Yea.. it's unfortunate that some those very accomplished Gurus also do bad deeds on the sly, like Sai Baba fondling kids. The Goodness Gracious Me satires have an element of truth and are very funny. Osho was a truely helpful Guru but he was misunderstood -they saw his 100 Mercedes and couldn't cope with the paradoxical juxtaposition of his vast and contradictory nature, but he's done alot for India and the west, alot I'd say. I think theres a great many good gurus out there, just they've been bad pressed and are hard to find, its difficult to see whose genuine whose fake. Theres some great female teachers though like Amma, Mother Meera.
