I attended Panache Desai’s Initiation in-person event in April 2016. Instead having a positive and loving vibrational experience, I had an extrermely negative one. I did not see seeing the loving and inspiring person he professes to be. What I did see was an arrogant, greedy and selfish human being which I never want to be around again. It left me wondering if he was ever authentic. I felt scammed and defrauded. I felt that everthing he said and wrote prior to the seminar was just a show. I believe that the celebrity status resulting from Oprah has made him lazy and conceited and maybe he no longer needs to work that hard. I have to say, I felt somewhat traumatized by his manipulations.
Another thing I did not like is that he put down other spiritual leaders during the seminar. He called mediums a "fad". He stated more than once that he does not do things like others (spiritual leaders) - implying his connection to higher vibration was better or greater. A true spiritual leader does not need to put down others to elevate his status.
The setting at the Initiation in-person event reinforced his attitude of supremacy. Panache sat is a large comfortable chair while his 100 plus attendees were squeezed in like sardines into small conference chairs. Panache Desai used shame as a tactic during his sessions. If he calls shame enlightenment, then he is successful in meeting his objectivews. But I call this darkness, not enlightenment.
Panache professes to be better connected to a higher power than the rest of us. He went around the room and put his hand on attendees' heads for a few seconds to "enlighten us" through himself. Really? Jesus Christ like? Maybe he does believe he has supernatural powers - I'm not sure.
I have to write, he is a pretty good sales person. He made sure to spend plenty of time promoting his other products and services in a way that included scarcity as a sales tactic.
In short, I do not believe he is genuine or authentic. I write this review and complaint on Panache Desai, not out of anger, but to inform others so they do not fall prey to his manipulations. Really question what he is about before you proceed with spending your time and money with him.
I do believe in spirituality and higher vibration and I know what it can feel like. If this is what you are looking for, I wish you the best in your journey and hope this will help guide you.

I just wish to be a voice support and concurrence with much of what the original reporter said about Panache Desai. I followed him via his morning "monologs" and meditations for several months. As first, I found myself drawn in, intrigued, charmed & amused. But as time went on, certain things which the poster of this rip-off report also mentioned began nagging at me. I also find it disconcerting when a spiritual teacher feels the need to denigrate other teachers in order to raise him- or herself up in the eyes of followers, and I have indeed listened to Panache do this on numerous occasions now. I can affirm that yes, he does, indeed, sometimes shame students.
While he does sometimes say things which sound enlightened and wise, loving, spiritually enlightened people have nothing to do with shaming others. There is something of a cult-like adoration of him among those who listen every day and participate in his paid spiritual instruction - which, BTW, can cost thousands of dollars. Despite some glints of wisdom here & there, overall I find Panache Desai to be too much of a narcissistic one-man show lacking in the genuine empathy, kindness or deeper wisdom I recognize as the hallmarks of spiritual wisdom. He's not a teacher who I want to learn from or recommend others do, at least, not without caution.

I have been following Panache Desai for years and have attended several of his events. I can attest from my personal experience that he is a genuine and loving individual dedicated to helping people live their best life. I attended the Miami initiation in 2016 and I felt such peace and love that it was almost palpable. The seating was much like a classroom where the teacher sits at the front of the class. Panache is a vibrational catalyst, to put in plain English, his gift of vibrational transformation has aided in transforming my life.
What he does is he clears our density; energy blockages from past hurts, judgements and disappointments that have kept us from living life at our fullest potential. Much like a tuning fork, with vibrational transformation we operate at a higher frequency which actually changes circumstances in our lives and opens us to greater possibilities and living the life of our dreams. To start Panache taught me to accept and love myself as I am without judgement, that I am perfect just as I am and that God loves each of us beyond words. All of his events both online and in-person that I have participated in exude love as the core.
