Of course. It just seems incredibly self-destructive for MMY to not only have a secret love affair with a worshiper and then spend his time bashing all the other worshipers. Maybe he was supposed to be building her up by implying that she wasn't one of those silly people? The whole thing seems unlikely. If MMY was so out-of-control as to have had multiple affairs, it seems likely that this thing would have been "common knowledge" throughout the TMO from day one, and not a rumor. Of course, Mia Farrow insists that he tried to sedduce HER, so I guess you can say that it WAS known about from Day One, but Ms Farrow's own description of what happened sounds reasonably innocent to me... > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Some here have wondered about Maharishi¹s motives > > in fostering his > > > increasingly bizarre schemes.
