I just think that to call these women "victims" is pathetic. They weren't victims
of anything. They were adult women who were free to do whatever they
wanted. They weren't coerced. And as far as abuse of power is concerned, it
seems to me that if these incidents did occur, it was the women who held the
power over the guru, not the other way round.
