>I couldn't agree more, Chris. Not only does this make them hypocrites, they're taking complete advantage of their "students." This would not be a relationship between equals, even assuming the disciples are consenting adults. Anytime one person has power over another, they're crossing a line by having sex with them. And it's particularly offensive when they're preaching morality.

On some cultural level I guess I agree with you. But in my actual experience - in life - I've found that power relations are almost always unequal and in flux. But it seems like sex is perfectly natural and "good" to happen anyway. I think even more than sex we have issues around power - it's very difficult to unravel. I've been spending a lot of time on it personally and I'm constantly surprised by new unconscious dimensions . . . I'd love to have some discussion of that topic soon. Maybe I'll sit down and type something up in a bit . . .

But Guru's preaching morality?? Uhm - I would hope not! I wouldn't have much use for someone teaching Advaita who preached anything, certainly not something as culturally value bound as morality.

I know there are plenty of puritanical Christian ministers and Catholic priests who might preach against sex and then get caught having sex - but that seems like the nonsense and psychological confusion bred of preaching against sex to begin with.
