In the movie "Miami Blues," a Hare Krishna airport solicitor is killed 
there, and his compatriots sit around him whispering the names of 
Krishna as he dies, as it is thought in Vedic culture that the last 
thought that passes through one's mind is what determines the next 
birth: if you're eaten by a shark, the thought of that shark so 
dominates your awareness that you are born as a shark.

The Vedic idea that the last thought determines birth is repeated in 
many stories -- but an important point is that usually how one lives 
determines how one thinks at the last moment -- Ajamila was a lucky 
exception:

Exactly MD. Or the agenda of the fellow publishing it here on FFL.
Reading the article one will see that the claims stems from leaders 
in the Hare Krisha movement itself who where quick in dropping this 
nonsense to the newspapers. Hardly a surprise. It must have been 
difficult for them to digest that the press, notably television, was 
showing extensive footage of George Harrison with Maharishi in the 
week after Harrison's death - and to my knowlegde - nothing of George 
and Prabupad or him together with the Hare Krishnas whatsoever.

Harrison persuaded the Beatles to donate 1 mill. pounds. (roughly 9 
million dollars in todays currency). The others in the group balked 
at the idea at first but agreed. No talk or press on that. The Hare 
Krishnas however jumped on any little opportunity to make headlines 
and connect Harrison to their movement.

Any examples Sal ? Probably not. You have never, ever heard Maharishi 
use a celebrity for his own/the movements ends.
 
If you want to unlock that key, great intuition is necessary.

Sources are in abundance if you look at advertising. Emotional 
connections - the glue in advert language - are successful to the 
degree that they are suggested. Pucchini never drove a Japanese 
import; but todayÕs drives find it comforting to know that skidding on 
wet pavement is safer if performed in a Honda while listening to 
Turandot.

Bullshit.  You were obviously not around for the Merv
wave.  I was, driving Clint Eastwood around and letting
him in to Maharishi's hotel room the night before the
show.  I sat there and watched Clint graciously say No
to Maharishi's rather ungracious attempts to have him
prostelytizing for the TM movement and/or using his 
name to sell TM.  And I saw it many, many, many times
during those days.

There were even a few of us in L.A. who specialized in
teaching TM to celebrities, with the express condition
that we never reveal who they were and that they had
learned TM.  They had learned very quickly that if they
learned through the normal channels they would be hit
up for money and their names associated with the TMO.

I did, too.  I gave an intro lecture one night there
to Raquel Welch, who was so understated that I didn't
know it was her until she came up and thanked me after-
wards and invited me out for coffee to ask a few more
questions privately.  Nice lady...much, much smarter
than most gave her credit for.  I don't know if she
started or not; she expressed reservations about being
associated publicly with TM, so I turned her over to
my friend who specialized in such things.  He, being
a man of his word, would never say who he instructed.

> I never knew of any of them being hit up for money 
> or publicity.

In those days it was mainly being hit up for publicity,
being asked to attend public TM functions, say that
they practiced TM on talk shows, etc.  A lot of them
didn't like it much.  I didn't like it much, either,
so I never did any of this.

Very Interesting Unc, 
  I've always suspected that Clint was a person of integrety. Is there
anyone else (that you can mention) that turned Maharishi down?

Clint struck me a really decent guy.  I don't really have
any other stories about celebrity TMers (in or out of the
closet) that I can share, but I can share a great one about
Clint.  That night before the Merv show he came to Maharishi's
hotel to meet him privately, which is really the only reason
he had agreed to be on his neighbor Merv's TV show (Clint 
doesn't *do* talk shows).  

So that night I got stuck with "door duty," which is not
exactly the picnic it sounds like.  I was supposed to stand
at the door of the hotel room and let in the people whom
Maharishi wanted to see, when he wanted to see them, and
to keep everyone else out.  So I'm standing there with a 
bunch of people sitting around on the floor of this Beverly
Hills hotel, waiting to see if they'll ever get in, and up
walks Clint.  I've been told to expect him, so I offer to
show him right in.

But he looks at the pile of shoes outside the door and he
looks at me and he says, "Barry, are we supposed to take
our shoes off?"  And I look up at Clint (he really IS that
tall) and say, "Well, it's kind of a traditional Indian
thing, Clint."  So he gives me one of those Dirty Harry
glares, and then sheepishly reaches down and takes off his
cowboy boots.

And the whole reason for his hesitation?  The reason he
didn't want to take off his boots?  Clint Eastwood, the
number one box office star in the world at that point,
has these enormous holes in his socks.  He's got one big
toe sticking out, and other holes all over.  The socks
are more holes than socks.

I laugh, he laughs, and I suggest that he dump the socks,
too, and he does, and goes into the room barefoot.  I got 
relieved as door guard later, and got to go in and see 
some of the interaction between the two of them, and he 
looked quite comfortable.  But I still think it's one of 
the sweetest things I've ever seen, this supposedly big-
time actor running around with big holes in his socks and 
getting busted for it when he goes to meet Maharishi.  
I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for him because
of that moment.

For that kind of deal to be effective it has to be mutually
benificial. I doubt MMY would have cared if it was beneficial to Clint.
Appearing on Merv was more than sufficient.

