oh i see, since there is nothing but hearsay regarding the

does that just not matter, trumped by character assassination?
It's not considered "hearsay" when it's already been published in
newspapers Dawn. I'd say it's now "no longer hearsay" that old
Mahesh was not a "life long renunciate", but instead, a lifelong
liar and loved the ladies.
Here's a copy of the newspaper article with the woman in question,
Linda Pierce. If any one has a larger copy or PDF of the article, It'd
be nice to have it for the files section.
"This interview by Linda Pearce (nee Williams) is the most detailed
claim regarding Maharishi's sexual activities. In interviews from the
late sixties concurrent with the events Linda describes, Maharishi
describes himself as a renunciate.
What is not made clear is that at the time of speaking to News of The
World Linda had switched allegience to another Indian teacher Shri
Mataji. Mataji regarded Maharishi as a 'false Guru' and encouraged
former TM Teachers to speak out against Maharishi and encouraged
allegations of sexual impropriety. This is probably why Linda Pearce
chose to speak out in ths way in 1981.
David Fiske a former TM leader who knew Linda Pearce has said he did
not believe Linda would invent the story."
