Guest guest Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 Dear Group members,Jaya Jagannatha!After fallacious writings of Robert Koch that I have hacked SJVCUSA.ORG web site and so many other untrue things, again I have no option other than to defend myself. Robert Koch has been intentionally harassing myself for quite some time now and simply said I am really sick and tired of his lies and if he continues like this I will have no other choice but to take legal action against him.To remind all of you SJVC-USA has been formed on explicit order/desire of Sanjay Rath and most of the work in registering SJVC-USA as an religious non-profit organization was done by Kusa devi. Many of you have ordered Sanjay's books and Sanjay's tapes that Kusa made available to interested audience and of course all the profits of that have gone to SJVC-USA account (unlike money collected by Laxmi (Lynne Kary) and Brendan for conferences, books and tapes that has gone to their personal accounts and is still today unaccounted for, so if you are ordering something from laxmi know that you are cheated).Simultaneously SJVC-USA has been incorporated as non-profit corporation in the state of New Jersey with it's bank account and all other legalities and was operating and still is operating without any problems. The 3 trustees or directors of the SJVC-USA as per Sanjay Rath's agreement are: Sruta Kirti Das (Director), myself (Dinanatha Das - Secretary) and Brenda Bon (Kusa's friend who agreed to be trustee for legal purposes while Kusa was acting as a Treasurer). All of this started in 1999 when most of you have never even heard of SJVC and SJVC-USA. When the organization was incorporated a web site www.SJVCUSA.org has also been started and maintained mainly by Sanjay Rath. I registered the domain name and web site and initial payment for web site was done by Narasimha Rao and all subsequent payment were borne by myself. SJVC-USA has been incorporated in New Jersey with address: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077. Same information was presented to IRS (Internal Revenue Service) who was actually checking our web site to see if we are differing from the rules govern by non-profit organizations. www.SJVCUSA.org was never meant to be a web site of any other organisation than SJVC-USA registered in New Jersey with office at: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077. So by accusing me that I hacked www.sjvcusa.org web site because I included valid legal information about SJVC-USA organization on the web site of the same organization, Robert openly admits that he hacked www.sjvcusa.org site and thus he is risking legal action and damages compensation claim against himself for unauthorized access to www.sjvcusa.org, presenting false and misleading information on the same site and unauthorized use of registered corporate name SJVC-USA. Personal legal actions and damage compensation claims against Robert by damaged trustees/directors of SJVC-USA (positions that Robert was unlawfully claiming for himself and others) are also likely to follow.In recent past Sanjay Rath wanted to change the SJVC-USA trustees and appoint Robert, Brendan and Laxmi instead of original trustees mentioned above. After presenting the matter to our lawyer and consulting him he advised us that it would be very harmful for a religious non-profit organization to do as Sanjay proposed. Our lawyer made several points:1. Change of all trustees with new ones is not welcome in the eyes of IRS, adding trustees instead is advisable2. Proposed head of organization (in this case Robert Koch) is working directly against the principles of SJVC and thus endangering the legal and non-profit status of SJVC. In the bylaws of SJVC is stated that SJVC is meant for free propagation of Jyotish knowledge (while Robert is charging for teaching) and also by definition a non-profit organization is not meant for a personal gain of any one individual (Robert is for many years using position of SJVC Guru to attract new clients and students and thus benefiting from his position in SJVC, you can still see this on his web site: http://robertkoch.com/robert.html and you can imagine what would happened if he would be legally in charge for SJVC-USA)3. Other proposed trustee Laxmi (Lynne Kary) to start with lied to Sanjay to get admission to SJVC and also has been involved with drugs and weapons smugglers (one of them was her ex-husband: Hansaduta Swami which was sentenced to jail for many years because of illegal use of drugs and weapons and smuggling of the same Sanjay was also informed about this on several occasions by myself and Kusa devi and than he made a decision that Robert, Brendan and Laxmi can form their own organization independent from existing SJVC-USA registered in NJ and that has registered office