Man, I'm in a mood to laugh, laugh, laugh. Thank you. I haven't had such belly laughs in years. But let me try to understand your arguments. You're saying that Maharishi did not have a hidden agenda of using the West to awaken the East, of spreading Maharishi brand Hinduism throughout the world? This of course runs counter to the way it was explained to us wide eyed children: that Maharishi was giving us what we needed at the time and or that our raising the world's consciousness allowed the Maha Rishi to cognize more and more of the Vedic truth, or as I always believed, to pull all of this shit out of his ass. Dr. BM doesn't just have those funny initials for nothing. Of course we've read which group of great seers and Shankaracharias granted him the title he scribbled on that stationary in London. Let me speak a bit more sweetly and say that he pulled that one out of the air as well. I don't quite get your problem with this becoming a religion. Look at the structure. To paraphrase the words of a founding father of the United States of America, we're giving you a theocracy, Madam, if you can keep it. That's right. He erected a freakin theocracy. What do you expect a theocracy to do, declare that God is dead? For crying out loud.
