No one was casting aspersions or trying to score points against
Maharishi, certainly not me; and Curtis has explained his motivations
clearly.
It is clear that Maharishi was always more concerned with making his
point than being factually accurate. The mission was what was
important, everythi

"Sensitive Prick" has a nice ring to it as well.

He didn't use that phrase. I see if I can dig up his exact words.
As far as I remember, he had never seen Guru Dev before, he only knew
that he was a great saint that h
I stand corrected. I wrote this before I read your friendly exchange

Integrating the whole of all the moving parts of a memorable event
into one's consciousness is a gestalt experience relevant to how one
feels and may or may not reflect an accurate account of objective
"reality." Facts fade on the level of feeling. Unfortunately, an
opportunity to cast aspersions o

This is a point of view that resonates with me, too. Guru Dev was the
love of Maharishi's life and his rememberances of the instances of
such an overwhelming relationship subject to confabulation.
But the two versions are reconcilable, if I remember correctly.
Didn't Maharishi say that when h
as i recall, when the Maharishi saw Guru Dev at his ashram it was in
a slightly different context than this first sighting during a
procession, that of joining Guru Dev's organization, and confirming
by the headlights shining for a moment on Guru Dev's face, that the

That is what is different between these examples. If you actually met