Never said it wasn't. But why would Clint be more a person of

This is true.  A lot of the "hitting up" back then came
from tacky individuals, as opposed to a tacky organization.
The officially tacky organization came later.  :-)

[FairfieldLife] Re: George Harrison

2005-05-30 Thread Robert Gimbel
I wonder what would have happened had the Beatles gone along with 
Maharishi's desire to spread this knowledge as quickly as possible. 
I am sure Maharishi was very excited at the prospect of accelerating 
the teaching of this knowledge as he is now, and always has been.
The Beatles had tremendous power in those days to influence millions 
of people in my generation.
Instead, they were swept away by rumor and inuendo;
 world consciousness was not ready for that purification at that 
time, with Viet Nam, and the assasinations of RFK and MLK.  
According to Cynthia Lennon's account, of that time period, John was 
doing well in India, better than in years, and upon his l India, got 
involved with Yoko Ono, and started his addiction to heroin.
And so it goes...

Didn't Harrison donate some large mansion in London to the Hare Krishnas? I
don't think he ever gave a significant material donation to the TMO.

No. That’s why I said “I don’t think”. There may have been a private cash donation, but there was never, to my knowledge, anything public, like his donations to the Hare Krishnas.

Did you see any of the Merv Griffin shows? Every one of them was a celebrity
parade.

Interesting. I was at the Gayley (LA) Ctr for a few years and saw quite a

never knew of any of them being hit up for money or publicity.

You've really got to be joking, Don.  Many "ordinary" people were  hit up for $$, back when we were a part of it all.  Ever heard of the DAC--the Development Advisory Council I think it stands for?  Just basically a group set up to separate people from their $$.  Bobby Warren and Mario Orsati were the two I remember most clearly from that. Many others I'm sure could tell similar stories.

Well actually I heard that one big reason Merv distanced himself so quickly from TM was that after the shows people were hitting him up in droves. Not sure if it was official TMO policy back then to do that or not.

Paul Mason is correct in saying that Harrison did the conscert more for 
his own career.
However, he did want to do it also to give NLP publicity and asked the 
movement to organize it. 3 people in Vlodrop/London worked fulltime on 
this for months. 
Harrison was nervous about the concert since he had not performed live 
in many years. However, it was a huge success with Ringo at the drums 
on some songs. At the reception after the concert Harrison was very 
happy and in bliss, and was presented with a cake-ceremony by Jeoffrey 
Clements and others from NLP.

Haven't heard that one for a while - thanks. 

 Is it just me or does any one else think that after Harrison took up with 
Indian ways - and after the Beatles' break-up and him producing his solo albums 
- his music did come across as a bit - what's the word? - a bit of a downer? 
He's supposed to have found God so shouldn't his songs be all light and joy?

Amen to everything you say here. 

 By the way, re the "Old Brown Shoe" track I posted:  Back in the day I said to 
a friend once, "I really, really like that new Beatles' single "The Ballad of 
John and Yoko". Her face curled into a sneer and she said to me: "That's the 
commercial side." The B-side was "Old Brown Shoe" which she was implying was 
the one that true aficionados would prefer. 
 

 What amused me was that I really liked both songs. And I've always thought it 
a revealing insight into the snobbishness of those who are devoted to rock - 
which after all is pop(ular) music. Later I realised that whereas to me "rock" 
was just something I enjoyed coming out of a radio or after feeding coins into 
a jukebox, to my friend (who read the music mags assiduously) it was more akin 
to a religion and her snooty attitude reflected her enthusiasm and commitment. 
There's nothing wrong with a bit of snobbishness - even if it does look 
slightly ridiculous to those who have other interests.
 

 Yes - John Lennon, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison: what they would 
be doing today is something I've often wondered.

 Paul became the second-most boring because he started pandering not only to 
other people's ideas, but to the lowest common denominator of other people's

 Ringo was always a "sleeper agent" of a rock star, and so although his music

So??
 Ksrisna is the MAIN character and focus in the Gita, which 
Maharishi chose to highlight with some of the keys to enlightenment, 
which Harrison read (Maharishi's commentary) way back in the 60's.

Harrison's type of relationship to krishna was clearly based on
bhativedanta's bhakti version/translation of the gita, not mmy's.  If
you've been on ttc you've seen the tape in which mmy states his
negative opinion of the ISKON movt.  To say they're essentially the
same because both gurus has commented on the gita is rather silly.

Then you don't understand what Krisna is. You think it is a 
philosophy,  a practice, a belief. It is a state of consciousness. 
Krishna was Arjuna's Divine Self riding in the Chariot of Life.
Since you mentioned Bhakti, that is the same as Maharishi's 'God 
consciousness', devotion to God. Through TM Harrison (and from his 
own good karma from the past) reached consistent GC (Krishna 
Concsiousness) and like anyone in GC feels strongly the impulse of 
love and devotion to the higher Divine Self (Krishna).
This is what Arjuna did also.

Nothing I've ever heard of MMY's teaching says a
TMer can't be a servant of Krishna (or Jesus or
Muhammad or...).

