Jaggi specifically targets wealthy women, coercing them into separating from their husbands under the guise of spiritual enlightenment. He has established a system called Ma Vairagini, where women are initiated into performing rituals—rituals that come at an exorbitant price of $60,000 to $70,000.
These women, known as the Red Saree Women, are required to appear before him dressed in red as part of their so-called initiation which is nothing but sexual exploitation disguised as a sacred ritual.
He tells them, “I am Shiva. I am the reincarnation of Shiva. You are Shakti. Consider me your husband and leave your worldly attachments.” Under this illusion, he convinces them that whatever belongs to them—money, assets, property—rightfully belongs to him as their Ardhangī (spiritual counterpart).
This is how he has amassed an unbelievable amount of wealth, manipulating devotion into financial exploitation. Many wealthy women, from Radhika* to Susan*, have had their money funneled into his daughter’s accounts. He has made millions through this exploitation. One of these women was the wife of a well-known golf player. Jaggi orchestrated their divorce and obtained approximately $360 million from her.
Jaggi has also made deeply disturbing statements, including claiming that Lord Krishna had an affair with his own mother. His manipulations reveal a criminal mindset. He is a predator hiding behind spirituality.
Several so-called Ma Vairaginis have fled his ashram, including two African women, Maria* and Marisol*, who ran back to the US. Manis* also ran away. She is in Lebanon. They are all rich women. All of them have separated from their husbands. They are not even supposed to even meet. Ritika* and Rohan* are one more example. Most of them don’t have children. Whatever they have they give it all to Jaggi. He makes them invest in his housing policy in the ashram and other things. All their properties will go to Isha Foundation. They have recounted how Jaggi told them,“I am your husband now. Since you have taken this red sari, you must consider me as such. Any emotions you had for your husband should now be directed toward me.” Masturbation is part of the group rituals. He instructs them to masturbate, wipe themselves with a red cloth, and offer it at the Linga Bhairavi Temple.
Disgusted, many of them ran away and later underwent a process of deculting to free themselves from his influence. They felt deeply ashamed upon realizing the full extent of his exploitation.
Jaggi has also drawn Muslim women, especially exceptionally beautiful Lebanese, into his fold, who function as his slaves. Some of them have become Devi Mas. There is a Ma Laila who has even been authorized to perform poojas.
The pattern is clear: he isolates, manipulates, and exploits. It is time for the truth about Jaggi Vasudev to be exposed.
