m still a free being with a free mind and I do whatever I want to do.

It´s easy just to throw up anything you want about Maha, Mahajrya and us but facts are the only thing that matter, for every person complaining about us that you might find there are about 50 good opinions. Of course it is normal that our way of teaching doesn´t fit for everyone and we don´t pretend so. We believe in freedom and oneness so in every posible way/tradition that leads people to accomplishment.

The main reason why people react to our teachng is because our work is to point out the causes of suffering of our students and this of course it is not pleasant, it requieres courage to face our inner pain and stop projecting it on others. So we are not a phylosophy group of rainbow, new age, happy flowers and "everything is pink" that is to deny the suffering and it is just the opposite of Buddhism and not efficient.

Buddha thaught the 4 noble truth: 1) There is suffering 2) there is an understanding of suffering 3) There is a way to the liberation of suffering which is to study it and observ it until disolved 4) There is no suffering and you are free. So this is exactly what we practice and what we teach and it is what sometimes causes reactions on people. Of course every single person behind Mahajrya are human which means that our masters and ourselves (incluiding Maha) sometimes we can make mistakes as every human being and we are aware of it and we do our best to prevent it and train well to our priesthood.

Then about violence, it is a hard slander what you are affirming without any proof more than whatever you have created in your own mind. Maha does work with Police and militar forces but not to teach them how to be violent or how to kill, they already know how to do it, he works with them to prevent suffering of people in the big scale, somtimes to find a killer, other against terrorism always as a wise person/counseller only. He has never shot a weapon to any living being. I have been witness of a situation where he was beat up and instead of fighting back (that he really knows how to do it) he just remained there looking at this guy into his eyes with forgiveness then he guided this person to disolve his hatred and to forgive himselve. His brother was killed with a shotgun when he was 17 by a friend of both and after the event Maha went to see him to tell him "I forgive you, and you have to forgive yourself". So these are real stories and proofs that Maha is totally agains violence he believe in compassion and that is his real weapon.

To finish, we don´t hide our meetings at all, their are all public on our facebook page (facebook.com/mahajrya) and in our website www.mahajrya.org. It is true we sometimes changes location but it is not to hide anything but because most of our events are organized in the conference rooms of hotels (as you know) and sometimes we have to change it because their are not available or due to economic conditions. So you loose credibility on this too as you are just showing your dissapointment with us.

It is good that you decided to stop coming to our meetings and that you stop studying with us if that makes you happy, we are ok with it. Mahajrya does not own people. We believe in freedom and autonomy of every living being, so I know youi´ll find your way to find happines in the way you want to experience.

Replying to comment of Shiva Gam

Hello, my name is Michael Stanley I have been associated with Shivagam and his school integracionemocional.com since 2016 and I have taken many classes with him up to level 3 (took this level 3 times) and his online seminars and live classes and sessions on Youtube. I have had private sessions with Laksmi and vay bakti and Luciana and several others who are all I believed ordained in the Mahajyra. In 2019 I met Shivagam (his name is Carlos and I see that he has commented on this thread) and Maha in a one week seminar here in El Paso Texas I believe in the month of October. I enjoyed meeting Maha, he engaged me in a tough way but I am used to that since I come from a Military family. But my encounter with Carlos Shivagam was the most disappointing and I want to say shocking encounters of my life. This is the great Shivagam? No mames! I went up to him and told him that I was his student which for sure he must have seen me in his zoom classes, I told him he was doing good work and I thanked him. He looked at me and then walked away with no comment. I felt I was in the presence of evil. Not an exaggeration. I then went up to him again a few hours later and told him I was going to get a skin treatment for my nose and wanted a mantra and he motioned somebody to come over and “assist me” with Om Shanti Shanti Shanti mantra. He didn’t have time to tell me 4 words? Then he was making himself a coffee at the and I went up to him, he turned his back to me. Maha came up and engaged me, asked me what I was doing there. I told him I was a student of Shivagam. Shivagam kept his back to me all the time. I was talking to Maha about Shivagam, how I was his student and what I was studying, and Shivagam kept his back to me all the time. I was his student and he was my teacher. Well, I was his customer. Why would he act that way? Who the hell is Shivagam? What kind of creep is Shivagam? This is the Great Shivagam? Again, no mames! That was 3 and a half years ago and I haven’t been able to return to my studies of emotional integration and haven’t been able to watch his videos. I recently came to the conclusion that I have to accept that Shivagam is a phony spiritual leader. Carlitos is a clown. Carlitos es un payaso 🤡. Then talking to others like Laura Palacios in Argentina who was his teacher, she had a similar experience with him. I know that Luciana is no longer using his methods. I have talked to maybe 6 people that have had similar encounters with him and being disparaged and shamed by him and spending years having to “integrate”. A type of gaslighting I would say. I would like to say that that is his technique and he detects what you need, maybe you are arrogant and you need him to gaslight you and give you the silent treatment to trigger your pride, like emotional integration teaches, so that you can address it. Like in some way he is this all-knowing guru that immediately detects what you are lacking and challenges you to overcome that. After 3 and a half years I can not fool myself with that “compassionate” attitude. There is something deeply not right with this man. I have been around narcissists before and unfortunately it feels there is some type of personality disorder going on with him, or some level of autism. I am no expert - All I know is what I experienced. It would be different if he knew me personally and he was my teacher-guru and he had periodic interactions with me and could give me counseling and “tough love” and feedback. But this dude just meet me in person. It seemed he didn’t give a [censored] who I was, he was basking in the light of being Maha’s translator! Maha was his guru and Shivagam is the guru of nobody! I have been his student, a paying customer for almost 4 years at that point. He treated me bad, and this has nothing to do with tough love and triggering my pride. Again, there is something not right with this man. I have recently tried to get past this experience, I signed up level 4 of integraciónemocional.com. I sent Maha a messenger message and told him I needed help with overcoming this problem and I would like a paid consultation. He said for me to contact Luciana who I had previously already had around 100 sessions with and she seems to no longer believe in the program, or Sukisam, who told me he no longer provided consultations. I sent an email to Shivagam staff (there is no access to Shivagam directly) and told them what had happened to me and that I wanted to continue with the school and level 4 but that I had a terrible experience with Shivagam and I would like to talk to Shivagam and would pay to do it because I didn’t know who Shivagam was and I needed to get past this impasse. I had watched his videos for hours and I felt I knew him, as much as you can by watching videos, and being in online classes with him, but when I met him in person he was just like this “chalan” of Maha, his translator and he seemed like a bad person, even a sociopath. They said it was not possible for Shivagam to talk to me directly but that I could consider going to one of his seminars in person and maybe I might have the opportunity to talk to him. But I already went to one of his seminars (well it was a Maha seminar) and I didn’t have access to him even in person - remember the silent treatment and gaslighting - some type of drama there.

