UK: Email – Enquiry About Ram Dass – My Answer! (26.9.2026)

26/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

As a capitalist he was opposed to Socialism. Meanwhile, “White” bourgeois individuals felt warm and fluffy when they experienced his romanticised stories about India (he even met the Nazi-educated Dalai Lama – saying nothing about his history). Laughably, he thought the pathetic Indian Army had spiritually “beaten” the Chinese PLA in 1962 – despite being physically crushed – as Mao drove on to Delhi (feeding the starving Indians they encountered on the way). If you want to see the latest incarnation of Ram Dass (pun intended) involving (White) Americans pretending to transcend material reality in exchange for money – please access “ramdass.org”. Ironically, many people who receive a “contact high” by listening to the lectures of Ram Dass – upload these lectures to the internet – giving free access to millions. Finally, the genuine Indian Guru – Neem Karoli Baba – taught everyone for “free”. That is a genuine spiritual reality. What Ram Dass and his supporters did to this pristine teaching is nothing less than a travesty and probably a crime in some countries (fraud). All this is the type of the iceberg regarding Ram Dass-related corruption and deception.

Extremist Religious Converts Declare Rock Noah's Ark!

Hong Kong: Noah’s Ark Found – Claims Christian Group! (25.9.2026)

25/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The irony (and injustice) is that the Constitution of China guarantees a belief (and disbelief) in religion – and facilitates genuine religious practice (including Christianity) to a far greater degree than the secular UK. The South China Morning Post travelled to Sutton and wrote an article following the migration path of one such rioting family who was given a “free” three-bedroomed house, car, job, healthcare, and schooling in the exclusive area of nearby Banstead – undermining the UK-Tory claims that this was not happening. Furthermore, as this Indian newspaper reports, lunatic evangelical Christians a) still exist in Hong Kong, and b) possess a full freedom to express their fanatical and ridiculous ideas unopposed. Their latest stupidity involves the misidentification of a natural rock formation in Turkey as being “Noah’s Ark” – a lie which even credits the pseudo-history of the Old Testament to be literally “true” (with Zionist undertones) – when such stories are religious myths used to control subjugated populations. Of course, these individuals have a right to hold their belief – just as I have the right to disagree. If you objectively research the religiously-based Noah’s Ark claims – you will find none of them are literally (objectively) true.

UK: A [1996] Letter Ram Dass Sent Me! (24.9.2026)

Typical of a White American, Alpert “sold” the spiritual teachings that are “free” in the genuine lineages. As a consequence, there were generations of individuals from around the world who fell under his spell. His teachings were seductive as he wanted to be liked. He was a homosexual who apparently sired a child with a woman. He was once a world-denying (celibate) yogi – but when he returned to the West he soon returned to his privileged (bourgeois) identity. I wrote to him to explain that he was wrong about Socialism and Chinese Buddhism. He had said that religion was suppressed in the Communist Bloc and that his texts were “outlawed” and illegally copied and passed around. None of this is true – but it is a common mythos in the US. The truth is that nobody cared what a rich Zionist had to say – who was busy co-opting the spiritual culture of a deeply impoverished country (India) – whilst denying that country the opportunity of breaking-out of this ignorance through the adoption of Socialism.

Six Die Worhipping Tree Branches at Tribal Karam Festival!

India: Tree-Worship Remains Statistically the Most Dangerous Religion in Bharat!

23/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Five of the deaths were reported in Bokaya village and the other in Nani Jharia hamlet. Jharkhand celebrated Karam, one of the biggest tribal festivals after Sarhul, on Tuesday.

The festival concludes with the immersion of a branch of Karam tree that was worshipped during the festival. Palamu Superintendent of Police Kapil Choudhary said an eight-year-old boy had drifted deep into the Koel river during the immersion ceremony in Bokaya village.

Four people jumped in to rescue him, and all of them drowned, he said. The bodies have been fished out of the river and sent for post-mortem, he added.

The deceased have been identified as Amit Kumar Thakur (22), Nitish Kumar Singh (18), Vishal Paswan (16), Raja Singh (12) and Hemant Kumar Singh (8).

In Nani Jharia village, 16-year-old Simpi Kumari drowned after she slipped and fell into a pond during an immersion ceremony there.

UK: Email – What Do I Think About the Balathal Skeleton? (22.9.2026)

22/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Although 700 BCE is touted around the internet – the remains could be as late as the 4th century CE (well within the date for Yoga). The site is not Indian – the skeleton is Indian. My own view is that if this is a holy man – we are probably talking about the disciples of the Buddha who dwelled at the base of trees – a “root-dweller” no-less. Of course, this is just speculation on my part and I am running with the “meditating in isolation” angle. There is absolutely no evidence for the “holy man” interpretation except for the conveniently positioned hands and fingers (the academic authors of the second paper go out of their way to insert an elaborate Hindu origin for this). This seems unprofessional to me. There is no surrounding (qualifying) evidence for the holy man hypothesis. What should usually happen is that a note would be added that draws the reader’s attention to the fact that these remains, when viewed in a certain light, possess a passing similarity to certain well-known religious postures found within the practices of a number of religious and spiritual paths. Whatever the case, more evidence is needed and none has been forthcoming (these are not “new” digs).

BMA (UK): India – Deconstructing the Balathal “Samadhi” Skeletal Remains! (21.9.2026)

21/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Such hate-filled ignorance is the modus operandi of the Hindutva ideologue. Christianity was in India long before the British came. In Pakistan – formerly North India – the Muslims preserve a tomb said to be that of Jesus Christ (who supposedly lived-out his life in India following the survival of his crucifixion). Then there is the story of St Thomas who is believed to have been martyred whilst praying in a cave in Tamil Nadu. Even if neither of these stories are true – Christianity probably arrived in India long before it arrived in England. The Buddha, of course, was “Indian” and born a high caste Hindu (Kshatriya). Buddhists are reformed Hindus and were not foreign (or violent) invaders (Marx refers to Buddhists as practicing “rational Brahmanism”). Muslims did invade a “Buddhist” India, and did use violence against the Buddhists who refused to fight back. Only the followers of Brahma took to the field before being defeated. Yes – followers of Brahma still existed in Buddhist India – being a manifestation of Buddhist tolerance.
