The temple was previously called Yangtorp and was built through a multi-million investment from the former ABBA member Anni-Frid Reuss.
The building was taken over by Oneness a year ago. The movement, which was started in India in the 80s, combines yoga and meditation and claims that the method can affect brain waves so that the practitioner reaches a special enlightened state.
The temple, which is opening in Skåne, is intended to become the movement's second central point in the world, for further spreading of Oneness in Europe, writes Sydsvenskan. This week, the Indian leaders are coming to Skåne and then followers from all over Europe are expected.
The cost of taking a course at the temple and meeting its leaders is 40,000 kronor. To "reach enlightenment" requires courses that total over 200,000 kronor.
The leaders in India have become billionaires through the sale of courses, blessings, and personal meetings with followers. They have also been suspected of extensive tax evasion, which they have denied. Even for the Swedish operation, tax havens and companies abroad are being used, according to Sydsvenskan's investigation. Among other things, the property is now owned by a company in the Cayman Islands.
