But whoops, whats this in the newsletter I see about how the costs of setting up the satellite broadcasts, the newsletter and all the other paraphernalia is more than the money coming in, so don't forget you premies, keep donating, ohh and remember that as Jean-Michel points out in a post below, not a single $ of it goes to support the $10,000-$20,000 per day he needs to survive on while touring.
Isn't life blissful when you only have to work part-time and earn even more than lawyers and plumbers, think that would even get my confidence up to unheard of levels.

Ohh and while you're at it don't forget the engraved trinkets on the Visions ~Site, there's even a Pashmina shawl at $275. I notice though that the only thing sold out is the wooden hash box/jewellery box!

'Elan Vital does not compensate Maharaji financially or in any other way for any services he provides'

Oh I get it ... very sneaky, ...very Rawatian. What they're saying is - they don't compensate him for his 'services'.

They just compensate him 'cos he tells them to.

Maharajiji is so innocent, surrounded by incompetence,
but then Rawat, sir, your right royal holiness, or whatever it is you think of yourself as, depending on the whim of your moodd, what does THAT say about you.

I mean knowledge is supposed to fill ones life completely

So, of course it can be a lila.But all the time?
The solution:
m has millions of followers and he is testing with his lila every single one.
That takes a lot of bottles and reveals his endless love and selfless sacrifice to the one who knows.

Message:
Michael- I have been puzzled about an incident that occurred in Miami during the early 80's, and was wondering if you could comment on it.

A woman from Wash. DC came down to Miami to do service for maharaji...her name was Midge, and she was a bookkeeper, who was offered a job working with m's books...

She told a number of friends that at one point she couldn't reconcile a figure in the books....she asked a number of people what the figures referred to...no one could answer her questions, and finally someone said that she should call Michael Dettmers, as he was the one that would know...

According to Midge, when she called you and you told her what the money was used for, she became very upset....she went for a long walk on the beach, and had a long talk with herself....it put her through such a crisis of faith, that she didn't think she could continue with the work...

She didn't stay much longer,returned to DC, but continued to stay involved with maharaji.
She said that what you told her shocked her so much that it changed her pereception of maharaji forever.(Not that you freaked her out, but the information did.) It gave her big doubts, and it took all she had to try and ignore it and stay on the straight and narrow with maharaji.
She wouldn't tell any friends what it was, but that it shook her to her roots...

Do you remember this incident?
Can you tell us what it was all about?

I'm not asking you to violate any non-disclosure statements, but is there something you can say about it?

Thanks,
La-ex

If this woman had been looking at the books all day, everyday, the totals were already visible to her.
the thing that sent her into shock, and her long soul searching walk alone on the beach was not what she saw in the numbers. the numbers were before her.
it apparently was something she did NOT see, in terms of what it went FOR, or what it came FROM, and had to ask about. the fact that it was not labeled, only entered into the figures and computed, is what triggered her asking.
and when no one knew, she was told to go to you. Obviously, you must have been able to tell her, given her subsequent behavior.

Just speculating on the effect your answer had on her, I am wondering if it might have been crime related. I wonder if it was drug money, either incoming or outgoing. I wonder if it was child support to that reputed illegitimate offspring he allegedly begat. But then again, I know that you have told us that nothing illegal went on during your watch....

can you think of categories of entries that would have been put on the books while intentionally not recording their source, or for what they were spent?? Were there whole sectors of such income and outgo, that were kept unlabeled, but known??

This woman's coming to you might have been a one- time thing, on your memory's side, but then again--she was a bookkeeper, and she was involved in finance, and she left Miami after this realization, so you must have had some awareness of her, in your circles...

Can anyone give us a name? or a physical description? or perhaps where she did her service? a place? Something else Michael can connect her to?

Janet-a few people have speculated on what it is that the woman might have seen in the books that would have upset her so much...

illegal things like drugs would never be entered-they would be entirely off the books...

something like an abortion would also obviously be off the books, and be hidden, and performed in some other country...

my guess is that it was either some outrageous bill for something like liquor,although that bill would have probably been easy to figure out...or...something like payment for someone's expenses like monica or someone else...

That person was obviously not X-rated, and I guess what she saw was the usual figures you can see in EV's books.

