Share, (not that it's important), but I have to disagree here. I think that Barry has a point. He was called a Purusha, and Purushas are celibate. So its not an issue of just keeping his private life private. It is deceptive. Also, Maharishi promoted the Purusha and Mother Divine lifestyle, it's not that this is something neutral, which is nobodies business. It's a life style promoted as especially evolutionary by the movement, which he is the head of. It's a bit different from normal celebrities, who are known for example for their ability as actors etc. Compare it to finding out that the pope is actually married, while all his priests have to live celebate. > Which is everyone's right IMHO. Even famous people in Hollywood and sports > and politics have a right to a private life. Though the media would have us > believe otherwise. And yes, famous people should be realistic about this > particular consequence of their fame. But still, they have a right to try > to have a private life. Even from their close friends if need be. If a > friend is really close, they will understand one's choice in the matter. If > not, then let the two of them work it out. Yes, privately, just between the > two of them. > > > I think when people are disappointed etc. about famous people and or people > in positions of authority, it's my opinion that they are dealing with > unresolved issues about their early caregivers and or from previous lives. > As such I think it's an opportunity to grow beyond looking for someone or > something superficially perfect in this world. I say superficially because > at the deeper levels, it is perfect. In my experience. > > > ________________________________ > From: turquoiseb > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Monday, February 4, 2013 7:26 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Serious Question > > >  > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long wrote: > > > > I'm very glad that Rajaram is a householder. > > Are you glad that he lied about it to pretty much > everyone in the TM movement for many years, including > his close friends like John Hagelin? > > > It makes the TMO more human somehow, more of the world > > with all its joys and sorrows, more connected to life > > with all its light and dark. > > Yeah, you say this NOW, now that it's come out that > he is married and has been for many years.
