The information on this site has been put together
by former members of Sukyo Mahikari. We have endeavoured to
portray an accurate view of Mahikari teachings sourced from
their own publications and through articles written by long
term members.
Also included are personal
experiences, references about Mahikari and cults (updated 29 Dec 2021), and newspaper reports. The most recent discussions about Mahikari online are:

Many people throughout the world have survived the
Mahikari experience. It is our sincere hope that this site
will be used to gain tools of survival, not only from
Mahikari but similar groups which rob people of the ability
to make life choices.
We have a Frequently Asked
Questions page. We are no longer running an email account, and
hope that this page will answer your questions.
