Some concern I guess for EV's PR premies ....

I See The Light ... In which a young journalist pushes a cream pie into the face of His Divine Fatness and gets his skull cracked open by two disciples. By Ken Kelley

Tuesday, August 7, 1973, was a good day for Pat Halley. He and his comrades on Detroit's stalwart underground newspaper, the Fifth Estate, were going down to the City-County Building on a very important mission-a divine mission, you could say. Guru Maharaj Ji, the corpulent teenage avatar, had asked to be presented with the key to the city, a propaganda stunt he'd pulled off in several other towns, and a liberal do-gooder on the council had agreed to sponsor him......

Does anyone remember the infamous centre-spread of George Blodwell in Playgirl magazine, back in 77 or 78 ??

George was my Aspirant Coordinator back in Manchester and we were pretty shocked to see George in all his naked glory gracing the pages.

Later he told us it was a fundraising venture and that he gave the proceeds to maharaji. I remember Jagdeo was in our ashram (Moorlands Road)at the time and confiscated the mag.

Whatever happened to ol' George, anybody know? Wish I could get hold of a copy of that issue!!!

I think Roger's House of Drek has some Halley links to some of the forum posts about this. It has been discussed at length in the past. What is new to me from the Penthouse piece is the apparent fact that Fakiranand remained on the staff giving K in Germany.

Perhaps the legal stuff hit a dead end when the decision was taken not to prosecute back in '73, even if Halley later died. But the moral case against M and his org is pretty devastating, IMO.

another public humiliation. You would think that the most humble entity on the planet would not be bothered by such an event, eh?

In all fairness, Maharaji was a kid when the pie incident first happened; however, he did nothing to rectify the wrong when he came of age (realized he wasn't the Lard after all).

A few years back, a fellow named Bill, from Detroit, talked about it. He said that was why Maharaji never went to Detroit again. Apparently, Maharaji thinks that Detroit is the darkest city ever. Bill also expressed zeal for hurting the reporter. He said something to the effect of 'I would have done the same thing' [as Fakiranand]. We all smiled in understanding--yup, THAT WAS ME.

Its Soooooo Ugly--what a cult does to a person...

Subject: Cops in Detroit hated Pat Halley
Message:
As the Penthouse article states, Pat Halley worked for an 'underground' (anti authoritarian, hippie) newspaper in Detroit. The paper was always writing bad, and deserved, articles about the Detroit police. The Detroit police were not all that interested in seeking 'justice' for Pat Halley. That is what I recall from having been around Detroit when this happened. There are some other Detroit exes who post here who may be able to fill in a bit more information.

Thanks, Jean-Michel.

Some additional detail there that hasn't yet appeared on the forum. In the past the incident has been portrayed as a case of a couple of bongo premies acting on their own who after the event were disowned by the Mission.

These two paragraphs in particular suggest that DLM/EV still have some explaining (whitewahsing?) to do:

The Mission's national headquarters in Denver issued a press release that admitted that the pair were, in fact, premies, and that they were being held in 'protective custody' at the Chicago ashram, where they had fled after the assault. The press release promised a 'full investigation' that would culminate in the culprits being 'brought to justice.'
>>>>

Not until I questioned Rennie Davis on the matter several months later did any semblance of truth emerge. Davis admitted that Misra was Mahatma Fakiranand, that Fletcher was St. Peter, and that both were back in the guru's good graces. Fletcher was in Denver and Fakiranand had not even been demoted from mahatmadom. He was, in Davis's words, 'shipped off to Germany, where he's still giving Knowledge.' When asked to explain the incident, Davis giggled in the peculiar manner common to most premies when in a state of divine bliss. 'I really feel Guru Maharaj Ji is doing everything,' said Davis. 'He had the pie thrown in his face, and he had Fakiranand do that -the whole thing is just one gigantic lila that operates on so many levels. I saw it more as a test for the premies than anything else. Lila, in guruspeak, means 'divine game.'

Hi Steve,

Sorry, the Latvians have it- they let us use their club in London, and when the barman goes home he gives us the keys and tells us to help ourselves and lock up when we go (honest).

We even met the Prince of Burma in there one night.

See if you can get to the next meeting. You never know how it will turn out- actually you can make a pretty good guess.

(Nothing against Lithuania though Steve).

Pi, I mean Hi, Everyone,

As recent as 2 summers ago, as I sat around a table in Middlebury Vermont with some old time premies talking about ''the old days,'' the story of the pieing of M came up and fakiranand's crime against that reporter.

They got the story all wrong (of course), they said it was a hammer to the guys head, whatever. What's really disturbing was that they laughed and laughed and laughed about it and said, yeah, M was smart--he got fakiranand out of the country FAST.

I wasn't around until 1975, so I had heard rumors about that incident, and the story probably went through several revisions. Non-the-less, that was another drip, drip, drip for me.