at: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077 Above 3 points, as mentioned by our lawyer, especially after 9/11 when it was discovered and determined by IRS that many Islamic charities in the USA were using their non-profit status to collect charity and than they were sending that charity to fund radical Islamic militant organizations (including Al-Queda) would deeply risk our non-profit status and could bring to SJVC-USA many unnecessary legal complications especially because part of SJVC-USA funds was supposed to go to India to help SJVC in India. As we know many Islamic militant organizations are present and are becoming increasingly active in India (which we could witness in recent shooting in Swami Narayan temple in Gandhi Nagar). Seeing the history of some of the proposed trustees our lawyer couldn't say anything else than what he mentioned in above points and conclude that persons like Laxmi and Robert are totally legally unfit to be trustees of SJVC. Knowing that Laxmi is another drop out from ISKCON like Robert it is easy to see that spiritually are not much more fit than what they are legally to be part of SJVC.The only person from proposed 3 names that could be fit as additional SJVC trustees was Brendan, who seems to be nice guy but deeply mislead by Robert and Laxmi. In 1999 Sanjay has asked Robert to become Jyotish Guru which former declined on the grounds that because he is charging (meaning ripping off) his students for Jyotish lessons he cannot do it and that because he is busy with doing charts for his clients he has no time for involvement in SJVC. Sanjay replied saying that SJVC Guru assignment is for life and not temporary and in the future if he wants he can take up that role (which didn't have to wait for long after Robert realized that being SJVC Guru is not so bad and generates more clients to be ripped off) This is how our Robert become SJVC Guru. Starting from that time Sanjay was warning him that he actually cannot be SJVC Guru and at the same time charge for teaching which was doing and Robert was quite proudly defying that warning of Sanjay.But how Robert who was initiated by Srila Prabhupada came into that pitiful condition that he just didn't care for orders and principle of any of his Gurus? While living in the ISKCON temple in India our Robert has learned little bit of Jyotish and understood that this could be quite good business on the West especially in the places like USA and he simply moved to USA and started his own business: Jyotish consultations and lessons. While for the consultations traditionally (if we follow the parampara which he obviously didn't even dream of) he could accept donations while teaching was supposed to be free. Of course, why would he? After dropping out from ISKCON he was quite free to break all the rules and principles of Gurus and parampara. So first he betrayed his first Guru Srila Prabhupada and than he didn't want to follow the order of the second guru. This type of behavior in Vedic culture is regarded as unchaste just like when woman at the time of marriage gives vows and than she stops following them and jumps to some other man.Similarly Robert at the time of initiation by Srila Prabhupada has given him lifetime vows which he is not following for many, many years. On the other hand whenever someone mentions this to Robert he just becomes uncontrollably mad and angry at that person that he cannot control himself, as you could see from his last letter where he was accusing me that I hacked SJVC's web site. As you can see Robert has all the "good" qualities of Guru and spiritual leader. He was always a looser and will continue to be one. To conclude only legal SJVC-USA organization in the USA is the one incorporated in the state of New Jersey (and there is no other), has registered office at: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077. Again, there is no other SJVC-USA like Robert & Co. are claiming, they are simply misleading you and lying to you. Any unauthorized use of SJVC-USA corporate name, it's web site (www.sjvcusa.org), collections and fund raising done in the name of SJVC-USA by unauthorized persons are legally punishable and offenders will be legally prosecuted to the maximum possible extent. I am sorry that I have to act like this, but after tolerating long lasting misconduct of Robert Koch as so called SJVC Guru, constant unauthorized use (hacking) of www.sjvcusa.org and giving false and misleading information on the same web site, constant hassle and lies that he was spreading about SJVC and myself personally, I had to resort to this step because someone has to put Robert in his place.

