Needless to say, Share International, Benjamin Creme, and Maitreya have been getting a lot of my attention especially since I learned that not only are they claiming that the "Norway Spiral" was their long awaited "Blue Star Sign", but also because they have just announced that Maitreya finally took part in his first interview to the world on a major American television network.
Despite my best efforts, I can't seem to turn up any additional information on possible candidates who may have given "the" interview. In case you're wondering, I've decided to focus as much time and energy as I can (not by my power, but by His) to this subject here in this space because I feel strongly that out of all the individuals who could fulfill end times Bible prophecy and step into the infamous role of the Antichrist it's Maitreya who seems to fit the description better than the rest.
If that's true, and my/our assessment of him is accurate, then it behooves us to warn as many people as possible about the real dangers he presents before it's too late for us and for them.
If you want evidence of a sinister spiritual component to all of this than look no further than Maitreya's biography. That's right! The Holy Spirit actually helped me track down a detailed (and blasphemous) biography on the man.
That last part is an important one. Remember that despite how he's been promoted to the world for the last several decades, Creme is insistent that he is a "regular guy" like the rest of us and that's why he made this TV appearance the other day under an assumed alias -- they want the world to accept the "message" first, not the "man" delivering the message. Please keep that in mind as you continue reading this because if this is legit, then it would fit perfectly with such an approach.
I find many disturbing statements in this biography. This man and his people claim that he is the "World Teacher" and the "Return of Christ" (amongst other religious names), and for that reason I wholeheartedly believe we all need to know as much as possible about him. Why? Not only because I'm trying to put Ephesians 5:11 and Matthew 10:16 to work here, but mainly because it is my belief that the fraud of all frauds is about to begin.
So, here's that biography I found for this False Christ. A detailed and very disturbing biography about him, which was been written by one of his own devotees. I'll provide the link to the entire biography, but I'll pull some incredible excerpts with highlighted portions that I feel are prophetically relevant based on the things we read about the coming Antichrist in the pages of the Holy Bible. Please let me know if you make the same connections that I do because some of them are absolutely stunning. Keep in mind that this "Biography" was apparently written by this devotee
HOW HE BECAME "MAITREYA" [Source]
> He was born in Tehran, Iran on November 8, 1944
> All of his grandfathers were religious leaders. Not only were they the religious guides of the area, but their power exceeded their religious authority. Maitreya’s grandfather had to be consulted and his permission was essential before any governmental official could enter his territory.
> His parents were the first generation in the family to leave that village and come to larger cities such as Tehran. His father started as a teacher. Then after passing an entrance examination and studying in law school, he became a judge. Right after Maitreya’s birth, however, he took advantage of an offer by the government, received an early retirement, and started his law practice as a lawyer. It was then that he became more prosperous. Maitreya was born the seventh child.
> He was given the name Mohammed by his parents (Muslims are expecting the name of the Mehdi to be Mohammed!).
> Another interesting aspect were the dreams Maitreya’s mother had when she was pregnant with him in her womb. One of her dreams was that: They were preparing to eat dinner. She said to Maitreya’s father, "But Prophet Mohammed has not come to dinner with us yet." His father answered, "Do not worry, he will be here soon!" Another dream was that she saw herself sitting on a lion. The lion was rising from the horizon, like the sun. A voice told her, "The lion you are riding is your child." Maitreya’s mother later said, when she was in America visiting her son, that the landscape in that dream looked like New Mexico.
> He had reached a point where he said, "If you show me God, then I will accept Him. If you can’t show me, then I can’t believe in something that I cannot see."
> When he read about evolution, he felt, "Ah, that makes sense. There were dinosaurs, then there were monkeys, and then there were humans. They evolved from each other and eventually it came to what I am." So it made more sense than religion.
> He just rejected God completely. He became an atheist, you can say, and he was comfortable with it. He didn’t think too much about these things any more. He was just a student, going to school, doing his homework, getting his grades, and trying to please his parents, if possible.
> This trend continued until Maitreya entered college and finished his degree, a BS in Business Administration. In college he also became involved in gymnastics. After college he had two years of military training. These all went relatively comfortably and smoothly. It was one year after he finished the army that all preparations were completed for Maitreya to go to the United States for further education. He had finished his college education and had his Bachelor’s Degree. He came to the United States to get his Master’s and Doctorate Degrees. He thought he was just here to get his education and go back. But when he came to the U.S., amazingly, he started being pushed and pulled in directions he wasn’t intending to go. It was then that the greatest chapter of his life started to unfold. With a Mighty Hand, he was guided to his final realization and Revelation of God’s Plan.
> He was in school in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but he lost his interest in pursuing education. He was still considering finishing his degree. He wanted to have more time to think about these new developments than study.
> Later on, when they came to know each other better, Maitreya went to his room and Satish showed him a pamphlet that was about the activities of Ananda Marga. He explained some of the aspects of that organization and he showed Maitreya their sign. When Maitreya saw the swastika in the sign, he asked him if he was a Nazi. Satish then explained to him that the swastika is not what Hitler used it for, but it is a very ancient sign symbolizing higher consciousness. Satish also told him some of their philosophy, but Maitreya was really interested in meditation at that time. It seemed anyone he met who meditated was happy and full of energy. He wanted to learn this art that made these people so joyful!
> That spring he finished his MBA and was accepted for continuing his doctorate in business in three universities. He chose to go to Mississippi State University because they accepted him unconditionally. The other universities were in Pennsylvania: Penn State and Temple University. If he had stayed in that state, he would have been almost in the same situation as before.
> That year, there was a weeklong Ananda Marga retreat in Kansas. It is a custom for the people in that organization to ask for a Sanskrit spiritual name. Maitreya was in Ananda Marga probably two years by then, and he had never felt he needed a spiritual name. He never had a desire for one, but in the retreat he decided to ask for a name from his Achareya.
Of course, most of the people who asked for a spiritual name received it right away. They had the names of Ishvara, Krishna, or Shivamurtti, and all those big names. That retreat was finished and he went home. Maitreya waited for a month, two months, but the name was not coming.
> Maitreya had become so inspired at that retreat that he decided also to go to a training center in Denver and become a wholetimer himself. It just seemed that more and more he was becoming attracted to the spiritual world rather than the external world.
> So Maitreya went early in the morning Saturday (interesting it was Sabbath!) just as he woke up. He rushed to Rudranath’s room and said, "What is my name? Are you going to give me my name or what?" Rudranath said, "OK, your name is Maitreya." Maitreya couldn’t even pronounce it correctly, so Rudranath wrote it down for him. Maitreya asked, "What does that mean? What does Maitreya mean?" He said, "It means The Compassionate One." Maitreya said, "OK" and he walked out, saying to himself, "OK, my name is Maitreya, that is my spiritual name."
> Actually the next week after that, Maitreya had to go to Memphis, Tennessee. He had to do a couple of things there.
> A few weeks later, Maitreya received a letter from the other teacher and he gave him the name Vigi Kumar. Vigi means, "youthful." Kumar means, "prince." So Vigi Kumar means, "the young prince." Maitreya said, "Wow, that looks better [laughter]. I’m going to use the name Vigi Kumar instead of Maitreya." So he was using both names and telling the people that he liked Vigi Kumar better, but without any exception all told him that he should accept Maitreya over Vigi Kumar, because being compassionate is a greater virtue than thinking you are a young prince.