Subject: Does Visions Doctor Videos?
Message:
I've had the suspicion for some time that Visions doctors videos. I got that impression because the opening shots of certain talks in different cities show similar audience scenes with people standing and raising their arms in the air in a 'bolie shri' or 'wave' like gesture.

The only times I've seen m in the last few years, virtually everyone rose and applauded him in a unanimous, synchronous manner. I didn't, as I didn't feel like it. I thought something was wrong with me. Is this the ultimate in synchronicity and bringing peace to the earth?

I've seen m twice in the last six years and never saw people raising their arms in the air as I have in certain videos. I've even thought that Visions is taking audience scenes from non-m events.

Anybody know anything about this. Anybody here work for Visions recently or know anybody who does?

From looking at the shots that come from India, I have sometimes wondered if the crowd shots aren't messed with, I really can't tell, but once you put the footage into a computer, you can make 10,000 look like 80,000.

I've shot many hours of video myself, going back to Dortmund in 1977, right up until the aspirant pre-Knowledge pep talk in Miami Beach this year.

These days its all shot on DigiBeta format and usually in iso., which means each camera has its own recorder on the back with a 30 minute digital tape. Each camera also stripes the tape with SMPTE time code, and (if things are done right) all the cameras are genlocked and time code locked, so that each tape that comes from the different cameras will have a digital time log on them, accurate down to 1 frame of video (1/30th second). The upshot of all this technobabble is that each tape can be synchronised accurately with all the others.

Crowd cutaways are generally shot on a camera dedicated to that purpose, and when editing any audience reaction shot can be inserted accurately in its proper timeline sequence. However, its not uncommon practice in documenting any kind of event to make use of your 'best' reaction shots out-of-sequence. In other words, if your presenter tells a particularly funny joke but you dont capture decent reactions at that moment, you would search the B-rolls for a suitable substitute.

Another use for SMPTE timecode is that it can be output to a laptop, so that a 'content logger' can make notes pinpointing key stories or phrases from his satsang and have them accurately flagged to the right point on the tape. This job usually was done by Monica Lewis.

So far as your question about 'doctoring' goes, I didn't do any of the editing, that's generally done by Malcom Davie and John McNellie over at Dunrite, but from what I've seen myself on the finished product, there's nothing realy that goes beyond the normal boundaries of video production in the 'real world'

Hope this helps

Anyway. Who is Michael Woods? Sheesh youve been out of touch for a while! Michael Woods is numero uno premie photographer/videographer. Hes been taking pictures of & videotaping m since the mid 70's - all those romantic close-ups, all the floating petals, clouds, streams, m. frollicking in the meadows - all Michaels work. He is always on the main camera at events, then leaves as soon as maharaji goes off for the backstage getting-into-the-limo photo opportunity. He is such a honcho, he doesnt even need a backstage pass - everybody, an I mean EVERYBODY in Security knows him and is a bit afraid of him coz of his closeness to maharaji. Now THERE's a guy we need here a la Mike Dettmers. He and Monica were an item through the 80's, dont know when they broke up but if anyone knows about her having a ding-dong with the lord it would be Michael. Shit he probably filmed them at it! Woodsie is director of Visions and (i think) Dunrite also. Nothing goes out on tape or in print without his blessings.

Dear Steve,

During the summer of 1999, Maharaji gave a live satellite feed which I watched. It was in July, I think. He ranted and raved and swore, calling premies ungrateful. How everyone was bitching about this or that...and he doesn't get one damned bit of gratitude. I saw it live. From what I heard about that particular program, some videos got sent out unedited and were recalled, clip, clip, clip, gone was the swearing.

BTW, that one event is what sent me over the edge. I was furious at M, not because he swore, but because he was so crabby, mean, and to say his premies are ungrateful was beyond the pale for me.

So I'm kind of glad I spent $50.00 that weekend to see the feeds. At least it ended my life with M forever. It was really weird.

Hi cq,

The last weekend of satellite feeds I attended, one in which Maharaji swore and was all mad, was indeed audio recorded by someone at the house. There are warnings not to do it, and this premie was the community contact, so she just put an audio cassette into her stereo system which was hooked up to the TV and she got the audio.

Unfortunately, I never went back after that. I do know that I wasn't the only person there disturbed by what Maharaji had said. It wasn't so much that he swore, it was his general tone of contempt at the premies for not showing him enough gratitude.

I don't know if a video could be taped. They may have the signal scrambled. Bazza might know.

Hi Steve,

Did you know that the author of the Gospel according to John was not John the Baptist? The Gospel was written about 50 years after John the Baptist died.

Maharaji didn't know this, and for a few years, happily talked about, 'When John the Baptist wrote, 'In the beginning was the Word...''. Nobody had the nerve to tell him that John the Baptist didn't write part of the Bible- until one day somebody finally bit the bullet and told him- I think it was Mike Finch.