Robert & Brendan's>name have been removed and instead Dinanatha's name is replaced.>Hope this situation is rectified immediately.>>Regards>NarayanNarayan, you are absolutely correct. The removal of myself, Brendan, and Laksmi is indeed part of the insidious workings of Dina-natha. For those who may not know the history, let me provide a brief summary: Dina-natha had been removed from any spiritual, instructing, or administrative duties in SJVC, due to continuous and reckless verbal offenses committed to not just myself, but Brendan, Laksmi, and even Sanjay. He had been given numerous warnings, and encouragement to "bury the ax", to try to diffuse his unreasonable and unconscionable anger, and learn how to work cooperatively. Still, he ignored these requests and continued to launch a self-determined assault on all those who had been personally hand-picked by Sanjay to head the SJVC in north and south Americas. Why he has chosen to embark on this hurtful and destructive path, only Lord Sri Jagannatha Mahaprabhu knows the answer.Let all be advised, that Dina-natha has no standing whatsoever in SJVC-USA. His reprehensible activities of hacking into and dismembering the SJVC site should be ignored, while in the meantime, we shall look into the technical side of this matter further. No one shall give donations of any kind in the name of SJVC to Dina-natha, nor is he to be given any regard as a prior member of this organization, nor should anybody pay attention to what he says. His mindless and delusional activities shall be ignored. If anybody has any doubts as to the true intent of Sri Sanjay Rath in these matters, then he/she may contact him directly.In the service of Jyotir-vidya,Robert~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Robert A.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Hi, to Dinanatha Das, it looks like you will be able to clear your name, I hope so Angie vedic astrology, "Dinanatha Das" <vedic@s...> wrote: > Dear Group members, > > Jaya Jagannatha! > > After fallacious writings of Robert Koch that I have hacked SJVCUSA.ORG web site and so many other untrue things, again I have no option other than to defend myself. Robert Koch has been intentionally harassing myself for quite some time now and simply said I am really sick and tired of his lies and if he continues like this I will have no other choice but to take legal action against him. > > To remind all of you SJVC-USA has been formed on explicit order/desire of Sanjay Rath and most of the work in registering SJVC-USA as an religious non-profit organization was done by Kusa devi. Many of you have ordered Sanjay's books and Sanjay's tapes that Kusa made available to interested audience and of course all the profits of that have gone to SJVC-USA account (unlike money collected by Laxmi (Lynne Kary) and Brendan for conferences, books and tapes that has gone to their personal accounts and is still today unaccounted for, so if you are ordering something from laxmi know that you are cheated). > > Simultaneously SJVC-USA has been incorporated as non-profit corporation in the state of New Jersey with it's bank account and all other legalities and was operating and still is operating without any problems. The 3 trustees or directors of the SJVC-USA as per Sanjay Rath's agreement are: Sruta Kirti Das (Director), myself (Dinanatha Das - Secretary) and Brenda Bon (Kusa's friend who agreed to be trustee for legal purposes while Kusa was acting as a Treasurer). All of this started in 1999 when most of you have never even heard of SJVC and SJVC-USA. When the organization was incorporated a web site www.SJVCUSA.org has also been started and maintained mainly by Sanjay Rath. I registered the domain name and web site and initial payment for web site was done by Narasimha Rao and all subsequent payment were borne by myself. SJVC-USA has been incorporated in New Jersey with address: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077. Same information was presented to IRS (Internal Revenue Service) who was actually checking our web site to see if we are differing from the rules govern by non-profit organizations. > www.SJVCUSA.org was never meant to be a web site of any other organisation than SJVC-USA registered in New Jersey with office at: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077. So by accusing me that I hacked www.sjvcusa.org web site because I included valid legal information about SJVC-USA organization on the web site of the same organization, Robert openly admits that he hacked www.sjvcusa.org site and thus he is risking legal action and damages compensation claim against himself for unauthorized access to www.sjvcusa.org, presenting false and misleading information on the same site and unauthorized use of registered corporate name SJVC-USA. Personal legal actions and damage compensation claims against Robert by damaged trustees/directors of SJVC-USA (positions that Robert was unlawfully claiming for himself and others) are also