So I only meet Maha that one time. I don’t understand his organization. I don’t understand how Shivagam fits into his loose knit organization. I don’t understand how the 21 masks of the ego come from Buddhism. He seems sincere. I know people swear by him. He doesn’t say crazy random things, maybe to tweak people and challenge them, I don’t know. As far as Shivagam, I just don’t know what to make of him. There is something not right with this man. It seems like possibly there is a cult here in the making or already a cult. If you watch his videos the comments are “dear leader” type of brainwashed comments. “ Shivagam you are the greatest, you saved my life.” Again I would like to err on the side of caution and justify how he treats people as being part of his “training techniques” he has said that he shuns people in his seminars that comes to him “for love”. Why would he do that? If tony robbins can give love to an audience of 10,000 people, why can’t Shivagam give love and support to a room of 40 people? He has said that since he is gay he doesn’t want to be stereotyped as being too effusive etc. Okay, why don’t you go and “integrate” that for crying out loud, isn’t that your program? I guess if you are able to overcome his bad treatment of you and develop compassion for a disturbed person like Shivagam, at the end you will be a better person. But why wouldn’t he want to help you in the process of growth, why would he want to traumatize you and become and obstacle for you? I don’t get it. My conclusion: The emperor has no clothes. Carlos is a clown. El emperador va desnudo. Carlitos es un payaso. Best strategy: Stay away from Shivagam ie Carlos. I think him using the name of Shiva is a disgrace.

you can contact me, maybe we can start giving feedback videos about ol’ Carlos to help others

I am 7 years studying the techniques of Mahajrya and Maha Vajra, from my experience has been very effective not only in personal matters, but in my working practice, since I am physiotherapist and kinesiology entitled, and I've seen work in me, and the growth of virtue has been made that would improve my relationships as work, having more peace and harmony in my life.
Sorry for your bad experience, I can only say that I have always felt supported by the way I needed.
When one does personal growth has to face to see the pain that we keep inside and it always scares us and initially face the pain is painful but when we stop fighting and observe what is just and there, a release occurs and an autonomy that we full of happiness. This has been my experience and I can only witness this.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience that you wanted to leave and report very negative comments about it. Truth is, like every sect of spirituality you can study, there is no perfect option for everyone. However, I happen to see thousands of people who happen to really love what Maha Vajra has to say (seeing how people like his Facebook posts and YouTube videos, etc).