The Lard's response was to tell someone to go back through all the transcripts of all his satsangs and change the innaccuracies.

If you go to EV web site and look at the images on the front page you will see that they are designed to give the impression of vastnees. But if you download the image and enlarge it you will notice that the small picture have been doctored. For example, in the image where there are people watching a video screen (the screen is blue), the image is supposed to be that of Rawat, but if you look closely you will see that there is nothing there, only a gost image of something. I therefore will not be surprised to know that they do doctor their videos.

Where is the higher part of the mind? Don't you need a little higher mind to give you the discrimination to know what is what? Suppose, like they say in EV, this is all just a trick of the mind.

I mean, how can I know that the real reason you are judging that Maharaji Ji is telling lies is not just so you will feel free to eat meat and stop doing meditation, or whatever?? Huh? I mean, what is your motive?

I am sorry, I just do not feel like giving up my intuitive experiences on the basis of looking only at outer appearances.

And what do you have to take its place? You can just tear something down. That's easy, but it does not get rid of the 'spiritual experiences' that some people have had. I just don't know.......

Subject: What Made M Different?
Message:
I said in a recent posting that I have experienced m to have had powers. Someone questioned me on this and made me think.

He always seemed much more serene and composed than anyone else, particularly in darshan line. The fact that he could sit there relentlessly for hours and remain composed impressed me the more. Could he have possibly been drugged up to get through it? What drug would have that effect?

He seemed to radiate light of some kind, although, in hindsight, it was a kind of strange light, sort of like a small night light plugged into the wall in a dark room. A sickly light in retrospect, but a light nonetheless.

I also have had some strange coincidences around m, particularly in Kissimee in 1978. Within ten minutes of arriving a few days early to do 'service' and waiting to register, he passed me four times in four different cars. The last time, in a jeep, he stared at me at a 90 degree angle out the driver's window while continuing to drive slowly. Meanwhile, Marolyn was staring straight ahead wearing sunglasses, looking evasive. The image has remained strong in my mind.

Other examples of power include listening to talks where he seemed to refer to things going on in my life, as if he knew me. Come to think of it, I've had stronger experiences of that watching movies, but I always assumed or thought he was behind that.

I stand by what I've said repeatedly, at least to the extent that I was never attracted to any other 'spiritual' leader and, God knows, there's been no shortage of them spewing out of India in the last 30 years. One explanation is that we all have powers, and m's particular powers drew me. Everyone else here is in the same boat to some extent by definition. So denial won't cut it. I also stand by the feeling and opinion that the 'knowledge' I was revealed connected me in a strong way to m, even though the connection can be seen as a sick one. I don't understand people just dismissing the past as a big hoax. The hoax is part of it, but there's got to be more, and I think it's a form of denial to ignore that.

Thanks,

Steve

We looked for answers, so we got them. It seems that we attract what we want. I don't know how it works--nobody does.

We did get high. There were strange coincidences. etc. ect.

There is no way to explain it or explain it away. It just was. We were willing to pay the price (ourselves), so we had a payoff--it was wonderful for a short while (sort of like heroine).

There is a consequence for our addiction, however. Each of need look no further than ourselves to see what the long-term affect has been.

Message:
I experienced a session of meditation, wherein, I rubbed my eyes and as I had my hand on my eyes I saw a projector like image in front of my eyes of cowboys and indians and newsreals. What made this even more interesting is that M was visiting one his first ashrams on Long Island within a mile of where I was, in which I had no real inkling to go to; but after seeing that, I went. This is when he rode his motorcycle in the residence. And I received 'Holy Breath' I left my body once also. My point, I believe he has power alright; but I hate to think where that power is coming from. It's not pure. Pure doesn't need drugs or wouldn't even desire them

Another time, I had the worse hangover in history and went to see him anyway (laying down in the car the whole way). After I went through the 'tunnel' its like I never drank at all. All this supernatural crap kept me going for too long...

No Steve, It is not denial.

It is will power, persistence and the desire to break free. That is what it is. Even if what you say is true i.e. Rawat has some sort of a handle as you describe it, I believe if you want to block him it is up to you. You just have to dig up the tree, roots and earthworms to do it. The problem with Rawat is that he has set hooks in our psyche. He is a vampire that feed on our innocence when we thought he was taking us to the magic garden. Even when we break free, these hooks remain the need to be removed one by one. Sometime it feels that I can diss the prick too easily, I certainly can and I know that he has no hold on me because I had to carve him out of my life. I do not know about the rest of the troops here but I can say for myself that not in a million year Rawat will be anywhere near me.

