Talk:Serge Raynaud de la Ferrière

On Serge Raynaud de la Ferrière's biography
The founder of the UGB, Serge Raynaud de la Ferrière, has many inconsistencies in his biography. For instance, he claims in one of his letters to have earned five doctorate degrees, but where his biographers say he studied, he did not, and there are letters from various European universities confirming that he is not listed in their student files. Next, he copies several paragraphs from different authors without quoting them correctly. In one of his books, almost half of it is copied from a French author, which he only mentions here and there. Furthermore, he says he has the scientific proof of the vernal equinox in the constellation of Aquarius, in 1948, but it boils down to a calculation derived from his birth date. Besides, astronomically, the vernal equinox is still in Piscis. It would be a good idea to read his wife’s book (only in Spanish, free download here: http://louise.mejor.es/), to get a better glimpse of him. Lastly, he says he received recognition as a boddhisatva from a delegate do the Dalai Lama, in Burma, 1950, but the Office of His Holiness has sofar denied they know anything about him or the so–called delegate.