His methods are tough, because they are efficient. If you went to a fitness bootcamp to get in shape, they would push you to the point just below your max in order for you to see results quickly. If you went to a military training bootcamp, same thing. So a spiritual bootcamp is about helping you defeat emotional, mental and spiritual issues (and yes, even physical issues!) in a very efficient amount of time. There is a master out there for everyone. I personally agree with Maha's techniques because he doesn't treat everyone like they are the same person...he is an expert in tuning into each person's needs. I've seen him be super intense with people because they are very strong people (like me sometimes) to being extremely soft and gentle for people who need that (also like me sometimes). There is no cookie-cutter method to spiritual growth...it requires being flexible. He knows how to do that very well.

As for the science he discusses, I have a high degree in biology with 7 years of college in different subjects in science, and can validate that he talks with accuracy. And if doesn't know something, he ASKS people who do! He cares about making sure that he says things accurately.

As for people in the group with issues...everyone in the world has issues. Even Buddha had issues, and Jesus and anyone you can think of. The great thing though, about the group...is that they are not going to lie to your face and act like they DON'T have them! I would rather see 50 people in the seminar room with issues and actively working on them than 50 people who act like they're perfect but brewing with nasty issues underneath. I don't feel alone with this group. I feel like I belong.

- Peace

Greetings, I'm an studen of Maha Vajra, I've been studying Mahajrya longer than 6 years now, and I just can thank for all the support, even monetary support people from Mahajrya gives me, when I've been into economic problems. In Mahajrya we believe in virtue, and we practice virtue, if we agree. I've never been asked for money while attending Mahajrya bootcamps. I donate when I can and when I can't I'm always welcome.

If you're not ready to face your personal trials, Mahajrya is not the path for you, that's for sure. Cause we learn how to become autonomous, and while we conquer it, we give to each other the support we need, to keep going. We help everyone who wants to be helped. Even if they do not practice Mahajrya. We love the creation, we don't judge. So I do not judge you for your comment. But I will give my reply. You're free to share your experience, as free as I am to share mine.

It is always good to be reminded when I am stupid so thanks. I am also full of crap. Realizing that we can all say that is a big step toward enlightenment. I don't think you can say I support Maha as much as you could say I support the truth. Maha himself has said you should not believe what anyone says (himself included) unless you can experience it and prove it.

Even someone who is small potatoes can change a person's life profoundly for the better or worse...but only if that person allows it. The hard lesson we all have is that we are responsible for where we are in life because of the decisions we make or chose not to make. People who become followers instead of searchers want to be told what to do so they can divest themselves of the responsibility of their actions. So I guess I am in agreement with the warning in your post. DONT become a follower. I have learned that wisdom is found in many places when you search and I have found wisdom in the teachings of Mahajrya. That doesn't mean I am a follower. It means in my personal experience I have found value in experiencing this wisdom when I can test it, prove it and create the experience.

I have great compassion for you in your not wanting to let go of your attachment to drama and the grasping at value in an external locus. Again I hope there is something you can take from your experience as a lesson in trust and reliance on outside authority instead of personal responsibility. May you move as far away from these negative things in your life as you need to overcome them. Bless you.

your kind of basic ar'nt you? Hair dresser, silva, reiki etcetera they are very small potatoes, this Maha vajra guy works directly with mind control engineers in governments who harm people on a global scale and you support the guy. You think it's conspiracy theory, try to think again.😜You seem pretty stupid but alas that is your private business. Someday when you are totally somebody else you will come back to this post I wrote and realize I was right.

This seems to have come to the attention of a lot of folks like it did me recently as I see lots of recent comments.
I am Bhaktyakarma, a member of the Mahajrya group and I respect your experience and hope that future experiences in life are more to your liking.
I started studying the processes of mantra and meditation about 5 years ago with a teacher here in the US. I already had a background in Tibetan Buddhism and it felt like coming home. I was never asked to pay for the teachings and wisdom I received but when I could always donated to help out. I was told to make sure that I never caused a hardship to myself by donating. I met Maha personally when I helped organize his participation in a conference in our home town here in the southern US. He is engaging and direct. That directness is more provoking to some more than others. Each person reacts based on the experience and expectations they have. Other people can only exercise control over you if you allow it and some people seem to have a need to be led. I have never experienced this personally but have seen it in others. The first boot camp I attended I was told that if I found a way to get there they would take care of whatever arrangements I couldn't afford. As to the mental health worker issue. No one in the group is encouraged to do anything illegal or out of their training area. If you say Mahajrya walks that line then you have to include the Silva Ultramind program by Jose Silva, The meditation techniques of Burt the American monk and his Quantum jumping program along with every Reiki practitioner, Bartender and hairdresser so I won't even go into that. The experiences I have had with the group have led me to take personal charge of my life for me (Not them). Cultivate my compassion for others(Not me) and listen to the universe for everyone. I don't mean to change anyone's mind here and I truly hope there was at least something that the author took out of the experience that moved them down their karmic path
