he's just another charasmatic leader who abuses his power over people.

I've studied some yoga. There are some worthy people. BKS (Light on Yoga) Iyengar is a very serious teacher. Krishnamurti was very interesting. For
every one of them, there are the rogues, like Rajnesh, Gurumai, Baba, and the list goes on.
You've put your finger on it when you said they are 'charasmatic leaders' who abuse power. They seem interested in creating their own 'cult of
personality'. Guru's are the new tyrants, since you can't directly boss people around anymore - so that leaves the "I'm only trying to help
you" routine. The trick is getting others to go along with it.