> Ananda Marga had their headquarters in Denver, Colorado. They had a business called Golden Lotus. They used to make shampoo and other products. It was a very wonderful shampoo, it might still be on the market. They were having problems with their business so they were looking for someone, a business major, to come and study their business and suggest some recommendations. Since Maitreya couldn’t take the two courses he needed that summer, he had almost the whole second part of the summer doing nothing. So Maitreya wrote them saying, "I am a business major, do you want me to come and help you out with this problem?" He received a call, "Yes, come. You can come here and stay with us and do the things we need to be done." Maitreya went to Denver, and it was decided that he should study the company and set up a cost-accounting system, some paper flows, and makes a report of its situation in general.
> So Maitreya left and went to Mississippi and went to his P.O. box. He found, after two months of being away, only one letter in his box and it was from the Dean of the business school, "Come and see me as soon as you can." The next morning he went there and said, "Well, here I am." The Dean said, "We have a scholarship for you. You are going to receive $250 a month. The only thing you have to do is to work with one of the professors ten hours a week. Also, you don’t have to pay any tuition. Your tuition is waived." So he stayed that Fall. This was the year 1976. Maitreya had only two courses and this teacher wanted him to go and study the market trends in the stock market. He wanted to be on top of the stock market trends, etc. So the only thing Maitreya had to do was spend probably half an hour a day just to see what the trend was, especially in the Dow Jones.
> Whenever he would get bored and had nothing to do, he would go to the spiritual section of the library and look at different books, on Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, etc. On one of these days he was flipping through a Buddhist book, and suddenly he came across the name Maitreya. He started reading it and in the middle of the book he found that the name of the Buddha to come is Maitreya. For the first time he found the name of Maitreya in a book about Buddhism. It was very interesting, but he did not believe in prophecies then, so he just became a little more pleased with his name and understood that the name is mostly related to Buddhism.
> Then some other time he went and flipped through another book and suddenly came across this, that Maitreya probably came from Mithra, from Persia, which was one of the Gods of the Zoroastrian religion. He was supposed also to come, to return, and unify the world and all that. He said, "Oh great. It is also even related to the same country, to the nation where I was born." He still had the national feeling, "Wow, that relates to where I was born. Oh, great!"
> Now he started reaching out, studying about other religions, but not the Bible. He hadn’t touched the Bible yet. He had heard about it. They had talked about it in that church, but he didn’t know what they were talking about. He knew there were some things coming from the Bible, but He didn’t know really where in the Bible they were coming from.
> There was a Bible in front of him. He picked it up, flipped it open, and started reading it, "Genesis 1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth," and on and on. That is evolution, isn’t it? Just right there Maitreya realized that it is the same thing as evolution! He was amazed at how the explanation of the creation corresponded to the evolutionary process. Right there He realized that each day of creation was referring to one period of the evolutionary process. It was the first time in his life that he had read the Old Testament. He just could not stop reading it.
> So he borrowed the book [laughter]. He went to his room and started reading the Bible. Maitreya read, and read, and read, and read, and read. Really, the two courses, the students, the teacher, and the scholarship were out of the window. Now it was Bible time. He was reading it and reading it, the Old Testament, and then the New Testament. Of course, he bought his own Bible, and he returned that Bible to the church where he had borrowed it [laughter]. He said, "Thank you very much. It was good to have it for a couple of days." Actually, he still has the Bible he bought back then. He started reading the Bible, making notes, and seeing this and that. That was it. He was totally engaged. Then Maitreya realized, "If the Bible is like that, I’d better start reading the Koran too."
> All these things were extremely interesting, to read them, to see. There was always this feeling that there should be a relationship. There were a couple of Baha’is from Iran on the campus, so he also started talking to the Baha’is and getting interested in them, a little bit, not much. He already knew about Ananda Marga. And he was also talking to the Mormons and many groups who would come to the campus to talk to the students. There was something strongly impressed on him, that there should be a thread between all these beliefs. It was the first time in his life that he was so attracted to these books. He just could not believe that there was any difference between these Revelations. If there is One God, why so many Revelations? He could not grasp the exact relationship then but he intuitively knew that there should be some relationship. He found himself helplessly reading these books and spending his time going through them again and again, as he was finding so much truth in them and their relationships with the teachings of Ananda Marga.
> He was sitting in his class and the professor was talking about management, which in organization is represented as a triangle upward. The teacher was talking about the president, the vice-presidents, department heads, etc, the triangle upward. "Oh, the triangle upward means the hierarchy, the hierarchy in the organization." So the triangle upward in the sign of Solomon maybe has the same meaning! Then what would the triangle downward mean in that symbol? Maitreya was out of class, he was in the sign of Solomon and the Jewish symbol. So he was out of the study. The professor was talking about management, and Maitreya was thinking about God and His relationship with this. He was no longer there. He didn’t belong to those classes any more. This extremely powerful consciousness was being impressed on him.
> Now Maitreya was familiar with the Far East Philosophies, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, a little of Baha’i, and Ananda Marga. That was it. But he was much more interested to read books about spirituality, the Bible, and anything related, and go to the churches and talk to the priests. That he also started doing, going to the churches in Mississippi and talking about God the way he understood Him. After awhile they would say, "Oh." They were beginning to get scared, kind of, the way the truth he was presenting to them was so striking that they couldn’t handle it.
> It was at the end of February that he felt really tired and frustrated about all the things that were happening. So he decided to go to Chicago and visit his cousin. He planned to stay with them for a week. He was thinking that he was going to forget all about everything and would clear his mind of all these things, and then he would go back to Mississippi and put all his effort in getting ready for taking the comprehensive examination again.
> Maitreya took his car and started driving toward Chicago. Mississippi to Chicago is almost like a straight-line north, almost, not completely. So he went and arrived at their house around three days later. They sat around and talked. They renewed their friendship and things like that. A few hours later, they asked him, "What do you want to do tomorrow?" They were both supposed to go to work. But his wife had off the next day. The rest of the week they both had to go to work. She said, "I have off tomorrow, what do you want to do? How about going to see the Baha’i Temple?" Maitreya said, "OK, sure, that would be fine." Maitreya had read a little about the Baha’i Faith but he had never seen a Baha’i Temple.
> So they went there and walked up the steps, and oh, this beautiful white Temple was there. And there is a swastika, the Star of David (Judaism), the cross (Christianity), the moon and star (Islam), and the Baha’i symbol carved there on the temple. The moment Maitreya saw all these signs on the wall, a flash of realization occurred. He suddenly realized their relationships. His mind was filled with the excitement of this realization. It was impressed on him, all the symbols. That was where the whole Greatest Sign started to form.
> He started putting the signs that were on the temple and the sign of Ananda Marga on a sheet of paper. He put the swastika at the top, then the sign of Solomon, Christianity, Islam, and Baha’i, from top to bottom. "There is something there, there is some relationship. There is a thread between them." As he was doing this, then he added Ananda Marga, the sixth seal. So he had six of them now. He knew that God’s number is 7, so he put another swastika at the very bottom. Now if the first and last Swastika would come together! As his best topic in high school was geometry, Maitreya knew that every circle could be divided six times by its radius. So he made a circle and divided it by its sixth radius and put each sign around. It started to evolve more and more toward The Greatest Sign.