EV does pay for Rawat's private expenses when he's on tour. Like if he comes and stay at his 'residence' in Miami, EV (DLM) US would pay for his expenses, food, cars, etc.

Do you have any idea of the figures involved ? I guess she just saw this, something like $10,000 or 20,000 a day. Lots of people would have serious 'doubts' when confronted to these figures. I've seen them in France.

Maybe she wouldn't earn in a year what Rawat spends in a day !

And she had probably heard all the satsangs of the people like Yoram asking for money, saying that there is no money left, that m can't go on tour because of the financial situation etc.

Like what is the possible justification Yoram pulled out to ask for money to buy the new G V ? The 'old' G IV was already way beyond what's needed to make some conferences here and there .....

Message:
I know everyone's probably jacked of talking about the election and recount etc, but I just wanted to discuss a bit about the discussions now going on about the Constitution etc....

One of the things I have noticed from listening to the news is this recurring topic about the American Constitution and this constant reinforcing of how 'it works' and how much faith everyone has in it, and I even heard one guy saying about America being the greatest democracy on earth (I must admit I have a problem with this claim, as I don't believe any country is a true democracy and I think any claims that your politicians are truly representative of the people, is dubious considering only about half your eligible voting population actually shows up .... )

Throughout this whole Florida recount issue, there seems to be this constant reinforcing about, despite the mess, how 'untouchable' the Constitution is, how 'it works', etc etc. Do you think that whenever something like this electoral crisis happens here, there is some sort of denial or fear that maybe the American Constitution isn't what it's all cracked up to be - hence the constant discussion about it? (nb. I'm not making any comparisons with other country's constitutions - and at least your Constitution resides in your own country, not like Oz's which is still housed in London - ha-ha!). I just find it fascinating how the American Constitution is put on so high a pedestal, and there seems to be a reluctance to diss it. Is this just my observation? What do you American exes think?

Oh yeah, Maharaji's a corrupt bastard.

The US has the Constitution, and England has it's monarchs. They serve the some of the same purposes, to preserve stabiiity during transfers of power between competing elites. The alternative is, frankly, meltdown. According to Paul Kahn, who wrote a book attempting to find a consistent argument for accepting the Constitution as valid and binding, we should not look too closely at it's legitimacy, because we'll find that things are pretty shaky. All the same, the system of rights that it spells out are critical. So there is a good reason for honoring it on it's own merits. If we ever manage to produce a wise population we can dispense with it, and govern the country through a direct democracy.

Pardon my jest Scott, but it is not so much that England has Monarchs -- rather it is Monarchs that have an English Kingdom and English subjects.

Damned undignified, if you ask me (but they won't).

Seriously, there is a British Constitution -- it may be studied, for example, thro' school or University courses. But it is not codified into a document (or even all written down), which makes it difficult to consult and argue about.

One thing the British Constitution does say (at least, so people seem to agree) is that what is not forbidden is allowed -- unless something has been explicitly legislated against, it may lawfully be done. I understand that in countries which enjoy a written constitution, even the otherwise lawful activities of the legislature may be ruled unconstitutional and so be disallowed.

Incidently, the European Convention on Human Rights has recently been codified into English Law, giving us some documentary constitutional protection of that sort which has long been enjoyed by citizens in other countries.

A Good Idea, no doubt. I just hope it does not cause us to lose sight of the fact that our freedoms are founded on the struggles of our forebears, and preserved by our own willingness to fight in our turn... 'The price of freedom is eternal vigilance'.

John:

I agree that a Constitution also has the function of codifying rights and obligations, and I *almost* pointed out that England *does* have an unwritten Constitution contained in precedent, or 'stare decisis.' But the function of a monarch in a 'Constitutional Monarchy' is to maintain the legitimacy of the state during periods of crisis for different administrations. As Martin Lipset has observed, since the US has no Constitutional Monarch our written constitution serves that purpose.

Martin also suggested that one way to tone down some of the political strife in the Balkans would be to bring back some of the Monarchs to establish Constitutional Monarchies in those countries.

