Mr. Williams, I'm not sure if you expect a response, but if you're asking or challenging me about my opinion of Judith's book, I'd reply that her narrative seemed plausible to me and made me fonder of the human guy that Maharishi was.
I'm confident that he was a monkey just like the rest of us, with unique qualities and favorable circumstances that brought him to the world's attention a few times. I don't think that he was a pervert or inordinately lecherous. I feel that he was mostly sincere in his self-appointed mission, and also sincere in amassing wealth and in passing on through his world government his ideas about how the world should be run if he were king (or more correctly, if he were kingmaker). I still consider him my guru. *** --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "richardatrwilliamsdotus" <richard@...> wrote: > > > > marekreavis: > > In a forum like FFL, however, where there are > > so many posters and lurkers and where over a > > hundred a messages a day are posted, it doesn't > > make practical sense to apply the charge of > > adoptive admission for anyone's failure to > > respond to what someone else posts... > > > Where I come from, silence usually indicates > agreement. > > In a conversation between a few guys over a beer > leaning over the back of a pickup, when someone > calls you a zoophilia pervert and infers that > he just had sexual relations with your mother, > if you don't speak up, folks just assume it's > true. > > Go figure. > > So when you didn't speak up, or even take up for > your own guru, I figured you agreed with the > others that MMY was a just selling mantras for > money in order to seduce young women. > > "The book by Judith would have been more > believable if there had been more details about > what the Maharishi actually had to say to her. > > It's a very slim paperback, just 219 pages with > about a dozen ripped-off photos, and really poor > ones at that. > > Apparently Judith actually took only three photos > of the Maharishi in the two years she was in the > TMO. > > What is more interesting to me was the part about > Ms Pittman and her position in the Maharishi's > so-called 'inner circle'. > > There is one photo of the Maharishi sitting at a > dinning room table with the inner circle that is > really humorous though.
