(Or, how an “angel healer/bullshitter” scored a an easy article placement)

Tehelka does not discriminate between the truth and the fluff. There’s no other reason for their recent Personal Histories article ‘We Held On To His Life By A Thin Silken Thread Woven With Love’, written by Mani Goel.

To summarize Mani’s job - she makes money off convincing people they need angels, spirits and a lot of workshops involving angels and spirits.

To summarize the article, Mani Goel’s dad is about to die. Mani does mumbo-jumbo; she hysterically starts screaming inside in an ICU,chanting mantras, invoked everyone on the God Wikipedia, including Buddha!.

Doctors tell her to shut up. She does the insane act more.

God apparently buys screaming - her dad lives.

She’s convinced her screaming saved her father.

I’ve wasted 2 minutes of my time.

I Facebook stalk her - she’s promoting her book, posting photos of fairy sparkles and shit, copying random feel good quotes pasted on badly designed wallpapers with hearts, selling sessions an paraphernalia. I leave a “so much bullshit” on a clipping of the Tehelka article that she’s posted with 12 Likes.
