Simple. It runs contrary to the image that Maharishi and the TM organization have tried to paint of him for many, many years. And not only him -- Raja Ram, "King Tony," whatever you want to call him -- ALL of the people in the TM organization you were sup- posed to admire the most and place on the highest pedestal. That includes Guru Dev, Maharishi himself, the guys on Purusha, and the women on Mother Divine.

Note that Mother Divine...uh... I mean Barbie does not even have *nipples*? Face it, this *IS* how the TM organization has attempted to characterize its "best and brightest" over the years. They have been presented as if celibacy were not only their lifestyle, but as if no other lifestyle were *possible* for them. It couldn't be...they have no genitals.

So the "shocker" in all of this is NOT that Da King has a couple of rugrats. It's that he had the tools with which to create them.

And now people know that not only does it have pokey- out parts, his Barbie of choice has someplace to *put* the pokey-out parts. Shocking. book relating Vedic concepts