Most people have no special knowledge of Constitutional law and so, any plebeian argument that can successfully cite the Constitution is usually given as the end-all. Often it will succeed, if it goes unchallenged; often it does! Ergo its utility. :)

I think Americans are rightfully proud of the Constitution, but I don't think the document itself is what is held as sacred. To me, what is held as sacred are the events of history that led to its adoption. All the history of Law based on the Constitution -- the process of coming by those decisions -- that is held sacred; many feel it separates us from anarchy or tyrrany or some other abstract evil :)

The Electoral College is an amazing structure that delivers what it was designed to deliver: a distribution of power, State by State. It will never be done away with, so long as there are many small states. Talk of doing away with the Electoral College is usually perilously misinformed.

People sometimes talk about how the Constitution is 'untouchable' and 'sacred' when their interpretation of part of it supports their position. They say these things even though there are 27 amendments to the Constitution (first 10 are the Bill of Rights). Some of the talk about it sounds almost religious, I think it's strange. Some people want to think it's 'perfect', whatever that's supposed to mean.

The United States is actually a democratically elected republic and is less of a democracy than other countries.

Besides only half of eligible voters voting, not everyone can vote.

Hi TD,

I'm no US Constitution scholar but I believe the Constitution and it's amendments, bill of rights do have some serious flaws.

It's very difficult to make any changes to it. First, 2/3 of the Congress/Senate have to approve any proposed changes. THEN, 3/4 (I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong it could also be 2/3) of the 50 states must also approve the change.

That how the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) was shot down--it was a political thing. Scholars of the constitution have many different interpretations which leads to very muddy waters. Besides, if a case is brought to the U.S. Supreme Court which requests a judgment or opinion, the resulting opinions are based on the views of the Justices, who have a lifetime appointment. (That's another thing I'd like to see changed in some way). They're political appointees, why be lifers?

That's why parts of the Constitution render it a subjective document rather than one which clearly outlines the rights of the people. Yet we are taught it is a sacred document.

The electoral college as far as I'm concerned is no longer needed. Yet I've heard that every year someone in the Congress or Senate tries to propose a change to repeal it.

There's no reason for us, in this day and age not to go with a popular vote. Some uniformity in ballots might help with that, too.

I'm very weary of the whole thing. When I turn on CNN, I watch for a few minutes, get sick to my stomach and turn it off! There are so many opinions of the current situation, and interpretations of what is constitutional in this election. Yuck, already!!!

No legal scholar,
Cynthia

Message:
Thanks everyone for your points here. It's made me understand a bit more about it and the attitude towards it. It's not so much the Constitution as a legal document, but more what it represents and the way it came about through history. Actually, using a popular culture example, I think the film The People vs Larry Flynt probably illustrated that very well - in that the Constitutional Amendment was used to save more than just a porn mag, but free speech, which in that case conflicted so much with the Christian ideology which is so dominant here. It's almost like you need the American Constitution to protect you all from each other, as opposed to protect the US from the rest of the world ....

I think so many countries are dealing with outdated archaic systems based on 100 or more years ago, hence things like the electoral vote now seeming redundant. But there is this hesitancy to change which I can't understand. The fact that Australia didn't choose to become a Republic this year still astounds me to this day - but it was fear of change that did it.

One thing I have wondered is why countries are still run by politicians now, when countries really have become far more like corporations themselves existing in a competitive marketplace, and should have people who are at least qualified in the area that they're looking after. The political advisor has probably more influence on what happens in a particular area, and yet often we don't even know who they are. I don't know if in the US it is like this, but our MPs swap and change portfolios regardless of their experience. One minute they're Minister for Defence. The next minute they're Minister for the Environment. I don't know of a Federal Treasurer that we've had that has ever had even a minimal accounting degree.

Anyway thanks again for your input on this....

Supreme court justices are lifetime so they do not have to worry about being influenced by politics or being re-elected or appointed. Many justices have gone their own way once appointed. Part of the strength of states rights lies in the requirements for amendments to the constitution. If you want a simple majority then lets eliminate state and local governments, that is the effective result of making every state ruled by a national vote. It is an imperfect document but it is written to force slow change and co-operation or consent.

