My head spins in my heart breaks over the most recent and most vicious lies being spread about me, and my completely innocent loved ones across the Internet. These vicious lies are being spread by people with extensive mental health and criminal justice histories.
When these people were homeless, I took them in, housed and fed them. I have done one illegal thing in my life… and not for a long time.
Each year I spend half of my income on other people’s healthcare… I have spent my life serving and helping people. What is happening now is deeply sick and wrong… Please don’t let it affect you.


First, a little background on the two jokes found above. The Swami uses ellipses for comedic effect – to let insiders know his game.”I have done one illegal thing in my life…” is followed by “and I have been doing it for 50 years.”

Many know that old joke in the ashram in Portland.
The second joke is: “Each year I spend half of my income on other peoples healthcare…” followed by, “because I’m the one who made them sick.”

Famous Guru
All over the world there are people who quote him or follow him. Here are just a few:


























My favorite hobby was the hereafter test—that’s when you take a girl out in the country on Friday night and say: “Honey, if you’re not here after what I’m here after, then you’re going to be here after I’m gone” (Shoemaker, in Goldenberg, Indiana Daily Student (ids), quoted in [LNI, 2003]).
A little Bio
Michael Shoemaker was born in Kentucky, raised in Indiana, and lived in Boston.
He went to Indiana University. He claims he lettered in football and swimming. He was a heavy drinker, with a violent streak.
He claims he had a nervous breakdown. He claimed he drank at every bar in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. He bragged of his success in bar-room brawls. He claimed to be a drug addict in college.

Drugs and violence, and coercive lovemaking. He claimed he was active in Vietnam war protests.
His drug addiction landed him in a hospital in Indiana. There he attacked not one but two psychiatrists and got placed in a padded cell, he claims.
A college friend introduced him to hatha yoga. He said he began doing six hours a day of practice, and his kundalini awakened.
Shoemaker says this “brought him remarkable wisdom” at age 21.

In 1971, at age 22, Shoemaker went to Manhattan to meet Rudi. Five months later, he returned to Bloomington with some of Rudi’s ex-students. They started an ashram.
They found a method of running a business with free labor. Ashram businesses in and around Bloomington included a bakery, restaurant, and construction company. The residents provided free labor as a service to the guru.
In 1973, Rudrananda died in a plane crash. Shoemaker said Rudi predicted his own death and designated him as his successor. He claims to have a letter from Rudi, which nobody has seen naming him his successor. After that, Shoemaker gained control of Rudi’sashrams.

In 1975, Shoemaker established the Rudi Foundation.
In 1978, Shoemaker took sannyasi vows, including celibacy from Muktananda in India. He adopted the monastic name Swami Chetananda. In 1981, Chetananda founded the Nityananda Institute. He moved from Bloomington to Cambridge, MA. He closed the other ashrams of Rudrananda. Chetananda said in 1981:
In terms of the audience for Eastern spirituality, there is no one like me. I will automatically become the dean of eastern spiritual figures on the East Coast.
By the early ’90s, in Boston, he had a following of around 200. He moved his group to Portland and lived in a 61 bedroom mansion. In 1997, he acquired a beachfront Malibu cottage. In 1998, he got a house in Nepal. In 2019 he sold the mansion in Portland for $8 million and moved to a mansion on the Pacific in Gold Beach. He resides there with his devotees.

Yes, come back, and give a lot of filthy strangers blow jobs to erase your karma. And avoid the great risk of not surrendering your own will to a guy who will use his to get your free labor. A guy who likes to beat and choke women unconscious.
He’s meditating for you in his mansion.
Frank Parlato is an investigative journalist, media strategist, publisher, and legal consultant.





Finally a word from
Watch out for your karma:
All those who follow the path of vamachara know its power and its dangers. Swami has informed you to tread this course without his guidance risks temptation by demons and other deceivers. Swami has been meditating for your continue safety.
There’s only so much he can do when you insist on following the path of pride and disobedience. Frank Parlato is a demon. You are at great risk. Swami is not responsible for what befalls you. He is always ready to forgive. Come back to the community that loves you. Come back to the guru who loves you.
