Alert! There is Another JKP Scam Underway. A Multi-Million Dollar Library/Museum. Watch Your Wallet.

Image: Someone sent me this image which is an early rendering of a new building in Mangarh, India, called a “museum/library.” Does it still look like this hideous drawing? But, more importantly, why is JKP spending multiple millions of dollars on this when they could actually be helping the needy in India? (Shown for educational and research purposes.)

If you are involved in Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat in any way, shape, or form, I can guarantee that, at some point, you’ll be asked to make a huge donation to “Kripalu’s library/museum.” It’s being built in Mangarh, India — his birthplace. I’ve been told it’s going to be a high-tech, multimedia facility.

It’s yet another building on the sprawling property, which appears more like a suburban residential development than a spiritual organization. The museum/library is another feature designed to lure more people into purchasing their “very own home in the ashram at Mangarh — starting at just $100,000 U.S. for a teeny, tiny room with a bed, kitchen, and bathroom. Prices go up the more space and luxuries you want in your apartment.

I’ve also been told that the museum/library is a multi-million-dollar project that is being overseen by one of the Three Greedy Didis favorite male devotees — a youngish, never-married leader in JKP, Chirag Patel. 

I know him personally as a very aggressive money collector. He was in charge of overseeing the seva cash from devotees during Kripalu’s two trips to the U.S.A. Chirag is good with numbers and has helped the organization collect multiple millions over the years. 

What is all this non-stop building in JKP ashrams all about, anyway? Aren’t saints supposed to be humble teachers of scriptures to help souls return to God? If they need a library and museum to house Kripalu’s meager collection of books, why not just make it a quiet, humble room in the buildings that are already there?

Of course, I know why. Because that would not give them a good enough reason to pick your pockets clean. Just like when they collect money for their “charities,” they give a little to the charity and then keep the rest. How else do you think they amassed a complicated network of India-based trusts worth over one billion dollars U.S.?

Plus, having a bunch of fancy buildings helps them sell the apartments. It’s just like an apartment building in any city. They charge you more when they tell you there is a swimming pool, exercise room, and lounge. 

All the old devotees must be thinking they are going to have a really great retirement in their own apartment in a devotional setting. Then they find out they are cramped into a mouse hole in a noisy construction site where the emphasis is now placed on attracting more youth with fun and games. JKP ashrams have become little more than circuses. 

The library/museum is just another one of JKP’s uncountable con jobs. If you can’t see that JKP is lying to you about everything, then you’ll just have to waste this life being a gullible devotee of a con man and child rapist. Maybe you’ll snap out of your delusion in your next life.
