What is disputed about this? It seem spretty factual and straightforward to me. -- Zoe

above moved from wikipedia:votes for NPOV. It's an old comment, but I couldn't be sure that it had been fixed, since I lack the relevant knowledge. Feel free to remove the header if you think it's a resolved issue. Martin 01:14, 12 May 2003
What was his citizenship? 13:13, 9 June 2013 User:Oliver Puertogallera
He was not a guru. He taught people about many different spiritual paths and then encouraged people to follow the one that was best for them. That is quite unlike what a guru does.
Although deeply meditative, he was also far more intellectual than most people who get a guru label. He was much more curious, and teaching curiosity and leading people to curiosity; rather than ever saying "this is how it is", like most "gurus". It might be more accurate to call Khan a mystic rather than a guru, as he preferred to live in, and explore, the mystery, much like mysticism is also about living, or at least aiming to live, in the mystery. 75.80.114.227 ( talk) 07:07, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
Additionally, he was accused by several female followers of having lured them into sexual liaisons under the guise that it would be good for their spiritual growth. This has been largely suppressed by his followers but remains a fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.195.52.191 ( talk) 20:38, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
I'm not sure why anyone doubts the notability of this person. He was one of the major figures of the New Age in Europe and the US, followed by thousands of people. Pretty notable in my view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SedgwickMJR ( talk • contribs) 14:35, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
