My limited experience was different. His sense of humor was strong and
contagious. His
lectures were long and detailed but he had a very powerful Gyani yogi thing

found him sincere, humble, and self effacing. Only one mans view I guess. To my
knowledge, he had no official position with the movement at the time. I had
been
meditating maybe 14 years and had taken several advanced techniques and his
words
resonated well.