> He started thinking that swastika is the Godhead, the Creator whom all things have come from, as the Ananda Marga philosophy says. Later on man failed, according to the Bible, so God chose the Elected Ones, so the sign of Solomon, of Judaism, is there. These people were elected to bring man back to higher consciousness, but they failed to keep their covenant with Him. So He sent Christ to tell the Jews that they are not Chosen Ones any longer. After Christ, a great Prophet came, not from the Jews, but from a close race, the Arabs, as Muhammad. After that, a sense of universalism had been arisen in humanity, so Bab/Baha’u'llah came to bring that message, the Baha’i Faith. And Ananda Marga brought the concept of Paravipra, or the true leaders of the society who will bring the dream of universalism to the reality to accelerate the progress of humanity return to God, which is the second swastika, at the end.
> At the same time, Maitreya’s cousin started insisting that they visit the Playboy Club. They had a key for the Playboy Club. If you are a member, you have a key and you can get in. They wanted to impress on Maitreya that they had the key, so they could go to the Playboy Club [laughter]. Now Maitreya was here in this Revelation of The Greatest Sign and impressed with this realization and this flashback that just took all the life out of him, and they wanted to take him to the Playboy Club. He said, "Oh guys, don’t worry about it, I don’t want to do that." He didn’t want to hurt their feelings that, "No, come on, forget it, I don’t want to go there." They just kept insisting and he just tried, "Oh, not tonight. I am going to cook tonight for you, so not tonight." Maitreya cooked for them that night. The next night came, "The children are tired, let’s not do it tonight." But Maitreya felt that they were getting upset about his resistance.
> Now he was studying the religions much deeper. Before he was just reading them and enjoying them. Now he was really reading them with this Spirit, just going into them to see why Baha’i, why Islam, why Christianity, why? And The Greatest Sign started to evolve more and more.
> So the symbols were in the circle, and it went from swastika, to the Seal of Solomon, to Christianity, to Islam, to the Baha’i Faith, to Ananda Marga, and back to the swastika. Maitreya drew a circle and divided it into six parts, and put each symbol at one of these points. Then he drew the two big triangles, which connect each three of these symbols together. Later on he put a swastika in the middle of all these, so The Greatest Sign was almost complete. But still the I-Ching and the dot in the middle of the I-Ching had not been revealed. They came to be later on in 1978 when Maitreya was in Denver. Actually, he wouldn’t show it to anyone.
> Of course, Maitreya was bothered with the notion of the swastika and that is one of the reasons that he studied symbolism. He found out that the swastika is one of the oldest symbols on earth and every tribe and nation used it, every mystical religion on earth, even the American Indians had it. Africans had it, and Asians had it also.
> Maitreya decided to go to Virginia Beach to study symbolism from Edgar Cayce at the Foundation there.
> He gave away a lot of things and sold some others. Maitreya took his car and headed for Denver, Colorado. That was the only place where he knew some people. It was being impressed on him that he had to go to Denver, that the goal of his life had already been planned for him, that he has this mission to fulfill, and that he is not going to get his doctorate.
> Also, during this time of intense realization, the four parts of The Holy Word, which is also called The Holy Name, The Word, and the mantra that we have in the Mission, started being revealed. Maitreya’s mantra started changing to The Holy Word, which really the pronunciation is what the Hebrews knew and said, "Don’t utter it." That is why if someone tried to utter it, he would be stoned. This was not because they didn’t want that it be uttered, but because you cannot utter it. It is not possible to utter the Holy Name in the physical world. It is a very etheric thing, it’s from the Consciousness (God).
> Maitreya said, "OK, I’ll go to Denver. They know me, I know them." From the very first trip to Denver he knew that this city had some relationship with his life. He went to Denver and started subtly and slowly to reveal to them that this is even more expanded than what they already have, "So they are surely going to join me, and help me with this." However, as usual, God had another Plan for him.
> On the third day of his stay in Denver, Maitreya was working on the Koran and was isolating those parts that seemed interesting. He was sitting in a room and was reading, and this person from Ananda Marga (Maitreya said, "This crazy guy, a wonderful man but we never connected really that strong, but we were aware of each other’s presence") suddenly burst into his room and said, "Hey." He didn’t like to say he really needed something. He wanted to see how Maitreya feelings were, "Hey, do you want to go to this mountain? There’s a good place called Shamballa Ashrama. Do you want to go meditate there?" They drove all the way, around twenty miles south of Denver and they went on this dirt road and went to the mountain in Sedalia (or something like that!), almost in the middle of the mountain. The place was called the Shamballa Ashrama, or the Brotherhood of the White Temple. However, when they arrived there, they only found an office with the secretaries. When they went in, there was a nice office and a couple of very pedicured secretaries sitting in their chairs, and these two hippies were walking in [laughter]. The secretaries were just shocked. They jumped from their chairs, "What do you want?" This hippie-looking guy told them that, "We came here to meditate." One of the secretaries said, "We don’t have any place to meditate" [laughter]. When she heard this request, she just handed some information to them and almost pushed them out of the office. While they were driving back, Maitreya picked up the information the secretary gave them, and started looking at it. In the list of their literature they had a booklet called, Maitreya, Lord of the World. Maitreya said, "Hey, wait. Let’s go back there. I’d like to buy this book."
> In the book it was stated that there are only three books written about Maitreya, and this one is the only one in the West. It was the first book that had so much about Maitreya. However, somehow it was incomplete. In this book it said that Maitreya is a Western soul which is the belief of the Buddhists in the Far East. However, Jews and Christians are waiting for Maitreya to come from the East. That is why most of the people are expecting Maitreya to come from Iran (Persia), because it is east of Jerusalem and west of Tibet.
> Actually our symbol, the throne with Maitreya in it, is from the cover of that book. However, this picture does not belong to them; it is a drawing by a 15th century Monk in Tibet.
> Then they moved from that house to another house, a big house in Denver. Maitreya started writing about The Greatest Sign, and the book THOTH started forming. He was writing, revising, and re-writing it over and over again. He would go to the mountains during the day and write THOTH. They moved from there and ended up eventually in the mountains. They rented a big house at the top of Denver, in Indian Hills. So he didn’t have to drive to the mountains any more. He could just stay home and write.
> He brought the new Greatest Sign out, and put it on the altar. The moment he did that, a cloud suddenly came up. It started raining, and then big hailstones came down, then the sun came out again, and there was a big rainbow right behind The Greatest Sign. It all happened very quickly. There was no doubt in our minds. These were signs from Heaven. We said, "That is it," and from then on we continued with The Greatest Sign we have now.
> So they moved to Albuquerque. This was in 1981. THOTH had not been completed yet, but The Greatest Sign was ready.
> It was in the spring of 1982 that they put some ads in a few magazines proclaiming that, "Maitreya is here." People started coming to the Mission, asking them if they were the ones that Benjamin Creme was preaching about. They answered, "Who is Benjamin Creme?" They were told, Creme is the person who is saying Maitreya will announce Himself in the spring of 1982. That is exactly when Maitreya also reached to humanity and announced His Presence to the world. Maitreya told them we do not know this Mr. Crème. Actually, after a while, he thought probably it is the same energy that inspired Mr. Crème to announce Maitreya’s presence on earth. That is why they (the Mission) sent a couple of invitations to Benjamin Creme to come and join the Mission. Some other people also have told him about us. He hadn’t found his Maitreya yet, nor answered the call to him to join us either.