likely to follow. > > In recent past Sanjay Rath wanted to change the SJVC-USA trustees and appoint Robert, Brendan and Laxmi instead of original trustees mentioned above. After presenting the matter to our lawyer and consulting him he advised us that it would be very harmful for a religious non-profit organization to do as Sanjay proposed. Our lawyer made several points: > > 1. Change of all trustees with new ones is not welcome in the eyes of IRS, adding trustees instead is advisable > 2. Proposed head of organization (in this case Robert Koch) is working directly against the principles of SJVC and thus endangering the legal and non-profit status of SJVC. In the bylaws of SJVC is stated that SJVC is meant for free propagation of Jyotish knowledge (while Robert is charging for teaching) and also by definition a non-profit organization is not meant for a personal gain of any one individual (Robert is for many years using position of SJVC Guru to attract new clients and students and thus benefiting from his position in SJVC, you can still see this on his web site: http://robertkoch.com/robert.html and you can imagine what would happened if he would be legally in charge for SJVC-USA) > 3. Other proposed trustee Laxmi (Lynne Kary) to start with lied to Sanjay to get admission to SJVC and also has been involved with drugs and weapons smugglers (one of them was her ex-husband: Hansaduta Swami which was sentenced to jail for many years because of illegal use of drugs and weapons and smuggling of the same > > Sanjay was also informed about this on several occasions by myself and Kusa devi and than he made a decision that Robert, Brendan and Laxmi can form their own organization independent from existing SJVC-USA registered in NJ and that has registered office at: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077 > > Above 3 points, as mentioned by our lawyer, especially after 9/11 when it was discovered and determined by IRS that many Islamic charities in the USA were using their non-profit status to collect charity and than they were sending that charity to fund radical Islamic militant organizations (including Al-Queda) would deeply risk our non-profit status and could bring to SJVC-USA many unnecessary legal complications especially because part of SJVC-USA funds was supposed to go to India to help SJVC in India. As we know many Islamic militant organizations are present and are becoming increasingly active in India (which we could witness in recent shooting in Swami Narayan temple in Gandhi Nagar). Seeing the history of some of the proposed trustees our lawyer couldn't say anything else than what he mentioned in above points and conclude that persons like Laxmi and Robert are totally legally unfit to be trustees of SJVC. > > Knowing that Laxmi is another drop out from ISKCON like Robert it is easy to see that spiritually are not much more fit than what they are legally to be part of SJVC. > > The only person from proposed 3 names that could be fit as additional SJVC trustees was Brendan, who seems to be nice guy but deeply mislead by Robert and Laxmi. > > In 1999 Sanjay has asked Robert to become Jyotish Guru which former declined on the grounds that because he is charging (meaning ripping off) his students for Jyotish lessons he cannot do it and that because he is busy with doing charts for his clients he has no time for involvement in SJVC. Sanjay replied saying that SJVC Guru assignment is for life and not temporary and in the future if he wants he can take up that role (which didn't have to wait for long after Robert realized that being SJVC Guru is not so bad and generates more clients to be ripped off) This is how our Robert become SJVC Guru. Starting from that time Sanjay was warning him that he actually cannot be SJVC Guru and at the same time charge for teaching which was doing and Robert was quite proudly defying that warning of Sanjay. > But how Robert who was initiated by Srila Prabhupada came into that pitiful condition that he just didn't care for orders and principle of any of his Gurus? While living in the ISKCON temple in India our Robert has learned little bit of Jyotish and understood that this could be quite good business on the West especially in the places like USA and he simply moved to USA and started his own business: Jyotish consultations and lessons. While for the consultations traditionally (if we follow the parampara which he obviously didn't even dream of) he could accept donations while teaching was supposed to be free. Of course, why would he? After dropping out from ISKCON he was quite free to break all the rules and principles of Gurus and parampara. So first he betrayed his first Guru Srila Prabhupada and than he didn't want to follow the order of the second guru. This type of behavior in Vedic culture is regarded as