The Full Moon Comment On This Article Below. Return to the article Nandita Shankar comments : Dear Sandhya, Your expressions are certainly very touching, your open endedness profound. As a mother of two teenage daughters,i can say that i salute your courage, your wisdom and your serenity at this point. At an ethereal level, yes ,you are fit to be amongst the stars and the moon. From a social level, every one must take some responsibility for their actions. It is despicable for a Guru to act this way, and repentence is the only course,for him. For your part, sharing this information with any older woman would in hindsight have prevented any such or worse abuses to others, and made you feel much better,sooner. Aside from all this, your whole approach to the matter , has atleast allowed each reader to think beyond the usual conclusions. Thank you! I have met many Gurus in my life, and I can say that such behaviour is the exception rather than the rule. May God bless you ! nandita shankar,MD ritimuna@aol.com Praveena Chinthaluri comments : Dear Sandhya, Your so called guru is a pedophile and I am quite certain that he tried kissing and feeling up a lot of young girls your age. It isn't your fault, you were young and naive. Pedophiles prey on young women and men who are vulnerable and innocent. Pedophiles guise as loving teachers, uncles, aunts, neighbors etc. The fact that you have forgiven him makes it easier for you to move on in your life. Guru K comments : You have indeed had some bad experiences, let it be a cheating boy friend or a pedophile guru, I urge you to try your best to have a +ve attitude towards the opposite sex, NOT a naive one, as you have seen the dark side b4. I really hope you believe in destiny and the fact that things dont happen randomly. Live is givin us signals and teaching us lessons every moment on every turn. Its up to us to heed and learn