I think this could be very well be Matthias' intention.
And as I have experienced, those who are still with him
anxiously play the game of not being discoverd.
They lie about the past, because it is agya, maybe there is the concept behind , that if M asks this of you, all the past will be wiped out and you can start from new.
I remember in the beginning of the 90ties Rajaji was touring and
giving strange examples about truth like:
'when itis day and I say it's night, it is also true because on the other side of the earth it is still day.'
I didn't undrstand it at that time why he was trying to relativate such things.
But now I know that it was a part of the campaign to make the premies professional liars and to corrupt their characters which
partially worked pretty well.

You must have been reading one of Maharaji's websites....that's where the real lies are.

Come on back, if you have the courage.

If I was 'guess who', I would rewrite the anne johnson piece just a little.
Instead of saying she was fired because of 'fanatical devotion'
(which makes it seem like that was HER fault), she was only listening and following the clear direction of the one who was the almightly lord in person.

She was fired because rawat would not come clean with her that he was not in fact what he had so adamently told us with his crown on.
You know all this of course.

Some reading of The Hans Jayanti 'conference', bah.

From ELK: New Delhi, 8 November 2000

Things were rocking this afternoon on the final day of Hans Jayanti 2000. It was an event filled with music, culminating in a duet with Maharaji and Dayalata. Amidst virtuoso performances and more East-West fusion there was a strong and vital focus on the nature and need for a master.

Maharaji talked with passion about the role of the master. He stated that the master was only significant for people when they felt a need for Knowledge.

But first the MC had welcomed the crowd on the actual anniversary of Sri Hans Ji Maharaj's birthday. Sri Maharaj Ji's love of music is well known and she said that we would this afternoon witness one of India's living musical legends, Ustad Bismillah Khan, a master of the sahanai, an instruments which sounds like a reedy saxophone. She said he had played for Sri Maharaj Ji and that he could melt stone with his music.

And she was not far wrong. Maharaji acknowledged his totally absorbing performance with a namaste greeting and later commented that the effortless performance of the astonishing tabla player could only have come from years of practice.

Bismillah Khan's soaring, swirling music rose to compelling crescendos and then veered magically away into heart-searing lyricism. To put a name on it would be an injustice - but Indian jazz might be as close as you would get.

Charananand, well known as Maharaji's first ambassador to the West, addressed the crowd drawn from 58 nations around the globe: 'In my life, I have observed that all human beings are the same, whether they are Hindu, Muslim, Sikh or Christian. And what is important is that in this human life you can experience Knowledge. Sri Maharaj Ji and Maharaji both delivered this message.'

Charananand was singing as well as speaking and joined the international band as a back-up vocalist. Dayalata sang on stage and led a version of 'Downpour of the holy name' that joined the assembled musicians into an almost orchestra-sized ensemble - with the rock band alternating with the Indian musicians who in turn gave way to a chorus of Indian female singers.

Maharaji noted the significance of the his father's anniversary pointing out what a rare and precious occasion it actually was.

He went on to observe with irony that both the words 'guru' and 'master' have been devalued, moving into everyday speech. Flying into Indian airspace, he said he had heard pilots addressing each other as: 'guru ji'.

He told a story about a family, in which all family members but the husband had Knowledge. He was illustrating the point that it is only when you see the need and importance of the master that a relationship with him has any meaning. The husband, in question - and Maharaji jokingly remarked that it was a 'fictitious family' - resented the connection the rest of his family had with their master. That is until he was put into a situation where his life hung in the balance and he needed the master's help. At that point he was more than happy to acknowledge his importance.

He spoke of the transformation that ensues when a person focuses on the goal of life. It is all too easy, he said, to pat yourself on the back when things seem to be going well, but cautioned how suddenly the picture can change when fortunes are reversed.

As human beings we all need support in our lives. He pointed out that as we grow up, this is provided by our family. But there comes a point in our lives when we need to fill an emptiness we feel inside.

He encouraged his audience to know and recognise that there is a power and strength that resides in the heart. And that the quest to experience this has always been acknowledged by saints and masters. Their message has always been that we should fulfil our lives and that it is possible for everyone to find the heaven within that they are seeking.