> It was then that the people started coming and the Mission started getting in touch with a lot of New Agers, a lot of them. They just flooded the Mission. How many came? 300-400 people. They just kept coming and they brought the Keys of Enoch, the spaceship brothers, crystals, channeling, etc.
> Actually, David Bent, Jean Hudon, Mary Lamb, Elaine Powell, and a couple of other people wrote letters to Benjamin Creme about, "Maitreya is here in Albuquerque," and all of that. And even Elaine was, I guess, one of the first people who introduced Benjamin Creme to the United States (that is what she told us). She was close to the people around him. She took THOTH, went to California and presented it to the Tara Center there. And they were rude to her. She was very upset about that. So we went to the Planetary Initiatives, and we had a lecture there. That was the first time personally that Maitreya reached to the world.
> Then, of course, Maitreya went to Jean Hudon’s and stayed with him for a month. It was then that he wrote The Light, to go along with The Map, The Master Plan For Planet Earth, which were put together as a booklet, The Plan. It was written because Jean complained to Maitreya that, "You have only The Master Plan For Planet Earth, it doesn’t have much of the spiritual part of the Mission." Maitreya said, "OK, I will write it for you." Maitreya wrote The Light in one afternoon, in a couple of hours. Jean typed it, put it together, and published it in three days.
> Now, as you know, almost everything has been revealed and is ready. Now we have to "call them that are bidden to the wedding." Now is the time to invite others to join us and let them see the truth that we have here. We should share this knowledge with those who have made themselves ready to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, as is described by The Greatest Sign.
> For a brief history of what happened to the "Mission" and Maitreya after he started his "Mission" on 1977 to 2008 read an article written by a disciple (if URL is not working click here)!
Wow. Ok, I know that's a lot to digest. Here's what's confusing to me though.
I can't properly discern whether or not this Maitreya depicted here is the same one being peddled by Share International and Benjamin Creme or if he's a delusional fraud trying to capitalize on the name and movement for himself.
Yes, there are a lot of sections that mention Creme to give the appearances that it connects, but some of the "facts" and dates don't match like the assertion that Maitreya was living in Albuquerque, NM in 1982 when Creme says he's been living in London since 1977. At the same, this Maitreya explicitly notes that 1977 was the start of his "Mission" so there is some overlap that connects.
Furthermore, my hunch about this possibly being a fraud also stems from the fact that the website I linked to as the source for this entry has several photos, videos, and audio recordings from the man claiming to be Maitreya, and he looks nothing like the image on the Share International website! In addition, the contact info on this website where the Bio appears is a U.S. address -- not London as we'd expect.
Then again, the key fact that Creme shared is that Maitreya has been living in London since 1977 so that would be consistent with this Bio and the site where it's found, which says the "Mission of Maitreya" truly began that same year in 1977. Despite the U.S. mailing address, perhaps that not as glaring a red flag as we might think. For all we know, it could merely be the contact address for this devoted follower of Maitreya's. I don't know.
Initially, my first instinct was to simply dismiss all of this as a fraud even though this Bio mentions Creme and everything else we'd expect to find in Maitreya's biography. I'm not so sure now. At this point, I admit that while I could be wrong, I'm leaning SLIGHTLY toward the idea that this is a legitimate biography for this False Christ and that, where there are some discrepancies, that can be attributed to the fact that Maitreya's father is Satan, or the Master of Deception.
Yes, I know that the images, videos, and recordings on that site don't match with the one photo we've seen on Share International's website, but one sister in Christ has pointed out how Creme has said that Maitreya can appear any way he likes including as a female one moment, and an old man, or even a child, the next. So, based on what they're telling us, he might not look like the photos we have seen (the infamous Nairobi, Kenya image for example) -- he might not fit our expectations.
I just keep thinking how the level of detail presented in this Bio not only fits with what we've been told by Creme and Share International for decades now, but that it also fits with what we've been told in the Bible about that coming "man of sin" especially the part about him being the "Assyrian" as just one identifying characteristic. That's an incredibly HUGE clue that would connect to this Bio for sure That's why I decided to put this out there for you. To point out its existence so we can at least be aware of the possibility and expose him if this is all true. Bottom line, more research and time spent on this newest Maitreya website is need before any definitive conclusions can be made I think.
So, what's the truth here? How much stock should we put in this supposed Bio of Maitreya? Whether or not this is a genuine biography on the man who is Maitreya, or an elaborate hoax doesn't really matter.
Our job here is to expose these kinds of deceptions because they seek to turn people away from the simple truth of the Gospel and ultimately away from Jesus Christ. I'll be damned if I'm going to sit and just watch people like this infect the world as well as hearts and minds with this kind of garbage. Besides, our focus has been on Maitreya in recent days so this was a natural follow-up that needed to be mentioned.
Folks, sadly, even with all the deception we're seeing these days (present Maitreya stuff excluded), we haven't seen anything yet. Stay on guard by staying grounded in God's Word. Turn to Him and not some False Christs for protection.

Despite my best efforts, I can't seem to turn up any additional information on possible candidates who may have given "the" interview. In case you're wondering, I've decided to focus as much time and energy as I can (not by my power, but by His) to this subject here in this space because I feel strongly that out of all the individuals who could fulfill end times Bible prophecy and step into the infamous role of the Antichrist it's Maitreya who seems to fit the description better than the rest.
If that's true, and my/our assessment of him is accurate, then it behooves us to warn as many people as possible about the real dangers he presents before it's too late for us and for them.
If you want evidence of a sinister spiritual component to all of this than look no further than Maitreya's biography. That's right! The Holy Spirit actually helped me track down a detailed (and blasphemous) biography on the man.
That last part is an important one. Remember that despite how he's been promoted to the world for the last several decades, Creme is insistent that he is a "regular guy" like the rest of us and that's why he made this TV appearance the other day under an assumed alias -- they want the world to accept the "message" first, not the "man" delivering the message. Please keep that in mind as you continue reading this because if this is legit, then it would fit perfectly with such an approach.
I find many disturbing statements in this biography. This man and his people claim that he is the "World Teacher" and the "Return of Christ" (amongst other religious names), and for that reason I wholeheartedly believe we all need to know as much as possible about him. Why? Not only because I'm trying to put Ephesians 5:11 and Matthew 10:16 to work here, but mainly because it is my belief that the fraud of all frauds is about to begin.
So, here's that biography I found for this False Christ. A detailed and very disturbing biography about him, which was been written by one of his own devotees. I'll provide the link to the entire biography, but I'll pull some incredible excerpts with highlighted portions that I feel are prophetically relevant based on the things we read about the coming Antichrist in the pages of the Holy Bible. Please let me know if you make the same connections that I do because some of them are absolutely stunning. Keep in mind that this "Biography" was apparently written by this devotee
HOW HE BECAME "MAITREYA" [Source]
> He was born in Tehran, Iran on November 8, 1944
> All of his grandfathers were religious leaders. Not only were they the religious guides of the area, but their power exceeded their religious authority. Maitreya’s grandfather had to be consulted and his permission was essential before any governmental official could enter his territory.
