The Rapin' Tibetian Lama

File under: Gurus Doin' Time and Hands Where They Don't Belong

Today we got a tip about the crimes of a faux lama named Michael Lyons. It seems he was a very bad boy when he lived in the U.K:

There is a warrant out for the arrest in the UK of Tibetan Lama, Michael Lyons aka "Dr. Mohan", "Mo", "Mohan Singh", "Mohan Chandra" for rape, in 2003 he was tried for rape, but let go free in England. Now, in 2006 he is hiding in Miami.

Much to the chagin of our tipster, Book Two of "Dr. Mohan's" nefarious ways are being written in Miami:

When I met Michael Lyons in Miami in 2002, he introduced me to Abbot Khenpo Chime Tsering. They were business partners. Khenpo Chime Tsering started the now defunct Pema Tsal meditation center as a front for his illegal activities. Khenpo Chime Tsering ran two meditation centers in New York which were shut down... Khenpo Chime Tsering was extradited out of Nepal for a fake passport business and stole $50,000 from Nora Post and was prosecuted.

Book One includes the standard borderline personality behavior you'd expect from a pathological narcissist posing as a spiritual leader:

Michael Lyons has been sexually abusing women for 15 years. He has an inner circle of women who protect him. He has been known to kidnap women for days on end and rape them so that they are not credible witnesses. In 2003 he was brought up on a rape charge in England. He and his members harass women via phone, the women around him are like his slaves. He uses conditioned fear response, dehumanizing language and scare tactics to confuse his victims. A couple of women believed that before they were raped he drugged them, as he gives his victims something to drink before they are raped. Some women also reported that they were abducted for two or three days at a time so that they can’t make police reports, he slowly makes the victims mentally unstable through cult activity and uses the other members so that the victims are not credible. Michael Lyons tells women that all married women are whores and refers to people as "vampires", "demons" and "suckers". He will tell women who don't want to have sex with him, that they have big egos and so he rapes them. Mohan scares women into believing that his actions are normal... There is a hierarchy with the women around him, who often need to be deprogrammed and treated like cult victims. I have talked to many people about him and they say that they have been threatened with curses, death threats, etc... The idea of [being] a Dakini or "cloud angel" is what Mohan leads these women to believe that [is what] they are... Mohan has set up a bevy of "dakinis" who believe they are doing Buddha's work.

Curses, death threats and dakinis, oh my!

This Mohan makes Tilak look like a choir boy. Put these two together and you've got the makings of a nice little white slavery business.

But for those ladies who don't want to become sperm disposal units for psychotically grandiose maniupulators, steer far away and clear of these two people-eaters.

Update: Color us all Miss Cleo, as our tipster comes up with even more on the Mohan-Tilak connection:

Mohan's harem of ho's, scammers and shop-lifters stayed at Tilak's NYC house. The story in the New Yorker about him gettin' blowed in the back of a car comes courtesy of Mohan's girls who later attacked Tilak for being a energy sucking black magician. The actual reason seems to have been a turf war over a female foot-soldier, Victoria. Mohan wanted a bit of Tilak's action and sent his ho's to Tilak's house but one girl stayed on as "a maid". She found it safer in Tilak's house than out on the mean streets each day conning punters until late at night for Mohan. Mohan fought to get her back even phoning in death-threats to Tilak in the middle of the night ostensibly for psychically attacking him! Mohan's a real crook. Ask around Pune and McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala.