Maharaji used the metaphor of lighting a lamp within oneself to illustrate the powerful transformation that happens to someone seeking to fulfil their life. He described how his own father, Sri Hans Ji Maharaj, had talked of his search for fulfilment. Sri Maharaj Ji had searched and searched so much, and he had studied the scriptures, such as the Bhagavad Gita, and travelled all over but had not been able to find anyone able to enlighten him, until he received Knowledge from his master. Then he said: 'Now I experience what I was never able to understand before.'

Maharaji described how Sri Maharaj Ji had had so much trust in his master, but this was the trust of experience not a blind faith.

He talked of the effort and planning that had gone into the preparations for Hans Jayanti, emphasising the need to take good care of all those who attend events. He said he had suggested more frequent and smaller programmes. And this new strategy would start with his upcoming visit to Nepal later this month, and would continue into the new year here at Sri Sant Yogashram in February.

That the audience gathered today at the ashram was 90,000 strong was significant, he said, because that is the number of people that are currently waiting around the world to receive Knowledge. He said there was a need to train people [ is he looking to hire initiators again] to give support to this level of interest in his teachings, and that it wasn't just his effort that was required, but the audience's too.

Promising that more entertainment was to follow, Maharaji left the stage. He returned soon after with Dayalata, saying that she was the singer, not him. But he actually proved that singing runs in the family as they both led the audience in a wonderful serenade.

It was another of those Maharaji evenings, which could have gone on forever. But when it ended, it went out in pyrotechnic style -a sky-filling explosion of fireworks.

Bang, beats the crap out of the Sydney Olympics ceremony. Bunch of morons. Anyone knows what is his wife up to? What about Pufftaji [rajaji] and the rest of the little maggots?

Message:
I thought the Hindu stuff was all outdated 'baggage' in the Maha's eyes?

So he now states that he's of the opinion that '... the master was only significant for people when they felt a need for Knowledge'

What he forgets to mention is that, in the real world, masters of their subject do not demand unending devotion from their students. If this so-called 'knowledge' requires a seeker to spend the rest of their life in subservience to the 'master's' view of life, then it CAN'T be worth studying. Such a price is far too great. It's not knowledge. It's indoctrination (at least, in the Maha's package it is). A true teacher would rather his/her students progress AWAY from any dependency on the teacher. How many original thinkers has the Maha's teaching produced? Judging by the worryingly conformist posts at ELK, no original thinkers at all. Just unoriginal re-gurgitators who parrot his spiel as if they didn't have a mind of their own.


And Dayalata singing a song called 'Downpour of the holy name'

Holy name? So the 'Hindu baggage' is creeping back in again is it? Must make for better donations in India.

From the Tibetan Dhammapada..

'Better to eat
A piece of food like molten iron
than to eat alms from the public
As a hypocrite not keeping vows.

If you are scared of misery
and if you do not relish pain
Do not do secretly or openly
What wicked people do.

If you have done something wrong
Or are involved in wrong
And run away hoping to hide the fact,
It is no use; there is no escape.
There exists no place at all
But what you have done will follow you:
In the oceans, through the skies,
Or far off in mountain caves.'

But on the other hand...

'There being no other path than this
To purify wrong view of self
Stay well in stabilization
And throw off the demon's bonds.

This true surpassing single way
Like a swan's unwavering flight onto a lake,
The Buddha realized in equipoise
And explained repeatedly to groups.

The One who knows the end of birth and death,
The Helper, out of love, teaches
This single path by which all the waters
Were and will be and are being crossed.

He who sees all teaches well this path
For the final stage, peace and purity,
To end the round of birth and death
And give full Knowledge in all spheres.'

If only he kept the promise...

Hi Blue Max,

It's so sad that M didn't keep his promise. I had such hope for him and put forth so much effort at his request to obey his wishes, his agya.

It's so sad to realize that the one I loved the most turned out to be a charlatan, a fraud, a hypocrite. A betrayer of the most insidious kind.

Yet, I have the hope of a better life having learned thus far what I have learned. Maharaji took so much from me, yet, that 'so much' is what I will reclaim for myself.

I think in essence that is the benefit of speaking to eachother here, (however limited virtual space can be), as humans who were duped, brainwashed, and worst, preyed upon at our most vulnerable times.

BUT...we have the power to see his masks and release and remove ourselves from his grip. We have become strong and fearless. I have far less to lose than goomraji!