unchaste just like when woman at the time of marriage gives vows and than she stops following them and jumps to some other man.Similarly Robert at the time of initiation by Srila Prabhupada has given him lifetime vows which he is not following for many, many years. On the other hand whenever someone mentions this to Robert he just becomes uncontrollably mad and angry at that person that he cannot control himself, as you could see from his last letter where he was accusing me that I hacked SJVC's web site. As you can see Robert has all the "good" qualities of Guru and spiritual leader. He was always a looser and will continue to be one. > > To conclude only legal SJVC-USA organization in the USA is the one incorporated in the state of New Jersey (and there is no other), has registered office at: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077. Again, there is no other SJVC-USA like Robert & Co. are claiming, they are simply misleading you and lying to you. > Any unauthorized use of SJVC-USA corporate name, it's web site (www.sjvcusa.org), collections and fund raising done in the name of SJVC-USA by unauthorized persons are legally punishable and offenders will be legally prosecuted to the maximum possible extent. > > I am sorry that I have to act like this, but after tolerating long lasting misconduct of Robert Koch as so called SJVC Guru, constant unauthorized use (hacking) of www.sjvcusa.org and giving false and misleading information on the same web site, constant hassle and lies that he was spreading about SJVC and myself personally, I had to resort to this step because someone has to put Robert in his place. > > Hare Krishna, > Dinanatha Das (SJVC-USA Secretary) . - > Robert A.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Dear Dinanatha Das, I want you to be aware that new people from South Africa are now reading these posts. People who had hoped to study Jyotish and who were eager and naive enough to think they would find it here. Last month, an article I wrote on Jyotish appeared in our leading new age magazine Namaste praising the SJVC specifically and advertising the group and the good work it has done for Vedic astrology. This magazine is highly respected and has a wide circulation in my country. Have you *any* idea how embarrassing it is to have to explain to them now why the so-called "leaders" of this "sacred" and "holy" science (which is what I called the article) are behaving on the list? I understand you all have your wretched little grievances and petty hates and dislikes. For heavens sake keep them off the list. As Ramapriya says, we are actually not interested. We want to learn Jyotish and hopefully become better leaders than what we have witnessed here. No-one person "owns" this list. The good Lord does, not you, or Robert Koch, or anybody else for that matter. In one minute it could be demolished if that was His will. Keep the power mongering out of Vedic astrology.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Wow!!! Things aren't what they really appear to be. Dinanath makes some very valid points. Why let someone like laxmi whose ex-husband was convicted for drugs and weapons charges be associated with an organization like SJVC. It appears that Dinanath is righteous and Robert Koch is the thug as Dinnath's e-mail appears to be candid and a statement of fact. Why doesn't Robret defend himself if he is righteous and Dinanath is lying?

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Dear MD, Jaya Jagannatha! >Wow!!! Things aren't what they really appear to be. Yes, you are certainly right. Unfortunately due to effect of Kali Yuga you will often see is history that righteous and honest persons for no reason were tortured and harassed by envious ones. In Kali Yuga it is enough to say that someone is bad without providing any facts or evidence and than person actually has to prove that he is not guilty, just like in my case. I guess the person should be considered innocent until proven that he is guilty but I guess in Kali Yuga things are quickly changing. Robert is definitely under a full sway of Kali Yuga and he as already broken vows given to his first Guru Srila Prabhupada. Now he is not following the vows given to Srila Prabhupada and is also charging his students for teaching Jyotish. How can you call a gentleman a person who is breaking his word and not only word but a sacred vows given to his diksa guru in front of Deities, holy fire and other Vaishnavas?. Of course if you mention this to Robert he'll become so mad and angry at you and he'll not spare any bad words to describe his feelings towards you like you can see from his previous emails about me. I just got a message from a person who wanted to become Robert's student and he says that Robert wanted to charge him for every little thing and on top of that