I've been invited by a friend to volunteer for something called Inner Awakening by a indian guru called Nithyananda.
Apparently Nithyananda can heal people of anything, make one see out of their third eye, open the chakras, cause one to levitate and have out of body experiences.
Many people live at his ashram for free, they volunteer their time (have specific jobs) and live there for free with all meals & necessities provided for. He apparently feeds thousands of people daily for free, anyone who is hungry.
Has anyone ever met a India guru before? Is this guy legit? How am I to know if this is a cult or not?

Coming from a western background, I've personally never felt a connection with the Indian styles of /x/ topics. Maybe its my own bias, but I've never been able to see the value in such things, it just seems like another religion. Religions have value, but not for moi.
My suggestion with this though?
Go along, and see for yourself. Make the decision before you get roped into anything further, and always have a plan of escape, or do not go back there once you've been there one time. But if he is legit, and actually changes you, it might be worth spending a little time there.
Experience it, and make your own mind up.

Dude its a cult, You dont need any spiritual leader to do that stuff.

Visit the place. Then look into their organisation. If their activities are centered around only yoga, there's no harm. It's claimed in Vedas that there are 8 levels of yoga, and achieving perfection in each level earns you 8 extra sensory perception of the world. 64 in total.

Sounds south Indian. If its "Nityananda"(without an "H" after "Nit"), go ahead, otherwise bail. South indian "gurus" are known for scams and gimmicks

Yeah, I've seen his youtube channel. Definitely some worth in what he's doing, as well as some legitimacy to the practices he recommends but the amount of money he asks for people to participate is very questionable. If you have a chance to go definitely do so, but do keep an eye out. Reporting back would also be nice of you.

Avoid at all costs. Nithyananda is a charlatan.
Take it from someone with authentic spiritual teachers. They do in fact exist, but Nithyananda is not one of them. Stay very far away.
Anyway, trust your own intuition. If you want to, go to the event and see for yourself.
