点评:People can check my other reviews on google — I rarely leave negative ones, but my experience with Swami Vivekanand Yoga and Meditation School, Rishikesh (May–Oct 2025) was so poor that I need to warn others.
I first enquired about Reiki training in May 2025. I paid a 50 USD deposit on 19 May. The very next day the owner, Mohan Chandra, pressured me to pay the full balance of 215 USD, claiming he needed urgent money for his father’s “bran opresion” (brain operation). I told him I was wary about scams and didn’t want to pay the balance until the services were rendered. He reassured me, saying “I am also very trusting parson” and sent me ID and hospital papers. Against my better judgment I paid.
In July I cancelled due to health reasons and was promised a refund in September. It never came. Instead, I received excuse after excuse: rain, forex issues, “another operation,” and even fake hospital records that turned out to be for an 8-year-old child. He kept saying, “I will refund, I don’t like to take money without work,” but each date passed with nothing returned.
As of 5 October 2025, I have received zero refund. This school took my money, made emotional pleas, and broke every promise.
Be extremely cautious about paying anything upfront here. My experience was manipulative, dishonest, and deeply disappointing.
翻译:大家可以在谷歌上查看我的其他评论——我很少留下负面评价,但我在瑞诗凯诗斯瓦米·维韦卡南德瑜伽与冥想学校(2025年5月至10月)的体验实在太差,不得不提醒大家。
我第一次咨询灵气训练是在2025年5月。5月19日,我支付了50美元的定金。第二天,老板莫汉·钱德拉就逼我付清215美元的全款,声称他父亲的“脑部手术”(bran opresion)急需用钱。我告诉他,我担心被骗,不想在服务完成之前付清余款。他安慰我说:“我也很相信牧师”,并给我发了身份证和医院证明。我违背自己的判断,还是付了钱。
7月份,我因健康原因取消了课程,他们承诺9月份退款,但一直没退款。相反,我收到的借口一个接一个:下雨、外汇问题、“又要动手术”,甚至还有伪造的8岁儿童住院记录。他一直说:“我会退款,我不喜欢不劳而获。”但每次过了日期,我都没有收到任何退款。
截至2025年10月5日,我还没有收到任何退款。这所学校骗了我的钱,情绪化地恳求我,却违背了所有承诺。
预付款一定要格外谨慎。我的经历充满了操纵、欺骗和深深的失望。