he was demanding a respect because as he said "he is a Brahmin and was initiated by Srila Prabhupada". Not only that he doesn't follow any brahminical principles, but he is also charging students to teach them Jyotish which is exactly opposite what he claims to be ( a Vedic Brahmin). He openly admitted to his friends that he is not following vows given to Srila Prabhupada and yet he is demanding respect for that (you can also see his web site http://robertkoch.com/robert.html where he claims to be a student of Bhaktivedanta Swami (Srila Prabhupada)). >Dinanath makes some very valid points. Why let someone like laxmi >whose ex-husband was convicted for drugs and weapons charges be >associated with an organization like SJVC. It appears that Dinanath >is righteous and Robert Koch is the thug as Dinnath's e-mail appears >to be candid and a statement of fact. Why doesn't Robret defend >himself if he is righteous and Dinanath is lying? This ongoing saga has started a while back on Achyuta mailing list on which is reserved for SJVC Gurus. However in his madness Robert couldn't content himself to only Achyuta mailing list and have a normal and meaningful discussion there so he started sending indiscriminately his false accusations against me to all mailing lists connected to SJVC. Since he has done that I deserve at least to defend myself and present a facts. Those who use their common sense and intelligence and are unbiased will be able to see easily who is right and who is wrong. The facts are very simple: 1. SJVC-USA has been formed on explicit order/desire of Sanjay Rath and most of the work in registering SJVC-USA as an religious non-profit organization was done by Kusa devi. SJVC-USA is registered in state of New Jersey with the office address at: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077 2.When the organization was incorporated a web site www.sjvcusa.org has also been started meant to propagate activities of SJVC-USA registered in NJ with the office address at: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077 3. As I mentioned in my previous message recently Sanjay did request us that instead of existing trustees/directors of SJVC-USA we put Robert, Brendan and Laxmi. In my previous message you could see legal reasons why it wasn't advisable and possible to do that and Sanjay has also agreed with that and suggested to Robert, Brendan and Laxmi to start separate organization from already existing SJVC-USA which is registered in state of New Jersey with the office address at: 1504 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, N.J. 08077 Now I don't understand why Robert wants to use SJVC-USA's web site for his own organization? He could simply pay for and start the web site of his own organization and display organizational structure of his organization or whatever he wants on the web site of his organisation. Sanjay told him to start separate organization from existing SJVC-USA so I don't know why is he picking on me and is accusing me that I hacked www.sjvcusa.org when I updated SJVC-USA's site with valid legal information of the SJVC-USA organization to which www.sjvcusa.org site belongs? I also don't understand why he insist on using name SJVC-USA when Sanjay told him to start separate organization? He can call his organization whatever he wants. Maybe the part of the problem is that his organization is not registered yet and they don't have name for it. In that case I would advise Robert to please get a name for his organization different than SJVC-USA which is already registered and than there is no problem. At the end I would beg Robert to please let us run SJVC-USA in peace without disturbances that he is making. Robert, you have got Sanjay's blessings to start your own organization so please do that. We never interfered with activities of your organization so please don't interfere with ours, simple as that. I would like to apologies to all group members because of all this, but I guess the other side of the story should also be heard, especially after all these accusations. Unfortunately none could predict that Robert will behave like this and go out of control, so I beg all of you again for forgiveness and for inconvenience caused. The matter is very simple with a simple solution. I hope that Robert will come to his senses and just live peacefully and let others also live peacefully. Hare Krishna, Dinanatha Das. P.S. Please let's continue with Jyotish discussions, pray for peace and hope that some individuals will finally understand some things in life.