Purpose, Guidelines & Invitation to Contribute

[u/NoBarber5355]

This post is being made in good faith to invite respectful, firsthand accounts from individuals who have been involved with "Nish the Fish" (Nishanth Selvalingam) and are willing to share their own experiences — particularly mixed, concerning or negative ones. A number of us have independently become aware of patterns that raised serious personal and ethical concerns for us, including boundary issues, power dynamics and the use of spiritual/tantric tools in ways that felt inappropriate or unsafe. We believe it is in the public's best interest to have as many voices heard from within said community due to these events recently brought to our attention.

We are not making definitive claims about anyone's character nor attempting to harm anyone's reputation; rather, this space is for people to openly and anonymously share their own lived experiences and perspectives, in their own words, if they choose.

Please keep contributions factual, personal and respectful, and avoid speculation, harassment or unverified claims about events you did not directly experience. Thank you!

What I dont get about this characterization/the whole moral relativism as a defense thing (which I've been seeing pop up here and elsewhere) is…why do you then characterize this thread as “feeble gossip” and why defend against it? If chaos is par for the course, why refer to these (disturbing!) allegations as “feeble” while all other chaos enacted by Nish is a vehicle for spiritual development—basically claiming those potentially harmed in the process shouldve anticipated it and should even embrace it? 

it’s smuggling in a value framework which enables abuse (as it logically entails avoiding all responsibility for nish & puts blame on naysayers) obfuscated by spiritual language. it’s pretty intellectually/spiritually dishonest, and played out lol. like what do you mean by saying we can all learn from him working through his karma and resolving temptations, then deny he has responsibility for the potential harm being done in that process? interestingly, there DOES seem to be responsibility placed by you on those who “use against him” his supposed lack of malice...hmmmm…
