So now the government is promoting sleazy cults

With the support and cooperation of the Parliamentary Secretary for Sport, Chris Agius, a group of “athletes” from the Sri Chinmoy cult is touring Maltese schools.

Sri Chinmoywas a sleazy cult leader who used his position – like so many cult leaders before, during and since – to exploit women and girls for sex. He died aged 76 in New York in 2007.

It isn’t possible to embed links from Forbes, but in the comments thread below, you’ll find a link I have posted to an article you should read to find out what we’re talking about here.

He also demonstrated his unearthly powers by lifting improbable weights – only to have it revealed that he used a mechanical device to bolster those magical powers.

I suppose anything is possible in a culture which celebrates Frenc tal-Gharb and Angelik Caruana, though the first appears to have been a friend of Dorothy and the second patently more interested in food than sex.

Remind you of anything? This is a screenshot from Sri Chinmoy’s official website.
