new age type guru from the western hippie era

graduated from Columbia University

was a disciple of Muktananda in India

developed his own following in the US, marked
with fraud and controversy.

   Baba Freejohn...I laugh. What a degradation!
Even Freejohn, who has now changed--not himself,
only his name... He no longer call himself baba. He
used to call himself baba because he was a disciple
of Baba Muktanada. In India, out of love, a Master
is called baba. So he started calling himself baba.
But then, realizing that it was imitative, he dropped
it. He now calls himself "Dada" Freejohn. It is the
same; whether dada or baba, it is all nonsense. But
these people are all around; beware of them.
Unless you are totally clear, there is every
possibility of being caught in somebody's net...