> His parents were the first generation in the family to leave that village and come to larger cities such as Tehran. His father started as a teacher. Then after passing an entrance examination and studying in law school, he became a judge. Right after Maitreya’s birth, however, he took advantage of an offer by the government, received an early retirement, and started his law practice as a lawyer. It was then that he became more prosperous. Maitreya was born the seventh child.
> He was given the name Mohammed by his parents (Muslims are expecting the name of the Mehdi to be Mohammed!).
> Another interesting aspect were the dreams Maitreya’s mother had when she was pregnant with him in her womb. One of her dreams was that: They were preparing to eat dinner. She said to Maitreya’s father, "But Prophet Mohammed has not come to dinner with us yet." His father answered, "Do not worry, he will be here soon!" Another dream was that she saw herself sitting on a lion. The lion was rising from the horizon, like the sun. A voice told her, "The lion you are riding is your child." Maitreya’s mother later said, when she was in America visiting her son, that the landscape in that dream looked like New Mexico.
> He had reached a point where he said, "If you show me God, then I will accept Him. If you can’t show me, then I can’t believe in something that I cannot see."
> When he read about evolution, he felt, "Ah, that makes sense. There were dinosaurs, then there were monkeys, and then there were humans. They evolved from each other and eventually it came to what I am." So it made more sense than religion.
> He just rejected God completely. He became an atheist, you can say, and he was comfortable with it. He didn’t think too much about these things any more. He was just a student, going to school, doing his homework, getting his grades, and trying to please his parents, if possible.
> This trend continued until Maitreya entered college and finished his degree, a BS in Business Administration. In college he also became involved in gymnastics. After college he had two years of military training. These all went relatively comfortably and smoothly. It was one year after he finished the army that all preparations were completed for Maitreya to go to the United States for further education. He had finished his college education and had his Bachelor’s Degree. He came to the United States to get his Master’s and Doctorate Degrees. He thought he was just here to get his education and go back. But when he came to the U.S., amazingly, he started being pushed and pulled in directions he wasn’t intending to go. It was then that the greatest chapter of his life started to unfold. With a Mighty Hand, he was guided to his final realization and Revelation of God’s Plan.
> He was in school in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but he lost his interest in pursuing education. He was still considering finishing his degree. He wanted to have more time to think about these new developments than study.
> Later on, when they came to know each other better, Maitreya went to his room and Satish showed him a pamphlet that was about the activities of Ananda Marga. He explained some of the aspects of that organization and he showed Maitreya their sign. When Maitreya saw the swastika in the sign, he asked him if he was a Nazi. Satish then explained to him that the swastika is not what Hitler used it for, but it is a very ancient sign symbolizing higher consciousness. Satish also told him some of their philosophy, but Maitreya was really interested in meditation at that time. It seemed anyone he met who meditated was happy and full of energy. He wanted to learn this art that made these people so joyful!
> That spring he finished his MBA and was accepted for continuing his doctorate in business in three universities. He chose to go to Mississippi State University because they accepted him unconditionally. The other universities were in Pennsylvania: Penn State and Temple University. If he had stayed in that state, he would have been almost in the same situation as before.
> That year, there was a weeklong Ananda Marga retreat in Kansas. It is a custom for the people in that organization to ask for a Sanskrit spiritual name. Maitreya was in Ananda Marga probably two years by then, and he had never felt he needed a spiritual name. He never had a desire for one, but in the retreat he decided to ask for a name from his Achareya.
Of course, most of the people who asked for a spiritual name received it right away. They had the names of Ishvara, Krishna, or Shivamurtti, and all those big names. That retreat was finished and he went home. Maitreya waited for a month, two months, but the name was not coming.
> Maitreya had become so inspired at that retreat that he decided also to go to a training center in Denver and become a wholetimer himself. It just seemed that more and more he was becoming attracted to the spiritual world rather than the external world.
> So Maitreya went early in the morning Saturday (interesting it was Sabbath!) just as he woke up. He rushed to Rudranath’s room and said, "What is my name? Are you going to give me my name or what?" Rudranath said, "OK, your name is Maitreya." Maitreya couldn’t even pronounce it correctly, so Rudranath wrote it down for him. Maitreya asked, "What does that mean? What does Maitreya mean?" He said, "It means The Compassionate One." Maitreya said, "OK" and he walked out, saying to himself, "OK, my name is Maitreya, that is my spiritual name."
> Actually the next week after that, Maitreya had to go to Memphis, Tennessee. He had to do a couple of things there.
> A few weeks later, Maitreya received a letter from the other teacher and he gave him the name Vigi Kumar. Vigi means, "youthful." Kumar means, "prince." So Vigi Kumar means, "the young prince." Maitreya said, "Wow, that looks better [laughter]. I’m going to use the name Vigi Kumar instead of Maitreya." So he was using both names and telling the people that he liked Vigi Kumar better, but without any exception all told him that he should accept Maitreya over Vigi Kumar, because being compassionate is a greater virtue than thinking you are a young prince.
> Ananda Marga had their headquarters in Denver, Colorado. They had a business called Golden Lotus. They used to make shampoo and other products. It was a very wonderful shampoo, it might still be on the market. They were having problems with their business so they were looking for someone, a business major, to come and study their business and suggest some recommendations. Since Maitreya couldn’t take the two courses he needed that summer, he had almost the whole second part of the summer doing nothing. So Maitreya wrote them saying, "I am a business major, do you want me to come and help you out with this problem?" He received a call, "Yes, come. You can come here and stay with us and do the things we need to be done." Maitreya went to Denver, and it was decided that he should study the company and set up a cost-accounting system, some paper flows, and makes a report of its situation in general.
> So Maitreya left and went to Mississippi and went to his P.O. box. He found, after two months of being away, only one letter in his box and it was from the Dean of the business school, "Come and see me as soon as you can." The next morning he went there and said, "Well, here I am." The Dean said, "We have a scholarship for you. You are going to receive $250 a month. The only thing you have to do is to work with one of the professors ten hours a week. Also, you don’t have to pay any tuition. Your tuition is waived." So he stayed that Fall. This was the year 1976. Maitreya had only two courses and this teacher wanted him to go and study the market trends in the stock market. He wanted to be on top of the stock market trends, etc. So the only thing Maitreya had to do was spend probably half an hour a day just to see what the trend was, especially in the Dow Jones.
> Whenever he would get bored and had nothing to do, he would go to the spiritual section of the library and look at different books, on Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, etc. On one of these days he was flipping through a Buddhist book, and suddenly he came across the name Maitreya. He started reading it and in the middle of the book he found that the name of the Buddha to come is Maitreya. For the first time he found the name of Maitreya in a book about Buddhism. It was very interesting, but he did not believe in prophecies then, so he just became a little more pleased with his name and understood that the name is mostly related to Buddhism.
> Then some other time he went and flipped through another book and suddenly came across this, that Maitreya probably came from Mithra, from Persia, which was one of the Gods of the Zoroastrian religion. He was supposed also to come, to return, and unify the world and all that. He said, "Oh great. It is also even related to the same country, to the nation where I was born." He still had the national feeling, "Wow, that relates to where I was born. Oh, great!"
