..the
highest soul to incarnate on earth..." He told a few disciples
to infiltrate and destroy Microsoft Corporation (one devotee
actually landed a job at the software giant as a recruiter). He
told disciples that he was ordaining them as Buddhist monks.
He did not mention, however, that he was having unprotected sex
with a substantial number of them under the guise of advancing
their souls.
In 1991, articles on Rama appeared in New York's Newsday,
"The Yuppie Guru", 7/30/91; The L.A. Weekly, "Rama Rerun", 11/29/91;
and in several issues of the Consultants' & Contractors' Newsletter
(CCN). I read in CCN (July/August, 1991 issue) how Rama's followers
had become known in the computer industry as the "California Raisins."
The Raisins apparently had been causing companies, recruiters,
and agencies in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut to lose
a substantial amount of time and money. In the same issue, I read:
"...we think it only fair to put cult members on notice that
knowledge of their activities is widespread...local area recruiters
are now circulating a list of those known to be cult members,
which is regularly updated as new names are added...In other words,
local recruiters, typically thought of as competing with one another,
are acting in unison when it comes to fighting the onslaught of this
group.
