So that is 40-plus years of horrific acts of sadism. He told me he started the sadism when he was 30. Then ten years later, he showed his really true colors with the sadism. He started out raping women and calling it tantric enlightening. “Chet has been at it for more than 40 years. Highly elevated gurus like Chetanananda are increasingly waiting until a girl reaches the age of consent before offering her their highly advanced, if at times flaccid, wisdom. With new laws, harsh law enforcement, and penalties for statutory rape, the great gurus have lost one of the most important fields for recruitment.
Muktananda’s record for having sex with teen girls will probably never be broken. But in one department, the old master will not likely be topped. As Swami Chetanananda, he may have even surpassed his guru Muktananda in the number of women disciples he had sex with. Swami Muktananda gave Michael Shoemaker the title of Swami, and Shoemaker used the title to his advantage. He liked to finger them at age 12 or 13 to check their purity. He almost got into serious trouble because the girls he enjoyed best were barely post-pubescent.
A skinny, homely little man, he preferred women and girls. He took the name Chetanananda, which means ‘bliss of pure Self-awareness.'”Swami Muktananda, like Rudi, was another great master at using the guru-technique to have sex with disciples. His online bio explains, “Swamiji formalized his commitment to spiritual growth by being initiated as a swami (‘master of oneself’) by Swami Muktananda on May 14, 1978. Still, he lacked something that would give him the credentials to make money and have sex without having to seduce women.
Shoemaker succeeded in taking over Rudi’s legacy.