I reclaim my life, my spirituality, my self. He no longer has any power over me.

That, is the happy news.

Be well,
Cynthia

Cynthia,

Thank you for sharing your true spirit. I am still putting it all in perspective myself and am weilding my old friend, the philosophical knife, which served me well in the early days of '72.

I came as a thief in the night to him and stole the techniques
essencially, working with them as advertised, trimming away what I saw as non-productive. Maybe it was not the most honest thing to do but the results are tangible evidence that at least the meditational aspects worked.

My life was a mess in those days and without that inner work I would most likely still be there. Can't really say for sure but in Destiny's mirror, it looks that way. There is an inner clarity
that serves well, especially now that clarity is the one thing that is most necessary in this time of very serious inquiry.

We are all coming to True Love again, I just know it..
What a time to be alive; to be truly human!

Hello Blue Max,

Point is, that whatever the real deal is with the reality question, we can eliminate the so called buddha's ideas as faulty and the result of poor thinking and ignorance and delusion.

He deserves no ones attention and all those that speak from the system of ideas he started are off the mark and slant whatever truisms they might see with his distortion field.

Our very own lord rawat is actually based on the same misperception of life. Although seeing the connection isnt obvious at first glance perhaps.

What definition you have of sacred is yours to create.
No matter what definitions we choose, things are the way they are and getting past the human two cents on the issue of reality is the real challenge!

It is a thick soup of ideas we all are shareing at least in the subjects of religion and philosophy. Anyone wanting to sort through it here on the forum can find this place a real help.

Your factual testimony has helped me dispense with the last of the die hard ghosts of experiences past.

I dont suppose I will ever get a view of reality that accurately details the make up of this life completely. I have heard here at the forum that there are 2 kinds of people, those that like Neil Diamond and those that dont. Keeping with that kind of thinking, I say there are 3 kinds of people, those that think the 'oneness' is not self aware, those that say conciousness sprang from matter, and those that think the 'oneness' is self-aware.

The make up of human nature makes me cast my vote with the crowd that says there is a self aware thing that has some power.

We seem bound by limitations that constrain us. Just one is the one we ran into, we spent years laboring under the notion that an 'infinite experience' was something attainable.
Luckily, it is not.

prem rawat still markets the notion of course, and that he has
somehow attained a -master of life- status.
Your testimony of his tirades will help show that he has not attained any state.

Would you consider covering the topic of his tirades of anger in more detail? Examples of the range and types of his misbehaviours
will show present and future victims enough for them to accept that he is not 'a master that does things as part of his lila and we are not to judge' and that they can have a chance to break free.

Hi there,
I am guessing you mean when did I see that arti was extreme poetic license.
Call me a innocent, or an optomist, or delusional, but my knowledge prep was months of one to one satsang from one of mata Ji's own handmaidens who was formerly a hari Krisha gopi woman.
Culminating in the soul rush to millenium and dancing to bhole ji's divine music while commenting to the disembodied spirits that were no doubt attending the event that I was in the enviable position of having a body and I was there at the beginning of the Millenium with the absolute ruler (maha raji),
sitting there in his crown and krishna suit.

that guy Yeshua, (renamed 'jesus' for who knows what reason),
said 'as you believe, so shall it be done unto you' and to some extent that seems possible. And I believed, stayed in the group delusionary field, and the millenium rolled on.

His mom (the lost and ridiculed mother of the universe), finally died after he shunned her for 17 years. He had a rather wicked mid-life crisis after she finished burning. I watched him in the videos dealing with that. By dec. 96, he had landed back in the throne, and with the delusions of his followers and his own life long activities propelling him, he re established his mental moorings squarely in the hindu/buddhist 'I play god, and you play devotee' schtick.

So, the one shot he had to 'enlighten' himself during the mid life look in the mirror, was wasted. Only the truth of his own behaviours being made public will give him enough of a mirror to finish the job (if he dares).

I was knocked off kilter by the dec 96 mid life crisis wrap up satsangs. I found the forum a couple months later and tried to restart my search for a mental foundation to rebuild on.
It was no picnic!

but, there really are stellar folks here. They are helpful when they dont even know they are. It is a negative subject we have here, but I find you can avoid feeling that and grow.

