I just *know* I'm gonna get flack for this, but I just can't resist.

First wonderful buzzphrase -- "ideal ladies." Call me sick, but I'm picturing a Barbie with no genitals dressed in a sari, walking several paces behind a Ken doll dressed in a white robe and wearing a crown. > In a Royal Proclamation to prepare for the celebration > of Vaisakhi Purnima of the Vedic Calendar... This celebration will hopefully provide a bit of a break for the hard-working Rajas and Rajinis and Mothers Divine (more on this buzzphrase later), in between telling heads of school systems that TM is not a religion. > ...His Majesty has proclaimed Vaisakhi Purnima as the > auspicious day of inauguration of Mother Divine Emerita > (MDE) and Divine Devi of the Global Country of World > Peace (DD-GCWP).

Can't be implying that there could be more than one "Divine," can we? :-) > ...who have blessed the world for at least 15 years or > who are 35 years of age or older." It IS an Old Nun's Club. I'm surprised there is not a "dryness test" as well as a "length of time test" as a criterion for membership. > His Majesty explained that it was always Maharishi's > wish that the ladies of Maharishi's Mother Divine would > be granted the title of "Mother Divine Emerita"... Hold on here just a moment. "Granted?" Doesn't that sorta imply that these "ladies" are second-class citizens who can only be "granted" things by their betters, the men? And isn't "granting" these "ladies" a more lofty title while keeping them far, far away from the real reins of power in the TMO a lot like "granting" your secretary the title of "administrative assistant" while keeping her a secretary, and at the same salary? > ...as a celebration of gratitude to their continuous > blessings on our worldwide movement and creating > Heaven on Earth. I'm curious as to how these "blessings" occur. Is it the mechanism of not having sex that confers the blessings, or some other mechanism?

Think Queens. (No, not the rajas in full regalia!). Fresh young meat for the rajas to create and perpetuate the royal lineages. Don't want any dried out 35 year olds for that. And certainly not someone who has been on the MD program for 15 + years -- the rajas know they are Wacko. No, fresh young innocent things who will hang on every profound word uttered by the rajas in the magnificent Court of King Tony. Young, fresh vibrant -- with the abilities to enable the aging rajas rise to the occasion and usher in the experience of real Heaven on Earth -- in the act of perpetuating the divine and royal lines. There will be two groups -- the Queens and the Consorts -- the latter basically a scholarship program. The work your way into Heaven program for less fortunate, but highly endowed and greatly talented young ladies. And one of the greatest barriers to Heaven on Earth will soon be melting -- the prohibitions against multiple wives! Soon each raj may have Queens and Consorts up the wazzo -- (well unfortunate image there.) Be all that you can be for your King. The Court of King Tony just wants a few Good Ladies.

Perhaps it was the "the Rajas are all very excited about this program" thang. :-) > Don't want any dried out 35 year olds for that.

There IS that. I posed the question of "succession" once before on this forum, and no one addressed it. As far as I know, there is no plan in place for who takes over when King Tony croaks...uh, I mean passes over into the Divine Splendor of Brahma- loka, where He will sit at the right hand of Maharishi and look down on all the gods and goddesses. > There will be two groups -- the Queens and the Consorts -- the > latter basically a scholarship program.

The Court of King Tony > just wants a few Good Ladies. Auditions starting at 8pm. Having become a complete addict of the "Kings" series on American TV, I can definitely see this happening. And I could see people here who have railed against extramarital sex (or sex, period) for years switching over and supporting it wholeheartedly, without missing a beat.
[FairfieldLife] Re: Fwd: Mother Divine Emerita and Divine Devi of the Global Country of World Peace
OK, now that I read the actual proclamation, I see it is a spoof. Hard to out spoof a spoof. (unfortunate choice of words there.) "this program is limited to ladies between 18 and 22 years of age. In special cases, ladies as young as 15 years of age will be considered depending on their country of residence at the time of application." Uh, why would country of residence be important there? Hmmm. > All interested ladies should know that their local Rajas are very, very > excited about this program They can barely hold it. > and are immediately available to personally answer all questions related to > this beautiful program. > If it is not immediately possible to speak with their local Raja, ladies are > requested to contact the Divine Devi of the Global Country of World Peace > office by email at urg...@...
