Multi-millionaire "Bikram Yoga" founder Bikram Choudhury accused of sexual assault

ABC Entertainment News|ABC Business News

  

Bikram is a business not a yoga.

The pioneer of "hot yoga" [his first customer being Pres. Richard Nixon] Mr. Bikram Choudhury is now under fire himself, defending his yoga empire against lawsuits brought by women claiming sexual misconduct.

 

In the last year, five women have filed civil lawsuits against Bikram, one of the richest, most successful yoga gurus in the world. All five of them accuse Bikram of sexually assaulting them. Four of the women accuse him of rape.

“He’s a sick man,” plaintiff Sarah Baughn told ABC News' "Nightline" correspondent David Wright. “I hope he gets some help.” 

 

Don't stare at Sofia Vergara

Baughn was the first alleged victim to speak up, recently telling her story to Vanity Fair magazine. Her appearance on "Nightline" along with two other women pursuing lawsuits against Bikram and his Yoga College of India in Los Angeles is the first time the alleged victims have detailed their claims on camera. 

 

Baughn, a former yoga champion, told "Nightline" she met Bikram in 2005 when she attended his teacher training course. The grueling nine-week course, which costs thousands of dollars, is led by Bikram and is the only way to become a Bikram Yoga teacher.

Baughn, 20 at the time, said Bikram took an immediate interest in her.

“He told me there was a connection between the two of us that he had never felt before,” Baughn said, adding he claimed to have known her in a past life. More

In court, the beautiful yakshini (ogress) Miranda Barbour, 19, is tired of killing (AP).

"KILL AGAIN" (Slayer): "Lurking in a dismal fog/ Hungry for your blood/ Seeking harmless victims/ Satisfy my need.// Schizophrenic lunatic/ Uncontrolled desire/ Rape and ravage lady fair/ Pledged to die// [CHORUS:] No apparent motive/ Kill and kill again/ Survive my brutal thrashing/ I'll hunt you till the end/ My life's a constant battle/ The rage of many men/ Homicidal maniac!// Trapped in mortal solitude/ Lift the gleaming blade/ Slice the flesh to shreds/ Watch the blood flow free// Hatred growing stronger/ None survive my wrath/ Suffer from the throbbing pain/ Yield your life to me.../ Chorus// Unrelenting need to kill/ Death upon you now/ Anxiously awaiting/ Next in line!"

 

 

Teen Killing Spree: less than 100 victims

Why? Miranda Barbour was molested since the age of 4 by her stepfather. Thanks, "dad."

 

Admittedly, maybe I got carried away.

SUNBURY - A Pennsylvania teen charged along with her newlywed husband with killing a man they met through Craigslist admitted to more slayings.

In a jailhouse interview with a newspaper, she said she has killed less than [100] other people across the country [and remembers where 22 of the bodies are buried]. Police claim they are investigating.

 

In an interview with The Daily Item in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, 19-year-old Miranda Dean now Mrs. Elytte Barbour [who says she began killing at age 13 as part of a Satanic cult] said she wants to plead guilty to killing Troy LaFerrara in November.

She also said in the interview she has killed at least 22 other people from Alaska to North Carolina in the last six years as part of her involvement in a Satanic cult.

• Francis Scarcella (The Daily Item): "Barbour Body Count at 22?"

"I feel it is time to get all of this out. I don't care if people believe me. I just want to get it out," Barbour told the newspaper for a story published Saturday night. More

What is a yakkha? In some lists (e.g., PvA. 45, 55) they range immediately above ghosts (petas); in fact, some of the happier ghosts are called yakkhas. Elsewhere (e.g., A.ii.38) they rank, in progressive order, between humans (manussā) and low ranking messenger-angels or fairies (gandhabbā). They are of many different kinds: spirits, ogres, dryads, ghosts, spooks. In the early records yakkha, like nāgā, as an appellative, was anything but depreciative. Thus, not only is Sakka, King of the Devas, referred to as a yakkha (M.i.252; J.iv.4; DA.i.264), but even the Buddha is spoken of as one in poetic diction (M.i.386). Many gods (devas), such as Kakudha, are so addressed (S.i.54). More

Yakshinis (Sanskrit याक्षिणि, Pali yakkhini) are mythical beings in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain mythology.

