Namaste Sri Kalivardhan-ji.

 

Straying away from religion can either be a part of ones personal

growth or a fallout of association with some destructive cult. It

should be a taken as a problem only in the latter case. Unfortunately

many of the new age movements are but cults with a milder face.

 

Psychological manipulation by cults is often at subtle levels and in

such case you may need professional help. Rick A. Ross and Steven

Hassan are some of the names that readily come to mind for cult

recovery. You may get helpful information from their websites.

 

A word of caution here. There is often a charge that cult recovery

psychotherapists lump everything non-christian as "cult'. There may be

some truth in it, however, my experience has not been so cynical. Few

years back I had been in touch with Mr. Steven Hassan for a relative

associated with "Art-of-Living" foundation. She had almost abandoned

her family and other obligations for guruji, then fell out of his

favor, became a nervous wreck and was in urgent need of psychological

help. I found Steven Hassan very sincere and helpful and though he

could not recommend anyone in Mumbai, I bought his book "Combatting

Cult Mind Control" and found it immensely useful.

 

In addition, there are many support groups for ex-TMs, ex-Brahma

Kumaris, ex-Hare Krishnas, and ex-Sahaj Yogis and you may find helpful

information from them.

 

By the way, I never heard of Esha Yoga. Or is it Isha Yoga?
