Buckingham--Some former followers of Swami Satchidananda say he used his influence to persuade some of his female students to have sex with him.

Satchidananda, 76, is a Hindu monk who teaches that the world's religions are paths to the same God. In 1979, he started Yogaville in Buckingham County. Also known as the Satchidananda Ashram, it is known for the Light of Truth International Shrine, which is devoted to the world's religions.
