Rigmor Robert (Anti Cult Expert) Endorses Self-Proclaimed Prophet
Rigmor Robert (Rigmor Robèrt) is a doctor, author, feminist, lecturer and psychotherapist residing in Sweden. Rigmore Robert is well known in Sweden for exposing the Jehovah’s Witnesses as a cult and exposing a Pentecostal Church in Knutby as a dangerous faith group. Rigmor Robèrt wrote the preface to Conny Larsson’s Anti-Sathya-Sai-Baba book entitled “Behind The Mask Of The Clown” and said (in part):

“But can we not leave them in peace, these gurus and apostolic preachers?… Unfortunately, no. What is needed here is to take a stand and speak out clearly, as Conny has done. One cannot disclaim responsibility for what goes on in closed religious groups by referring to freedom of the will or laws on religious liberty. We ‘out here’ must take a stand, because manipulative groups are dangerous. Those who believe themselves to be close to God and wish to remain close to their leaders can become ruthless towards others.”

Rigmor Robert’s comments about cults, cult leaders, gurus and apostolic preachers are rather enigmatic considering that she publicly endorsed, promoted and solicited the integrity and crediblity of Conny Larsson, who happens to be a cult-like leader and guru who claims he is a psychic trance medium for the spirit of Vyasa.

Maharshi Vyasa (who is believed to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu) is considered an immortal sage who wrote the sacred texts to the Vedas, the Brahma Sutras, the Mahabharata, the Eighteen Puranas, the Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam. For Conny Larsson to claim that he is channeling the spirit of Vyasa, he is presenting himself as a self-proclaimed prophet, guru and cult-leader whose words carry the authority of God and are to be considered on par with divinely inspired scriptures that are revered by hundreds of millions of Hindus around the globe!

However, Conny Larsson not only claims he is trance medium for the spirit of Vyasa, he also claims to be a spirit channeler, a pet psychic, a meditation guru, a yoga guru, a Vedic mantra guru, a devotee of Shankaracharya Swami Brahmananda Saraswati and a psychic therapist who can diagnose disease and illness by using a crystal pendulum (Ref)! Conny Larsson also runs the Vedic Master Website and publicly solicits himself with other psychics, mediums, spirit channelers and New Age practitioners (Ref).

It is nothing less than shameful and hypocritical that Rigmor Robert (a staunch anti-cult and anti-guru advocate) wrote the preface to Conny Larsson’s Anti-Sai-Baba book and vouched for his integrity and crediblity although he is a self-professed prophet, an alleged “internationally renown” psychic trance medium and a New Age guru.

It would appear that Rigmore Robert was conned by Conny Larsson into writing the preface to his book. Conny Larsson also conned the Indian rationalist, skeptic and atheist Basava Premanand into publishing his Anti-Sai-Baba book in English. Basava Premanand happens to believe that psychics like Conny Larsson are frauds, liars and cheats and is willing to pay anyone who can demonstrate alleged psychic abilities 100,000 Rs (Ref).
