However I learned from personal experience and from those of my friends that Bo has serious personal problems with anger, sexual misconduct, and a formidable power trip. He tried to set up a cult where he would be the center of attention, devotion, and obedience; anyone objecting would be abused with his anger and the foulest of language; I know this as he directed this at me in letters. After a sexual scandal the ashram scene fell apart and Bo left the state. I recommend reading http://www.indyweek.com/indyweek/the-two-faces-of-bo-lozoff/Content?oid=1210498 for the Independent Weekly article of 2008.

This challenging and often heart-breaking environment has given Bo a wide perspective on spiritual life, demanding that it be centered on true self-realization and finding that it often calls us into a deeper engagement with the world. We hope you enjoy it! Thanks for helping to build the bridge with iHanuman.

I guess I was one of them; selfish and unaware. Bo’s down to earth wisdom reached a part of me that knew there was more to life than this. I have been reading the newsletters on humankindness.org and have been inspired by the stories and letters from people in the worst situations who have attained enlightenment. Thank you for allowing access to this interview – it is the only time I have heard Bo speak. Bo – you are reaching people who needed help so badly they didn’t even know it; people living soul less lives who look like they have it all but are only grasping at air.

He speaks from such a recognizable place of humanity and practicality, as well as from the wisdom of having touched the transcendent. It’s a powerful combination!

Hanuman has been teaching me for about two years now, and this wonderful Spiritual teacher, (along with his wife and partner Sita), exemplifies the life of service of Hanuman, deeply inspiring my life. He has changed the lives of uncountable thousands of people in and out of prisons all over the world. Jai Sita Ram! Thank you for posting this great interview with Bo Lozoff.

This great interview motivated me to think that I can do more to the inmates than being their physician. I would like to meet Mr. Bo Lozoff in near future. Thank you very much.