I would like to know which guru did Kabir not like. I can be wrong but did not he start the Sant movement? Does that mean that any guru that does not confirm to Kabir's liking or that other fellow with the turbin does not make the mark.

Hi Salam,

The way I heard it- Kabir couldn't get anyone to publish his poetry, he got fed up sitting on his arse thinking about God, realised, if there was a God he'd meet him when he died anyway, so he took a career change and opened a fast-food subji restaurant outside Benares, got married, had three kids and spent the last ten years of his life in opiated bliss, while his wife and kids worked in the restaurant to keep his habit going.

Kabir: Herb of joy

'My master has given me the herb of inner joy.
It can neither be cut, nor burnt, and is always evergreen.
This herb is very dear to me and tastes of nectar.
It has secretly been placed in a room within the city of this body.
When the serpents of lust and anger smell that herb, they perish instantly.
The power of worldly illusion evaporates in the master's presence.
Kabir says: 'Listen O truth-seeker, this precious herb is extremely scarce.' '

Is this a reference to shoving it up your backside to evade customs?

I have been thinking of this for a while. In the view that m cares about him family and seeing that you were an 'm's honcho' and in touch with his kids, can you describe what was the relation between m and the children. Did they look at him as a father, a guru or both? How did he look at them? Did he ever mention that one of them would be the torchbearer? What did you think of them (the children) as of their ability to learn? Where they morons like their father, or did they show signs of intelligence? Do you think that they where able to express what they wanted or did they play the dumb premie trick? Are they spoilt rich daddy brats? Do you think they are normal, in the sense that they will grow as your average Joe blow? How did their mother see them? Did she help them in their studies or was she too busy playing a brainless goddess?

Subject: Marolyn and the children.
Message:
Hi Salam,

That’s quite a question.

First, it’s a long time since I taught Maharaji’s children- getting on for twenty years ago- although I did keep in touch with them up until about four or five years ago. The last time I saw them was when I was invited to Maharaji’s birthday part in Malibu about five years ago. The last time I spoke to them and their mum was at Daya’s birthday party in Reigate about six years ago.

I think Marolyn and the children are probably the best thing that ever happened to Maharaji. I spent quite a bit of time, during my teaching days, talking to Marolyn and I liked her. There are some premies who use knowledge to beat their colleagues, and some who seem to maintain some of their humanity, despite everything that the cult has immersed them in. Marolyn always came across as someone who retained her humanity. She never struck me as “brainless”, and took great care to see that the children were brought up as “normally” as possible under the circumstances. It would have been very easy for her to use her position in an authoritarian way, but I never saw her doing this.

Maharaji’s relationship with his children, and how they see him (or saw him- as I’m out of touch now) has two aspects that spring to mind. One is the basic parent-child relationship- dealing with all the stuff that any parent has to deal with. The other aspect is his role as Perfect Master.

This may be easier to understand if you look at someone like Chelsea Clinton. Her dad is her dad- but also President of the States. Maharaji is their dad, but they have been brought up to see him in his role as “Perfect Master” too. As we once “knew” Salam, Kings and Emperors have importance on Earth- but the most important person is the Perfect Master. The daughters of Kings have status as “Princesses”, so what status would the daughter of the Perfect Master have? I think this kind of thing was laid on them when they were little.

When I taught them, I stayed right away from all that stuff, but occasionally I’d get the impression that they’d had their dad’s role explained to them as I’ve described.

The children are not stupid. They have all spent lots of time with intelligent adults, played with the best toys, and travelled the world. So they’ve had a good, broad, education- aside from what went on in the classroom with myself and Susan, their teacher in America.
Most of my time was spent with Premlata. She was great fun to be with when she was little, and we had some really good times together. She was an incredibly imaginative and creative girl who always surprised me with her inventive solutions to the problems I set. For example, when she was five, I taught her simple addition with methods like- draw two circles (ponds) draw three fish in one and two fish in another. Then draw another pond and put all the fish in. Wadi would draw the pond, then draw the most beautiful coloured fish in it, then maybe someone sitting by the pond with a fishing rod, trying to catch one of the fish. She was a pleasure to teach. I often used to get the feeling she was hungry for a more “normal” life- like a classroom full of “normal” children.

