Yep. The first time I met Maharishi was in Detroit,1973. I took the day off 
from teaching school to help drive some folks in his entourage from the airport 
to a hotel. A small group of Detroiters met him on the Tarmac to give him a 
flower, and then we followed him through the airport like a row of ducks to a 
car waiting to pick him up. As he was getting into the car I happened to be 
about two or three feet from him, eyeball to eyeball.  I didn't know anything 
about shaktipat but it was a direct hit that felt like an eternity. I was 
utterly exposed, he *knew* me, saw right into my being. It was a moment of 
recognition, two souls meeting. He claimed me as his own and I gave my heart to 
him.