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Dear MD, Other things apart, your statement that someone should be barred because his/her spouse was something isn't acceptable. Why should the other be punished for no fault of his/hers? Ramapriya hubli (AT) vsnl (DOT) com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Dear Dinanatha, The PS in your letter is a lot more important than the body of the letter. An ax to grind with any individual is no reason to pull the plug on an entire chain of activities that affect a whole gamut of utterly unsuspecting people. Neither SJVC nor the VA forums is a platform for you and Robert to mudsling each other. How could the rest of us be bothered what you think of each other? We're only inconvenienced by the inconvenience. Warm regards, Ramapriya hubli (AT) vsnl (DOT) com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither SJVC nor the VA forums is a platform for you and Robert to mudsling each other. How could the rest of us be bothered what you think of each other? We're >only inconvenienced by the inconvenience. I think it is rather important to clarify certain things especially if you are the victim and someone is accusing you for no reason, just try to put yourself in my position and imagine how would you feel. There has been quite a few people complaining to us about Robert Koch's practices and just to illustrate experience one of them with Robert Koch here is one email about Robert Koch that we received recently (you can also find it at: http://sjvcusa.org/robert_the_great.htm ) - Kripapm3 dnd Sunday, September 29, 2002 7:16 PM Robert Koch Hi, my name is Paul Manouvrier. Your letter was forwarded to me by XXXX (name omitted for security reasons) in that I'd had a somewhat similar encounters with Robert Koch. Although it has been awhile back, let me see if I can briefly sketch what happened. I've been doing vedic astrology on my own w/varying amounts of attention and inattention since the early 80's. Obviously, I could've used a mentor and this is how I found Robert Koch through the SJVC web site. At first, we had a pleasant conversation where he agreed w/me that most of the American vedic astrologers that I'd met through the ACVA were not very good although they all seem to claim that they'd spent time in India and had some credentialthat testified to this. The fact that they weren't any better than I was led me away from them and to a Hindu astrologer living in Oakland Ca., Pandit Pravanji, who claimed to be the Father of some female Saint or Guru. In short, he essentially claimed to channel his in-laws and spent a lot of my girl friend's reading telling her not to perform oral sex. Robert Koch informed me that unlike the other mentors, he charged $100 dollars an hour for his consulting or mentoring services. I was going to think about it. Scrolling down his web site, I discovered an advertisement for Pandit Pravanji on his web site. I emailed him back and said that I did not want to be associated with that fraud and was irrate in that suddenly, he seemed no better than the David Frawley crowd, et. al. He emailed me back that I was wrong. I emailed him back and said that I knew what I saw. We then entered into a progressively heated arguement via email where he referred to my chart, which I'd given him, and said that this was exactly my problem, that I'd done this to Guru's in a past life. I truly didn't know whether to laugh or explode. One, I didn't want Robert for a Guru or a teacher of any kind. All I wanted was for him to tutor me in the Dasa system that Rath had advocated in his book. Second, even if I'd wanted a mentor, then it wouldn't be a guy that via email angrily insisted on being my Guru and that I obey him to the point that I'd said that I'd more likely kick his ass if I were ever in Oregon. Third, his astrological analysis was designed to manipulate me and not necessarily true. What he based it on was taking an astrological molehill and turning it into a mountain. He motive was to control me which is what would get a pschologist sued for malpractice. This made me mad(that he would be willing to do this to the uninformed) so I forwarded the email to Sanjay Rath. He asked why I was so angry? I enquired that since he didn't know me, why wouldn't he ask Koch that, first? And, also, into his faulty astrology. He said that he dis-agreed with Koch about charging and agreed to mentor me; but then responded 6 weeks later to my enquiries about Koch's astrological points and said that he was too busy. Understand, other than being interested in learning Vedic astrology, I make no grand spirtual claims other than that i loosely follow Swami Sachichidannanda of Mysore, i meditate, and worship God. I eat chicken & fish, have a bad temper, & even shoot hanguns although only at paper targets and not at animals. However, I do know a fair amount of Vedic astrology and know enough to know that Koch is limited and his behavior is manipulative, mercenary, and rancerous. He is not anybody's Guru but a complete fraud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
