New Book Tells the Story of One Woman’s Life in a Dangerous
Cult — and Reveals Her Two Former Gurus’ Dark Secrets
Author Lived in their Cult and Lived to Tell their Secrets in New
Memoir, Sex, Lies, and Two
Hindu Gurus: How I Was Conned by a Dangerous Cult – And Why I Will Not
Keep Their Secrets
AUSTIN, TEXAS, February 6, 2012 — One year ago, Karen Jonson was
sitting in a Texas courtroom praying that her former guru would be
found guilty for his crimes against children. Now, she is publishing
the story of her 15 years in his Austin, Texas, ashram in a book
titled: Sex, Lies, and Two Hindu Gurus: How I Was Conned by a
Dangerous Cult—And Why I Will Not Keep Their Secrets. The ebook will
launch on February 15, 2012.
The book launches on the same day as the inauguration of Jagadaguru
Kripalu Parishat’s largest temple and the largest temple in Vrindavan,
India, called Prem Mandir. The massive structure of imported materials
is estimated to cost $1 billion dollars (U.S.), much of which was
donated by people who were told the money was going to build
charitable hospitals.
“I specifically chose this publication date for this reason, because
it emphasizes the lies JKP tells the public,” says Jonson. “What’s
more, this date is close to the one-year anniversary of Prakashanand
Saraswati’s criminal trial in Texas and his escape into hiding in
Mexico.”
The sole purpose of the new giant temple is to glorify the head guru
of the Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (JKP)—Kripalu Maharaj (aka Ram
Tripathi)—who uses the self-designated title “jagadguru.” He has been
arrested for rape twice during his 60-year reign as a Hindu “spiritual
leader.” Yet, he has never been held accountable for these crimes or
any others, and his true story has not been told—until now in Sex,
Lies, and Two Hindu Gurus.
"Sex, Lies, and Two Hindu Gurus" reveals many truths about Jagadguru
Kripalu Parishat:
• Kripalu’s bedroom rituals — under the guise of being “Krishna”
• Offering virgins to Kripalu
• An insider view of Prakashanand’s criminal trial
• Two letters exchanged between the gurus about their spiritual scam
• The mystery surrounding the disappearance of one of the preachers
• A behind-the-scenes view of life in the gurus’ ashrams
• Details of the gurus’ long-running Hindu con game
In her memoir, Jonson tells the harrowing story of being lured into
the cult by a clever conman, dedicating her life to the gurus, living
in their U.S. ashram as a renounce Hindu devotee, learning their dark
secrets, and working to expose the truth about the gurus and their
spiritual con game. The story unfolds in seven parts:
1. In the Beginning — For the Love of God
2. In the Ashram — The Razor’s Edge
3. In the Dark — Curiouser and Curiouser
4. In the Cult — Losing My Religion
5. In the World — Divine Intervention
6. In the Trial — Truth and Consequences
7. In Hindsight — Deconstructing the Guru Con Game
Not only did Jonson live this story, she also conducted extensive
research for this book. Jonson talked to many ex-devotees, experts on
Hinduism, lawyers, the FBI, and others. She also unearthed
documentation of the gurus misdeeds, including a newspaper article
about Kripalu’s arrest for raping two underage girls in India, a flyer
warning people about the deceptive rapist Kripalu, two letters where
the gurus discussed their “goal of collecting millions of dollars,”
and more. Also, to help propagate the truth about these dangerous cult
leaders, Jonson started a Facebook page (The Truth Project for Barsana
Dham and JKP) and a blog (http://www.rishikaxcult.com). Many people
have already been informed and have steered clear of the gurus.
“This book is the culmination of my effort to get this important
information out to those who have been conned and who might be conned
by the gurus and preachers of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat,” says
Jonson. “My hope for this book is to give readers an inside look at
how this con game operates, how I was lured in, what the gurus were
actually doing behind closed bedroom doors, and why no one has stopped
this organization and its fake gurus from raping underage girls,
taking people’s money, and ruining people’s lives. I want to keep
people, especially children, safe from the greedy clutches of this
spiritual con game.”
The audience for Sex, Lies, and Two Hindu Gurus is anyone who wants to
keep themselves and their family members and friends free of bogus
spiritual organizations, and people who want to better understand the
inner workings of mind-control organizations, including past and
current members of JKP, members of other cults, spiritual seekers,
parents, young adults, lawyers, and law enforcement.
The book is published by Rishika Books in English. First edition
copies of Sex, Lies, and Two Hindu Gurus are available as an ebook at
http://www.rishikaxcult.com. The 300-page ebook sells for $14.95. The
ebook will be available for a limited time at the discounted launch
price of $9.99. Future editions will be available on Amazon.com and
other online bookstores.
A portion of the sales of Sex, Lies, and Two Hindu Gurus will go to
charities that help children recover from being raised in cults.
