To His Royal Highness, The Beloved-ness Rick Archer & Friends, (sorry, I wasn't sure of your titles)
You Maharishi guys really crack me up. His Holiness the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi? His Majesty Maharaja Nader Raam? Governor this.. Siddha that. You guys sure love lofty titles and superlatives. I always think of titles as something you get when your boss doesn't want to give you a pay raise. Is that what's happening there? Or, maybe humility isn't one of your strong suits. Seriously, you guys define new perimeters of buffoonery. What a hoot. Have to admit Mr.Mahesh Varma, the self proclaimed Maharishi, was a great spiritual con-man though.... maybe the best. Have to give him credit for that. That caper with the flying thing... now that was really something. And for those nincompoops to actually believe they could fly?.... can you believe that? I mean it's right out of "The Emperor's New Clothes" story. Priceless. Makes me laugh just thinking about it. You can't dream up this kind of stuff. Well, the Big "M" could, but most of us can't. The con I liked best though was when he convinced those folks he would sell them personal enlightenment in the 90's. What was the price tag? a hundred thousand?... a million?... I forget. I heard over a hundred people fell for that one. LOL!!! A multi-million dollar heist.... and perfectly legal!!! Beautiful. Of course, the Big "M' will probably be best remembered for selling those hindu seed mantras for $2500 a pop. That's the bread & butter. Pure genius! Who would have ever thought you could dress some dime store mantras with a dog & pony puja ceremony ... and people would actually buy it? My hat's off to him. So, what I want to know is what is his new royal majesty going to do with all that money? Admit it... you want to know too. I've heard rumors of around $3 billion stashed in secret swiss bank accounts.... not too shabby guys. Time to split up the booty if you ask me. BTW, what do you call his new royalness behind his back?... come on you've got to have some kind of nickname for the boss. My guess is Osama Bin Raama. Am I close? Let's hope he spreads the wealth a little. I always heard the Mahesh was pretty tight fisted with a rupee. I don't mean to disparage the dearly departed, but that Maharishi guy could squeeze a quarter out of a nickel from what I've heard. I bet old "Deep-Pockets" Chopra is probably kicking himself now... it could have been all his. Ha! Tough luck Deepak, you had your chance. Anyway, thanks for the entertainment over the years guys. His most excellent-ness, Nadar Raam-Dum, has some pretty deep pockets to fill. My suggestion is to offer some kind of grifter technique... you know, call it something like the ancient auyervedic "Kriya-golden-pick-pocket" siddhi technique. I like that... has a ring to it, don't you think? Just say it appeared out of the ether or something. Better yet, say it was the Big "M''s final words. People love that kind of stuff. Anyway, good luck with your TV show, guys. Break a leg... and all that. BTW, are you going to have a telethon where we people can send you money. Remember, gotta think the way HE would think! Good luck.