> Now he started reaching out, studying about other religions, but not the Bible. He hadn’t touched the Bible yet. He had heard about it. They had talked about it in that church, but he didn’t know what they were talking about. He knew there were some things coming from the Bible, but He didn’t know really where in the Bible they were coming from.
> There was a Bible in front of him. He picked it up, flipped it open, and started reading it, "Genesis 1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth," and on and on. That is evolution, isn’t it? Just right there Maitreya realized that it is the same thing as evolution! He was amazed at how the explanation of the creation corresponded to the evolutionary process. Right there He realized that each day of creation was referring to one period of the evolutionary process. It was the first time in his life that he had read the Old Testament. He just could not stop reading it.
> So he borrowed the book [laughter]. He went to his room and started reading the Bible. Maitreya read, and read, and read, and read, and read. Really, the two courses, the students, the teacher, and the scholarship were out of the window. Now it was Bible time. He was reading it and reading it, the Old Testament, and then the New Testament. Of course, he bought his own Bible, and he returned that Bible to the church where he had borrowed it [laughter]. He said, "Thank you very much. It was good to have it for a couple of days." Actually, he still has the Bible he bought back then. He started reading the Bible, making notes, and seeing this and that. That was it. He was totally engaged. Then Maitreya realized, "If the Bible is like that, I’d better start reading the Koran too."
> All these things were extremely interesting, to read them, to see. There was always this feeling that there should be a relationship. There were a couple of Baha’is from Iran on the campus, so he also started talking to the Baha’is and getting interested in them, a little bit, not much. He already knew about Ananda Marga. And he was also talking to the Mormons and many groups who would come to the campus to talk to the students. There was something strongly impressed on him, that there should be a thread between all these beliefs. It was the first time in his life that he was so attracted to these books. He just could not believe that there was any difference between these Revelations. If there is One God, why so many Revelations? He could not grasp the exact relationship then but he intuitively knew that there should be some relationship. He found himself helplessly reading these books and spending his time going through them again and again, as he was finding so much truth in them and their relationships with the teachings of Ananda Marga.
> He was sitting in his class and the professor was talking about management, which in organization is represented as a triangle upward. The teacher was talking about the president, the vice-presidents, department heads, etc, the triangle upward. "Oh, the triangle upward means the hierarchy, the hierarchy in the organization." So the triangle upward in the sign of Solomon maybe has the same meaning! Then what would the triangle downward mean in that symbol? Maitreya was out of class, he was in the sign of Solomon and the Jewish symbol. So he was out of the study. The professor was talking about management, and Maitreya was thinking about God and His relationship with this. He was no longer there. He didn’t belong to those classes any more. This extremely powerful consciousness was being impressed on him.
> Now Maitreya was familiar with the Far East Philosophies, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, a little of Baha’i, and Ananda Marga. That was it. But he was much more interested to read books about spirituality, the Bible, and anything related, and go to the churches and talk to the priests. That he also started doing, going to the churches in Mississippi and talking about God the way he understood Him. After awhile they would say, "Oh." They were beginning to get scared, kind of, the way the truth he was presenting to them was so striking that they couldn’t handle it.
> It was at the end of February that he felt really tired and frustrated about all the things that were happening. So he decided to go to Chicago and visit his cousin. He planned to stay with them for a week. He was thinking that he was going to forget all about everything and would clear his mind of all these things, and then he would go back to Mississippi and put all his effort in getting ready for taking the comprehensive examination again.
> Maitreya took his car and started driving toward Chicago. Mississippi to Chicago is almost like a straight-line north, almost, not completely. So he went and arrived at their house around three days later. They sat around and talked. They renewed their friendship and things like that. A few hours later, they asked him, "What do you want to do tomorrow?" They were both supposed to go to work. But his wife had off the next day. The rest of the week they both had to go to work. She said, "I have off tomorrow, what do you want to do? How about going to see the Baha’i Temple?" Maitreya said, "OK, sure, that would be fine." Maitreya had read a little about the Baha’i Faith but he had never seen a Baha’i Temple.
> So they went there and walked up the steps, and oh, this beautiful white Temple was there. And there is a swastika, the Star of David (Judaism), the cross (Christianity), the moon and star (Islam), and the Baha’i symbol carved there on the temple. The moment Maitreya saw all these signs on the wall, a flash of realization occurred. He suddenly realized their relationships. His mind was filled with the excitement of this realization. It was impressed on him, all the symbols. That was where the whole Greatest Sign started to form.
> He started putting the signs that were on the temple and the sign of Ananda Marga on a sheet of paper. He put the swastika at the top, then the sign of Solomon, Christianity, Islam, and Baha’i, from top to bottom. "There is something there, there is some relationship. There is a thread between them." As he was doing this, then he added Ananda Marga, the sixth seal. So he had six of them now. He knew that God’s number is 7, so he put another swastika at the very bottom. Now if the first and last Swastika would come together! As his best topic in high school was geometry, Maitreya knew that every circle could be divided six times by its radius. So he made a circle and divided it by its sixth radius and put each sign around. It started to evolve more and more toward The Greatest Sign.
> He started thinking that swastika is the Godhead, the Creator whom all things have come from, as the Ananda Marga philosophy says. Later on man failed, according to the Bible, so God chose the Elected Ones, so the sign of Solomon, of Judaism, is there. These people were elected to bring man back to higher consciousness, but they failed to keep their covenant with Him. So He sent Christ to tell the Jews that they are not Chosen Ones any longer. After Christ, a great Prophet came, not from the Jews, but from a close race, the Arabs, as Muhammad. After that, a sense of universalism had been arisen in humanity, so Bab/Baha’u'llah came to bring that message, the Baha’i Faith. And Ananda Marga brought the concept of Paravipra, or the true leaders of the society who will bring the dream of universalism to the reality to accelerate the progress of humanity return to God, which is the second swastika, at the end.
> At the same time, Maitreya’s cousin started insisting that they visit the Playboy Club. They had a key for the Playboy Club. If you are a member, you have a key and you can get in. They wanted to impress on Maitreya that they had the key, so they could go to the Playboy Club [laughter]. Now Maitreya was here in this Revelation of The Greatest Sign and impressed with this realization and this flashback that just took all the life out of him, and they wanted to take him to the Playboy Club. He said, "Oh guys, don’t worry about it, I don’t want to do that." He didn’t want to hurt their feelings that, "No, come on, forget it, I don’t want to go there." They just kept insisting and he just tried, "Oh, not tonight. I am going to cook tonight for you, so not tonight." Maitreya cooked for them that night. The next night came, "The children are tired, let’s not do it tonight." But Maitreya felt that they were getting upset about his resistance.
> Now he was studying the religions much deeper. Before he was just reading them and enjoying them. Now he was really reading them with this Spirit, just going into them to see why Baha’i, why Islam, why Christianity, why? And The Greatest Sign started to evolve more and more.