 

A yakshini is the female counterpart of the male yakkha/yaksha (ogre, demon, monster). They both attend on Kubera, the Hindu god of wealth, who rules in the mythical Himalayan kingdom of Alaka [Buddhist Alavaka/Alavi?] They look after treasure hidden in the Earth and resemble fairies. Yakshinis are often depicted as beautiful and voluptuous, with wide hips, narrow waists, broad shoulders, and exaggerated, spherical breasts.

 

In the Uddamareshvara Tantra, 36 yakshinis are described, including their mantras and ritual prescriptions. A similar list of yakshas and yakshinis is given in the Tantraraja Tantra, where it says that these beings are givers of whatever is desired. Although they are usually benevolent, there are also yakshinis with malevolent characteristics in Indian folklore.

 

The list of 36 yakshinis given in the Uddamareshvara Tantra runs as follows:

1. Vichitra (The Strange One)
2. Vibhrama (The Amorous One)
3. Hamsi (Swan)
4. Bhishani (The Terrifying)
5. Janaranjika (The People Entertainer)
6. Vishala (The Large Eyed)
7. Madhana (Lustful)... More

1 in 4 Americans don't know Earth revolves around Sun

(NEWSER) To put the brightest possible spin on this story is to say that three-quarters of Americans are fully aware that the Earth revolves around the sun. The downside, of course, is that means 1 in 4 are in the dark about what Discovery calls "probably the most basic question in science." The National Science Foundation asked that question and nine others of 2,200 Americans, with the average score on the quiz coming in at 6.5, reports Phys.org. Some other results noted by NPR: 

• 39% answered correctly that "the universe began with a huge explosion."
• Fewer than half -- 48% -- agreed that "human beings...developed from earlier species of animals." More

"Super Miranda" murderous alter-ego

How many has she killed? Real-life "Dexter" confesses to murdering close to 100 "bad people" across the US while possessed by her Satanic alter-ego "Super Miranda."

• Miranda Barbour made the sensational claim in a newspaper interview over the weekend that she is a prolific female serial killer.

• 

  Regular mild-mannered Miranda

  The 19-year-old said that she stopped counting her victims after the 22nd victim.
• She told the reporter from jail during her interview that she could have killed dozens more.
• When pushed she said she had killed "less than 100" possessed by her Satanic alter-ego "Super Miranda."
• She is currently charged with the murder of [bad man] Troy LaFerrara, 42, in November, whom she met with her new husband, Elytte Barbour, using Craigslist.
• The teen mother has a son by a man who is now deceased, and his death is now part of the investigation.
• She claims she killed La Ferrara with a knife that has a notch on it for every victim.



Can I go now? This sucks.

• Police in Pennsylvania told The Daily Item that they're working with investigators from other states and the FBI to probe possible connections to unsolved murders throughout the U.S.
• A law enforcement source close to the investigation told CNN Barbour's new claims could be "the real deal." "It's conceivable," the source said.
• "Super Miranda" has been compared to a "real life Dexter" -- after saying she only killed people who had done bad things.

Mother Miranda with her son

The Satan worshiping Pennsylvania teenager dubbed the "Craigslist Killer" and "the real life Dexter," who confessed to more than 22 murders in a sensational newspaper interview over the weekend, states that she could have killed dozens more.

When pushed on the total number of victims she claims to have killed, Miranda Barbour, 19, blurted out a staggering figure of, "less than 100."

Explaining that she adopted a murderous alter ego she dubbed "Super Miranda" when she killed, Barbour said that she kept a favorite knife that had notches on it -- one for each of her victims. More

If I were a beautiful and fierce yakshini, might I get angry and go on a Kali-esque (protective) killing spree? Supernatural powers are a dangerous thing without enlightenment and its full complement of virtue rooted in liberating wisdom and compassion.
