Not sure how we boys all missed this one about "Shishy". @Frank Cannon ?


Pardon me, but I just have to ask the obligatory question....

"Where were these ashram guru handmaidens when we were younger?"

OK now I feel better....... TM

Royal commission into Mangrove Mountain Ashram hears that its second-in-command had sex with young boy and later had child with him

The “handmaiden” of a sexually abusive yoga master had sex with a 14-year-old boy only because her guru ordered her to, an inquiry has heard.

The woman, known as Shishy, was the handmaiden, sexual partner and second-in-charge of Swami Akhandananda at the Satyananda Yoga Ashram on NSW’s Central Coast during the 1970s and 1980s.

Shishy told the child abuse royal commission on Friday that starting a sexual relationship with the boy, codenamed APQ, when she was 25 was “the most shameful thing in my life”.

She said she was instructed by Akhandananda to start initiating the boy the same way the guru had been having sex with under-age girls on the ashram.

“It’s one of the things I really resent Akhandananda for,” Shishy said.

However, the commission heard Shishy continued a sexual relationship with the boy after she left the ashram in 1985.