> So the symbols were in the circle, and it went from swastika, to the Seal of Solomon, to Christianity, to Islam, to the Baha’i Faith, to Ananda Marga, and back to the swastika. Maitreya drew a circle and divided it into six parts, and put each symbol at one of these points. Then he drew the two big triangles, which connect each three of these symbols together. Later on he put a swastika in the middle of all these, so The Greatest Sign was almost complete. But still the I-Ching and the dot in the middle of the I-Ching had not been revealed. They came to be later on in 1978 when Maitreya was in Denver. Actually, he wouldn’t show it to anyone.
> Of course, Maitreya was bothered with the notion of the swastika and that is one of the reasons that he studied symbolism. He found out that the swastika is one of the oldest symbols on earth and every tribe and nation used it, every mystical religion on earth, even the American Indians had it. Africans had it, and Asians had it also.
> Maitreya decided to go to Virginia Beach to study symbolism from Edgar Cayce at the Foundation there.
> He gave away a lot of things and sold some others. Maitreya took his car and headed for Denver, Colorado. That was the only place where he knew some people. It was being impressed on him that he had to go to Denver, that the goal of his life had already been planned for him, that he has this mission to fulfill, and that he is not going to get his doctorate.
> Also, during this time of intense realization, the four parts of The Holy Word, which is also called The Holy Name, The Word, and the mantra that we have in the Mission, started being revealed. Maitreya’s mantra started changing to The Holy Word, which really the pronunciation is what the Hebrews knew and said, "Don’t utter it." That is why if someone tried to utter it, he would be stoned. This was not because they didn’t want that it be uttered, but because you cannot utter it. It is not possible to utter the Holy Name in the physical world. It is a very etheric thing, it’s from the Consciousness (God).
> Maitreya said, "OK, I’ll go to Denver. They know me, I know them." From the very first trip to Denver he knew that this city had some relationship with his life. He went to Denver and started subtly and slowly to reveal to them that this is even more expanded than what they already have, "So they are surely going to join me, and help me with this." However, as usual, God had another Plan for him.
> On the third day of his stay in Denver, Maitreya was working on the Koran and was isolating those parts that seemed interesting. He was sitting in a room and was reading, and this person from Ananda Marga (Maitreya said, "This crazy guy, a wonderful man but we never connected really that strong, but we were aware of each other’s presence") suddenly burst into his room and said, "Hey." He didn’t like to say he really needed something. He wanted to see how Maitreya feelings were, "Hey, do you want to go to this mountain? There’s a good place called Shamballa Ashrama. Do you want to go meditate there?" They drove all the way, around twenty miles south of Denver and they went on this dirt road and went to the mountain in Sedalia (or something like that!), almost in the middle of the mountain. The place was called the Shamballa Ashrama, or the Brotherhood of the White Temple. However, when they arrived there, they only found an office with the secretaries. When they went in, there was a nice office and a couple of very pedicured secretaries sitting in their chairs, and these two hippies were walking in [laughter]. The secretaries were just shocked. They jumped from their chairs, "What do you want?" This hippie-looking guy told them that, "We came here to meditate." One of the secretaries said, "We don’t have any place to meditate" [laughter]. When she heard this request, she just handed some information to them and almost pushed them out of the office. While they were driving back, Maitreya picked up the information the secretary gave them, and started looking at it. In the list of their literature they had a booklet called, Maitreya, Lord of the World. Maitreya said, "Hey, wait. Let’s go back there. I’d like to buy this book."
> In the book it was stated that there are only three books written about Maitreya, and this one is the only one in the West. It was the first book that had so much about Maitreya. However, somehow it was incomplete. In this book it said that Maitreya is a Western soul which is the belief of the Buddhists in the Far East. However, Jews and Christians are waiting for Maitreya to come from the East. That is why most of the people are expecting Maitreya to come from Iran (Persia), because it is east of Jerusalem and west of Tibet.
> Actually our symbol, the throne with Maitreya in it, is from the cover of that book. However, this picture does not belong to them; it is a drawing by a 15th century Monk in Tibet.
> Then they moved from that house to another house, a big house in Denver. Maitreya started writing about The Greatest Sign, and the book THOTH started forming. He was writing, revising, and re-writing it over and over again. He would go to the mountains during the day and write THOTH. They moved from there and ended up eventually in the mountains. They rented a big house at the top of Denver, in Indian Hills. So he didn’t have to drive to the mountains any more. He could just stay home and write.
> He brought the new Greatest Sign out, and put it on the altar. The moment he did that, a cloud suddenly came up. It started raining, and then big hailstones came down, then the sun came out again, and there was a big rainbow right behind The Greatest Sign. It all happened very quickly. There was no doubt in our minds. These were signs from Heaven. We said, "That is it," and from then on we continued with The Greatest Sign we have now.
> So they moved to Albuquerque. This was in 1981. THOTH had not been completed yet, but The Greatest Sign was ready.
> It was in the spring of 1982 that they put some ads in a few magazines proclaiming that, "Maitreya is here." People started coming to the Mission, asking them if they were the ones that Benjamin Creme was preaching about. They answered, "Who is Benjamin Creme?" They were told, Creme is the person who is saying Maitreya will announce Himself in the spring of 1982. That is exactly when Maitreya also reached to humanity and announced His Presence to the world. Maitreya told them we do not know this Mr. Crème. Actually, after a while, he thought probably it is the same energy that inspired Mr. Crème to announce Maitreya’s presence on earth. That is why they (the Mission) sent a couple of invitations to Benjamin Creme to come and join the Mission. Some other people also have told him about us. He hadn’t found his Maitreya yet, nor answered the call to him to join us either.
> It was then that the people started coming and the Mission started getting in touch with a lot of New Agers, a lot of them. They just flooded the Mission. How many came? 300-400 people. They just kept coming and they brought the Keys of Enoch, the spaceship brothers, crystals, channeling, etc.
> Actually, David Bent, Jean Hudon, Mary Lamb, Elaine Powell, and a couple of other people wrote letters to Benjamin Creme about, "Maitreya is here in Albuquerque," and all of that. And even Elaine was, I guess, one of the first people who introduced Benjamin Creme to the United States (that is what she told us). She was close to the people around him. She took THOTH, went to California and presented it to the Tara Center there. And they were rude to her. She was very upset about that. So we went to the Planetary Initiatives, and we had a lecture there. That was the first time personally that Maitreya reached to the world.
> Then, of course, Maitreya went to Jean Hudon’s and stayed with him for a month. It was then that he wrote The Light, to go along with The Map, The Master Plan For Planet Earth, which were put together as a booklet, The Plan. It was written because Jean complained to Maitreya that, "You have only The Master Plan For Planet Earth, it doesn’t have much of the spiritual part of the Mission." Maitreya said, "OK, I will write it for you." Maitreya wrote The Light in one afternoon, in a couple of hours. Jean typed it, put it together, and published it in three days.
> Now, as you know, almost everything has been revealed and is ready. Now we have to "call them that are bidden to the wedding." Now is the time to invite others to join us and let them see the truth that we have here. We should share this knowledge with those who have made themselves ready to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, as is described by The Greatest Sign.
> For a brief history of what happened to the "Mission" and Maitreya after he started his "Mission" on 1977 to 2008 read an article written by a disciple (if URL is not working click here)!
Wow. Ok, I know that's a lot to digest. Here's what's confusing to me though.
