Well you got me again - I never heard that one either. Of course there were always the relationship rumors, i.e. - Maharishi was supposed to have said all sorts of things about relationships like don't have sex unless you are married, don't have sex if you are married (cuz you can't get enlightened if you do) and so on.
I had a long argument with a three-piece suit governor at MIU when I was on staff there. He was visiting, wearing his three piece at dinner. I was in my grungy kitchen clothes (I refused to wear a tie when not working as did all the kitchen staff). This guy started talking about how Maharishi had said one should never marry a foreign woman, something about the energy of the cultures being too different. He was so sure of himself and so arrogant and condescending and almost all the people at our table were listening with rapt attention. He said that in fact Maharishi had said that ideally one should marry someone from your own neighborhood where you grew up. I was the only naysayer and I go so goddamn mad at him, partly because there was this Israeli woman I was smitten with who was agreeing with him. I was really furious. The Israeli lady would go on to marry an Australian, so I reckon she changed her mind. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seekliberation" <seekliberation@...> wrote: > > well, turning into animals wasn't a very widespread one, it's just one that I > remember one course participant on my TMSP course mention. > > While at MIU/MUM I also remember: > > -while I was at Prep Purusha, it was frowned upon to read while taking a dump > (something I almost always did).
