Sorry, didn't mean to conflate 2 people.
The videos I watched were those by Malkeet Kang, who goes by the name of Mal Singh. He implicated a specific individual, and it's that individual I'm talking about.
The New Age merchant PhD guy has absolutely nothing to do with it. I just used him as an example to say there are problems that arise when khalsa is redefined as "someone who has preserved some aspect of classical Indian arts". It's just a man, and he's been put on a pedestal. Sooner of later, a man wants additional resources, he wants pleasure, i.e. good food, alcohol and sex. So whatever they learned was worthless as they sold out, but that's their business.
As for the accused guy, he too had been elevated because he'd studied Dasam Granth and had some traditional knowledge of classical Sikhism. Same with the "chosen one" last Sikh warrior, etc. All of these guys were celebrated because of something they learned rather than their fundamental values. It will keep happening. People are going to sell out because it's a bad organisational setup and it's fundamentally upside down. But that's very much a lesser evil compared with what's alleged in the present case. Ruining somone's mind and entire life through childhood sexual abuse, if that's what actually happened - is in an entirely different ballpark.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm done with the whole religions/Sikhism thing, and have nothing to do with anything. I wish you well, hope you can sort it out or at least prevent a recurrence, but even if you can't, we don't have power over anything really but our own actions.