I can't properly discern whether or not this Maitreya depicted here is the same one being peddled by Share International and Benjamin Creme or if he's a delusional fraud trying to capitalize on the name and movement for himself.
Yes, there are a lot of sections that mention Creme to give the appearances that it connects, but some of the "facts" and dates don't match like the assertion that Maitreya was living in Albuquerque, NM in 1982 when Creme says he's been living in London since 1977. At the same, this Maitreya explicitly notes that 1977 was the start of his "Mission" so there is some overlap that connects.
Furthermore, my hunch about this possibly being a fraud also stems from the fact that the website I linked to as the source for this entry has several photos, videos, and audio recordings from the man claiming to be Maitreya, and he looks nothing like the image on the Share International website! In addition, the contact info on this website where the Bio appears is a U.S. address -- not London as we'd expect.
Then again, the key fact that Creme shared is that Maitreya has been living in London since 1977 so that would be consistent with this Bio and the site where it's found, which says the "Mission of Maitreya" truly began that same year in 1977. Despite the U.S. mailing address, perhaps that not as glaring a red flag as we might think. For all we know, it could merely be the contact address for this devoted follower of Maitreya's. I don't know.
Initially, my first instinct was to simply dismiss all of this as a fraud even though this Bio mentions Creme and everything else we'd expect to find in Maitreya's biography. I'm not so sure now. At this point, I admit that while I could be wrong, I'm leaning SLIGHTLY toward the idea that this is a legitimate biography for this False Christ and that, where there are some discrepancies, that can be attributed to the fact that Maitreya's father is Satan, or the Master of Deception.
Yes, I know that the images, videos, and recordings on that site don't match with the one photo we've seen on Share International's website, but one sister in Christ has pointed out how Creme has said that Maitreya can appear any way he likes including as a female one moment, and an old man, or even a child, the next. So, based on what they're telling us, he might not look like the photos we have seen (the infamous Nairobi, Kenya image for example) -- he might not fit our expectations.
I just keep thinking how the level of detail presented in this Bio not only fits with what we've been told by Creme and Share International for decades now, but that it also fits with what we've been told in the Bible about that coming "man of sin" especially the part about him being the "Assyrian" as just one identifying characteristic. That's an incredibly HUGE clue that would connect to this Bio for sure That's why I decided to put this out there for you. To point out its existence so we can at least be aware of the possibility and expose him if this is all true. Bottom line, more research and time spent on this newest Maitreya website is need before any definitive conclusions can be made I think.
So, what's the truth here? How much stock should we put in this supposed Bio of Maitreya? Whether or not this is a genuine biography on the man who is Maitreya, or an elaborate hoax doesn't really matter.
Our job here is to expose these kinds of deceptions because they seek to turn people away from the simple truth of the Gospel and ultimately away from Jesus Christ. I'll be damned if I'm going to sit and just watch people like this infect the world as well as hearts and minds with this kind of garbage. Besides, our focus has been on Maitreya in recent days so this was a natural follow-up that needed to be mentioned.
Folks, sadly, even with all the deception we're seeing these days (present Maitreya stuff excluded), we haven't seen anything yet. Stay on guard by staying grounded in God's Word. Turn to Him and not some False Christs for protection.

He was in school in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but he lost his interest in pursuing education. He was still considering finishing his degree. He wanted to have more time to think about these new developments than study.
. . .
This trend continued until Maitreya entered college and finished his degree, a BS in Business Administration. In college he also became involved in gymnastics.
. . .
After college he had two years of military training. These all went relatively comfortably and smoothly. It was one year after he finished the army that all preparations were completed for Maitreya to go to the United States for further education. He had finished his college education and had his Bachelor’s Degree. He came to the United States to get his Master’s and Doctorate Degrees.

So Maitreya left and went to Mississippi and went to his P.O. box. He found, after two months of being away, only one letter in his box and it was from the Dean of the business school, "Come and see me as soon as you can." The next morning he went there and said, "Well, here I am." The Dean said, "We have a scholarship for you. You are going to receive $250 a month. The only thing you have to do is to work with one of the professors ten hours a week. Also, you don’t have to pay any tuition. Your tuition is waived." So he stayed that Fall. This was the year 1976. Maitreya had only two courses and this teacher wanted him to go and study the market trends in the stock market. He wanted to be on top of the stock market trends, etc. So the only thing Maitreya had to do was spend probably half an hour a day just to see what the trend was, especially in the Dow Jones.

That spring he finished his MBA and was accepted for continuing his doctorate in business in three universities. He chose to go to Mississippi State University because they accepted him unconditionally. The other universities were in Pennsylvania: Penn State and Temple University. If he had stayed in that state, he would have been almost in the same situation as before.

I am going to look in the 1976-1977 books. If he graduated from his MBA in '77, he probably completed a PHD at MissU in '79 or '80.
1977 yearbook, U of Scranton, page 98, says a guy named "Satish C. Kohli" but he is missing from the photo on page 98. LINK
The Maitreya from New Mexico is not the same as Benjamin Creme's Maitreya from Share International. A group of Theosophists have been preparing the way for Benjamin Creme's Maitreya since 1875. Read pages 500-520 of the Secret Doctrine from H.P. Blavastky (sacred-texts.com). She clearly states that Satan is the God and the only God of this world. This religion influenced Naziism, modern witchcraft, paganism, and Satanism through students such as Aleister Crowley.
Scientology came from one of Crowley's students(Ron L Hubbard). In a recent article from Share International, H.P. Blavatsky was compared as being equal to Jesus.

Maitreya from New Mexico came from Persia to the United States in 1974in fulfillment of ."as the sun rises from the East to the West, so also shall the coming of the Son of Man be."
The Lion from the dream represents the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, in fullfilment of revelations. "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel,when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God shall be finished as declared to his servents the prophets." Revelation 10:7. The seventh Angel is a lion of the tribe of Judah, a lineage from King David. If you look at a dictionary, one definition of an angel is a messenger of God.There are many claiming to be Maitreya, the Christ at this time (I counted at least 8, including RAEL.org), in fulfillment of "Many shall come in MY name claiming they are Christ and shall deceive many.".
Before judging Maitreya from New Mexico, you should read his book called "The Holiest of the Holies; The Last Testament". It will force you to reread the bible,especially when you see explanations that make sense. After studying the Tanahk, Bible, Koran, Bhagavad Gita, The Persian Bayan and The Kitab Aqdas(Bahai Faith and two witnesses from revelations), it seemed to be the truth.
As Jews rejeced Christ, Christians reject Islam, and Muslim's reject the Bahai Faith(1850), not realizing that god gave these religions to different people at different times. Christians and Muslims shot the Bab dead, but the Jews allowed for the remains of the Bab who founded the Bahai Faith to rest on top of Mount Carmel in Haifa Israel (Shrine of the Bab).

Carefully read Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18. Moses did not prophecy one prophet, but two.Thy brethren, and their brethren, the lineages from Abraham (Abram). Promises from God to Abram were for Ismael(Arabs). Ismael's mother was an Egyptian servant. Gabriel protected her and Ismael when they were forced to flee. Promises from God to Abraham were for Isaac (Jews). Maitreya from New Mexico does not perform miracles, but he does have the truth. The fruit of a messenger of God is not the miracle, but the message of God.
May God's blessings be with you.
