Shiva’s usual fee for an American university appearance is $40,000 plus a business class round-trip ticket from New Delhi.

She never claimed that she was a swami or a guru. 

Do you know how much is Isha's cut in the deal with L&T on planting? How much of the money from the govt. is funnelled? How about the free land Sadaguru gets? In Amaravati (AP), CBN gave prime real estate for free. Sadaguru also charges a lot of money for his sessions. Isha is involved in controversies - for example, they are accused of encroaching onto forest land in Coimbatore......

Do you know how much is the cut? As of now all you made or unsubstantiated allegations without proof or numbers. Just mental projections and extrapolations.

Infact he challenged if any one proves even one mistake, SG said he will shut down the entire ashram! And in another interview, he said he doesnot get any money and all the books are audited by third party accountants too. And Charity watch has some decent rankings on Isha too. None of the accusers have taken his challenge and prove anything against Isha. Even highcourt sent arrest warrant for the ant-isha website owners when they did not come to the hearing in court... (BTW, I am not a member of Isha, nor a past/present student of them).