TM sadhana is, you know, TM.  That's the meditation
practice.

Anything else is up to the individual, especially
one's choice of object of devotion.

Judy's pt is true for a "tmer", but offworlds wasn't describing
harrison as a tmer but the truest of devotees of MMY.  Having
coordinated several CICs, I assure you that Vaj is right - you'd never
get accepted to take the sidhis course (much less be considered a
devotee of mmy) if you indicate an affiliation of any kind with the
hare krishnas.

Non sequitur, as I'm sure you realize.

*Any* practice that is considered to interfere with
TM practice would be a no-go.

But as you know, there is no area on the forms for
"object of devotion."

Let's refresh our memories of the context, since
Vaj keeps snipping it.

Here was the quote Vaj offered as proof that George
was no longer a devotee of MMY:

"My life belongs the Lord Krishna now. I'm just the servant of  
Krishna. I've never been so humble in all my life, and I feel 
great."

And here's the quote OffWorld provided to which Vaj
was responding:

"Maharishi only ever did good for us, and although I have
not been with him physically, I never left him."

I don't see any obvious incompatibility there (nor is
there any mention of ISKCON in Vaj's quote).

For that matter, MMY has never encouraged devotion,
in the sense of worship, of himself.

I don't know whether George switched his allegiance
from MMY to ISKCON, and in so doing definitively
rejected MMY, as Vaj claims.  My point is that Vaj is
going to have to do a lot better than he has so far if
he wants to prove that is anything more than "unfounded
rumor," if not "desperate disinformation."

Vaj has conveniently flexible standards for proof.

The context I'm responding to is in the title of this thread which was
written by offworlds - "George Harrison, most devoted to MMY of all
devotees".  It's absurd.  

I don't think george rejected MMY, but clearly his main spiritual
allegiance was with iskon if it was with anything.  George wasn't a
rejecting type, remember he had a number 1 hit with a chorus featuring
of halleluias and hare krishnas.  I'm not saying this as a tmer, but
as a beatles fanatic.  (Imagine a hit with a hare krishna chorus in
george bush's america)

You don't need no love in
You don't need no bed pan
You don't need a horoscope or a microscope
The see the mess that you're in
If you open up your heart
You will know what I mean
We've been polluted so long
Now here's a way for you to get clean

By chanting the names of the lord and you'll be free
The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see

Awaiting on You All by George Harrison, (with ridiculous phil spector
overproduction).

See, if a "TB" came out with a silly rationalization
like this, you'd hear the horselaughs from here to
Rishikesh.

But somehow it's just fine when TMO critics do it.

Yes, overblown to say the least.

But that's what Vaj has been claiming, and that's what
I was addressing that you were responding to.

It's a pretty awful lyric, if you ask me.

Being 'considered' a devotee (by others), and BEING a devotee are 
entirely different things. Harrison was truly devotee, and visited 
Vlodrop in the late 1990's even after all the other practices.

Anyway, as far as I know, they do not tell you you can't take the 
sidhis, but in certain cases that involve techniques, they advise a 
space before taking siddhis etc.

But isn't it only until a space of time has passed, whereby 
different techniques do not get mixed and stirred together. It makes 
total sense and is rational to me.

Nobody cares what people do with their time. Maharishi doesn't care. 
He only advises in rational fashion. He doesn't care if you don't 
like his rational. He will not condemn your character for that, as 
many here like to condemn Maharishi's based on their childish gossip-
mongering.

There is absolutely no incompatibility there, only in the minds of 
those who are hell bent on some agenda. Harrison HIMSELF said in 
another quote that (paraphrasing) that he didn't appreciate all the 
division and comparing of gurus that goes on. He thinks it is sub-
standard behaviour. He made this very clear. So for Vaj to use that 
devious method puts him in the very category that Harrison did not 
appreciate and avoided. Its just not appropriate behaviour for a 
yogi or an aspirant. Vaj is as far away from being a Buddhist as it 
is possible to be. His Buddhist (or other) teachers would be gravely 
dissappointed in him.

Is TM something that Krishna worshipers aren't allowed to practice?

Without direct intervention by MMY, of course. And of course, 
Harrison wasn't trying to get on some advanced coursea nyway -- he 
was visiting his old friend and mentor/guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

I am officially giving 100 to 1 odds if anyone wants to apply to the 
TMO for a course, as per the above, and they think they'll get 
accepted.

Any takers?

...and I'm giving 1,000 to 1 if you write down "Scientology".

Of course I was only referring to the tune.

How can you possibly plagiarize a puja?

Apply for a TMO course, 2. When you fill out the forms, place in the 'other practices' area the abbreviation "ISKCON". 3. Let us know what happens.

I wonder if having Hari Krishnas around you chanting the Maha 
Mantra while you are "Checking out"is considered off the 
program.

Maybe. But what is even more OTP is the fact that he didn't leave the TMO any of his life-savings, but chose instead to give it to his (gasp!) family.

 *Any* practice that is considered to interfere with

 But as you know, there is no area on the forms for

The puja parts aren't plagiarized - just the tune, according to the court
case. The puja parts are traditional and not exclusive to the TMO.
