An American disciple of an Indian guru, Swami Sue White-tailed Deer, has recently published an article on his website that alleges disqualifications of the guru of a rival group. Sources could not verify whether or not Deer is of Native American descent or male or female gender.
All they would say is that clues are to be found in the song 'A Boy Named Sue' by country singer Johnny Cash. According to reports Deer went on a rampage after surfing to a website by a rival sect and finding statements that discredited his own group. He then went into his cell at the monastery and locked himself in for three days, furiously trying to find any scandals on the rival group. He failed to turn up any leads, and so hired a private detective firm outside of London to rummage through trash cans in various villages in India.
After several months had elapsed and his budget had run out, he stopped the investigation, which had failed to bring in anything he could use. Then one morning he ran into a meeting of his fellow Swamis and exclaimed, "I know what we can do! We'll make fun of the guru's name!" One of the group replied, "Uh, Swamiji. Do you think that is really the right strategy''
"Do you have a better idea'' countered Deer.
"Uh, not really. Hey, go for it!"

Hindu Family Feud Turns Violent
July 29, 2002
Atlantic City, NJ
Two local families that live next door to each other started firing shots at each other with hunting rifles yesterday, before police broke up the standoff with tear gas canisters. It seems the dispute began over one of the families (followers of Hare Krishna guru A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami) using the other family's back yard as an outdoor toilet on several occasions.
Apparently the family that owns the property that was used in such a manner are members of a rival sect (followers of the Hare Krishna guru, Narayan Maharaj). When the wife of Narayan follower N. Das complained to the wife of Bhaktivedanta follower B. Das over this practice, she was told by the latter that because of her shudra caste, this was a practice authorized by Hindu scriptures and that she should consider it a special blessing.
Apparently N. Das drives a truck for a waste management company and B. Das works at a local casino as a blackjack dealer, which would make him of the mercantile caste, one notch above N. Das's laborer caste. A neighbor that lives across the street from the two families told reporters, 'That Das guy says he is in waste management, but we all know he really works for the mob. We often see suspicious characters coming and going in expensive cars and carrying violin cases with them. And believe me, they do not play for any orchestra I have ever heard of, if you catch my drift.' He then winked and smirked.

Hare Krishna Guru Sues Over Copyright Infringement
London, U.K.
September 6, 2002
Hare Krishna guru Narayan Maharaj has filed suit against the estate of his arch-rival, the late Sridhar Maharaj. The suit maintains that Sridhar deliberately and willfully stole the content of recent lectures by Narayan several years ago prior to his death. It states that even though Sridhar's lectures predated Narayan's chronologically, it was because Sridhar via his mystical powers (known as siddhis in the Sanskrit language) could foresee what Narayan was going to say in the future and then proceeded to steal his ideas and words verbatim.
Sridhar's followers are outraged at the allegations and plan to file a countersuit in a few days. Narayan Maharaj is nonplussed, however. He told reporters this afternoon, "I know I will be victorious in the end and my case will be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. After all it is I that have been endowed with the shakti of my guru, who was a ray of Vishnu." Vishnu is the maintainer god from the Hindu trinity (Brahma is the creator and Shiva is the destroyer). "That imposter just wanted to pass himself off as the genuine article, but that was just form imitating substance." he added with a jeering sneer and an arch of his eyebrow.