Hansi was always a mystery to me. He wasn’t as enthusiastic about school as Wadi and Daya, and used to view me with a bit of suspicion. I’ve met him a couple of times since he’s been a teenager, and he’s always been pleasant and polite.

Daya, like Wadi, enjoyed school and came across as a genuinely kind, thoughtful, outgoing person. She is a natural, charming hostess.

I remember once, Marolyn invited my wife and two children down to Reigate for the day. My boys, Tim and Luke, had never seen toys like the stuff at the Residence that belonged to Maharaji’s children. I was impressed how pleasant and hospitable Wadi, Hansi and Daya were with Tim and Luke. They shared their toys with them without a problem- which with small children isn’t usually the case.

I’m way out of touch with how the children see their dad nowadays. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if one or more of them is questioning the role of their father. I’ve heard Wadi is doing some job for the cult in California- but how they will get on in the “outside world” is anybody’s guess, if indeed, they ever leave the financial shelter of their father’s world.

I like to think that one or more of them will escape the cult conditioning that they’ve been through, and eventually get their own lives together. I also like to think that I’d be available to talk to them about it if they ever did decide to leave.

You asked if they are spoilt, rich, daddy’s brats. Spoiled- no, rich- yes, daddy’s-yes, brats-no.

You also asked if one of them would be the “torch bearer”. I never heard anything directly. Most days I would go up to the classroom on the side of the house- do my thing, then leave. The times when Maharaji came into the classroom, either he’d sit quietly and let me get on with it, or take over for a while, so the topics I talked to him about were nearly always related to what I was doing with the children. However, I did hear things from premies who spent more time with him, that were kind of “Premie hints”, where you fill in the cosmic gap yourself. They’d occasionally say things like, Maharaji made a comment about Hansi’s feet- or something. Even then I had the impression, maybe we were being primed to accept Hansi as the next Perfect Master. Time will tell.

Hope this answers your question Salam.

Anth the teacher

Message:
It's striking how this kind of premie porn hasn't lost any of its charm, Anth. :)

It's hard to describe but it is sort of like watching a really good serial programme on television -- the characters almost make me feel like I'm a part of their family, for that hour each week. I'm sure it is meant to feel that way; that is the appeal.

Sometimes it is the emotions shared and the closeness between the members that matters (E.R., The Third Watch, Twin Peaks) and sometimes it's the importance of what they are doing in the world -- how they are making a difference; how they are making history! (Law and Order and most PBS documentary series such as Nova and Frontline).

Since Maharaji's family wasn't doing anything important in the world or for the world or for history -- the only thing left for the voyeur grunt premie was to get interested in the drama of the lives of the Holy Family and the PAMs; to pretend and to project participation in the Holy Family's day to day lives as people interrelating. Most of the stories about the Holy Family took on those qualities of interpersonal drama, since Divine Light Mission was internally consistent but had very little to do with the machinations of the world scene, and of history, proper.

In that regard, it was like a real Dallas or Dynasty or Falcon Crest -- one that didn't stop when the weekly fix of stories about the characters was told; because these were stories about real people and very important people in all of our lives.

Or so we thought!

At least the TV audience probably realizes that when the show is over, it was just a show, and you couldn't really ever interact with the characters portrayed -- because it was all a fiction.

Sigh. Nobody told the premies that.

Is a jackass King still a King?

I guess for hundreds of the premies, it went deeper than living vicariously through the stories told -- they actually (jesus christ!) got on the Greyhound bus, rode out to Malibu, and actually engaged in the lives of these VIP devotees, the Holy Family, and the PAMs! There were always these wild desert wanderer premies who would traipse through the local community, and tell stories about The Band (oops, that's the Deadhead cult) I mean, about Maharaji's family, the initiators, the premies with important 'service' in DLM.

Thank you for the reply. Very crisp and educational.

So you do not think that 'his' wife was stupid? I think she is the dumbest think I have come across. What's with all that crying that she did and the way she portrayed herself as a complete selfless devotee that can only see her god guru? What effect did that have on thousands of premies that had to listen to her. Why are there rumors know that she got laid by a driver? What happened to al that devotion?
