Could you explain the difference in the above definition, And the life of Jesus the Messiah, of Judea. This would have been the exact definition of his group, And the people that followed him... Besides, being killed himself, most of the rest of his followers were killed as well. So, compared with the cult-like nature, which you inscribe to Maharishi the Yogi, he is kindergarten compared to the cult-like nature of Jesus' group, at that time. R.G.
