Swami Shyam

Self-styled "swami" Shyam Srivasta leads a spiritual group called the International Meditation Institute or, more informally, Shyamspace. He has been accused of having sexual relationships with many of his female followers including underage girls. Since the allegations of impropriety surfaced, the remaining members of the group, most of whom live at his ashram in India, have sharply limited their contacts with family members and the outside world. In the past, Mr. Srivastava has claimed that he has developed a scientific method for achieving health and happiness, however critics say the group simply practises a variety of Hindu rituals and spiritual techniques.
