Are *ALL* Hindu gurus frauds and sexual perverts? Of course for belivers in other religions the answer to the first part is "yes" - that is there teachings are lies.

But, for the sake of discussion, let us assume that there are certain truths in the Hindu religion. After all it is a very ancient religion that predates the appearance of the prophets of the One True God, which took place tens of thousands of miles away in a different land when they did occur.

The list of not total frauds in this religion is quite impressive:

Swami Ragneesh - the Oregon guru whose followers poisoned people. Also a sex pervert, I believe. Owned hundreds of Rolls Royces.

Swami Muktananda - had a big spread in Santa Monica. Had a penchant for having sex with children of his followers. 13 year old girls, in particular.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - the Beatles wrote "Sexy Sadie" about him after they found out he was having sex with his disciples.

Swami Kriyananda - aka Donald Walters. Also fond of the female disciples, From Wikipedia: " eight women testified under oath that Kriyananda had used his power as the leader of Ananda to obtain sexual gratification from them when they were in their 20s. "

So do any of them behave in an ethical manner at all?
