Huffington Post Ignores Deepak Chopra’s Bizarre Earthquake Claim

April 8, 2010 | Filed under: New Age Nonsense,Woo Review | Posted by:

Several days after the fact, there is no reference whatsoever to be found on the Huffington Post to HuffPo woo-guru Deepak Chopra’s bizarre claim to have caused an earthquake through meditation.

Earlier this week, Deepak Chopra announced via Twitter that he’d caused an earthquake by meditating. He also promised not to do it again. At no point did he declare his comments a joke; considering the deaths, injuries, and property damage resulting from the Baja California temblor, a joke would certainly have been in poor taste.

Curious whether his hostess, Princess of Woo Arianna Huffington, had commented on the story, I searched the site. Here’s the result:

Considering how well-loved Chopra is by Arianna Huffington, Princess of Woo, one would think she’d run a front-page story about his wacky belated April Fool’s joke.


I do wonder why it has been ignored. Any thoughts? Is Huffington protecting Chopra, hoping to avoid his becoming a laughingstock? Is she afraid that her guru will get sued for damages, or prosecuted for manslaughter? After all, he does believe that he can impact the material world with his mind . . . or at least that’s what he says in his books.

    I was talking to a guy at work the other day about this and his response was pretty humorous and may answer why HP isn't saying much. Deepak is probably getting hit with a few lawsuits right about now since he openly confessed that the earthquake was his fault. He's gonna have to pay for it. Would LOVE to see him backtrack from his statement. It will call him out for the scam he is.

      I’d love to see that! Right about when the Mexican government sues him for damages, or the families of the deceased go after him for wrongful death.

        Somebody should. Of course the suit would be tossed on the grounds that it scientifically makes no sense but to have that label to slap on the guy for the future would be priceless.

    While leading a large group meditation a few years back Deepak was texting. When the event co-ordinator a friend of mine) looked at him curiously and panicked, he texted to her, "Its ok, I am a P-R-O-F-I-T $$$" So he must have plenty $$$ to settle any potential law suits form his mind storm of an earthquake.