It is true, there is an experience inside you, and it is beautiful, wonderful and brighter than a thousand suns. It is the experience of waking up one day and saying

I AM FREE

FUCK YOU RAWAT

AWAKENING

Well, you wake with a start and a fluttering heart 'cos there's a thought that's started to gnaw at you,
So you push it away but it's back the next day and then later that night it's grown fat too.

It's the horror of doubt! will Maharaji find out? not only you've thought but you're feeling,
And you gaze in despair through the thickening air for the Master can see through the ceiling.

Yes! there's doubt in your mind - evil trickster unkind - that's your sworn implacable enemy.
Now your ears start to ring and your fear that it's him, having caught the vibe of your blasphemy.

For you've followed his 'truth' from since you were a youth and it's coloured the whole of your world view:
Leave no doubt in your mind, was the Guru's mean bind: Know that thinking for you is my purlieu.

Well, that cannot be true, a thought murmurs to you - that Rawat is a fraud, and you know it.
Then the voice comes again, saying I'm your friend Ken, and just listen to me or you'll blow it.

You've kissed far too much sock, and you've quite run amock with devotion and satsang and slaving.
That you've given your life to a silly gobshite, makes you angry and soon you are raving.

Then your anger's so vast it can't possibly last, it's too deep and too fast and too perfect,
You're twisting and burning, your stomach is churning, you've given your life to the goober sect.

And you just can't believe you could be so naive - it hurts to admit you were hoodwinked.
Could it all be a test? Or some wierd kind of jest? No... for the truth is all clear and succinct.

He was spinning to fool; capture lives for his rule; the whole point of his game was to shell you.
Well, to save your esteem you fight back and you scream Ken's horrid for trying to tell you.

Then you try to tell Ken he just doesn't get Zen, you know he's too in his mind to get it,
The Master's reflection defies Ken's inspection; an enigma - and Ken shouldn't forget it.

Yeah? So sit down, says Ken, we'll start over again, for the heat from your brain is too boiling.
Look, he has messed with you, you've been played for a fool, it's your party his arti's been spoiling.

He's just wordy for fools, spinning maya that pulls so you'll follow the lord with devotion.
You gave up your career, at your family you'd sneer, you were hooked on the lying lord's potion.

You've believed in a Lord who was never of course at all what he wanted you thinking.
Then the grief comes again, you're in terrible pain and the pit of your stomach is sinking.

And you're feeling ashamed though you cannot be blamed for he hooked you with tricks and with lying.
And the grief sweeps over, you're hating your captor, and you're writhing and reeling and crying.

As the truth now sinks in, you come out of your spin and rue sadly the wreakage of dreaming,
You loved a mad piper, a poisonous viper, corrupted by lust, maya, and scheming.

Now you've seen through his ruse you can only refuse to allow that his business continue,
So cult busting's your song, and the world sings along, we'll have no such hoods in our retenue.

You've defeated the dread that infected your head, and accepted your heart as your mind's counterpart; you've returned to the race with a real human face; not selected by God, you're an ordinary bod with a life to enjoy and a cult to destroy. His flying and yachting, his scheming and plotting, his lies and confusion, his daft self-delusion, are no fun for a lord when he's seen as a desolute drover;

Oh! the journey's been hard to be free of the lard, for you followed too long (as indeed is this song) - and thank goodness they're both of them over!

Could you quantify exactly what he was drinking and how much during the day? Congac? Whiskey? Gin? Half a bottle a day or more? It is impossible for anyone to function normally and rationaly in this state for such a prolonged period ...years..I guess you could really say he was an alcoholic...

I am really interested in the events of the last year of Bob Mishler's time with the mission. Could you write a post about this. Exactly what went on in Mishler's mind. Apart from the major confrontation with the malibu residence, what else did he confront M with? Did Bob discuss with u M's drinking problems?

What do you know about Mishler's death?. It was so sudden?. How was the news taken in the M camp?

Eddy The Turtle,

I will briefly answer your first question now and save the Bob Mishler question for a few days until I catch-up on some of the other questions.

First, let me clarify that Maharaji was not drunk five out of seven days a week. He did drink cognac every single day during the time I was around him and he always drank in the evening after dinner. Sometimes he would limit his drinking to two or three shots and that seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever. Often he would drink five or six shots, which made him slightly inebriated. Once or twice a week however, he would exceed that amount and that is when he became out-and-out drunk. Those were the times he often slurred invectives at people and situations that displeased him as I reported in an earlier post.

To reiterate what I said earlier, he was never drunk or inebriated when he was flying. He always stopped drinking the night before a flight at the prescribed hour specified by the FAA. However, he often drove when he was slightly inebriated and occasionally when he was drunk. I remember an incident where he got extremely upset during dinner with his entire family at a posh restaurant in Palm Beach because he thought that Marolyn was flirting with a gentleman at a nearby table. He abruptly demanded that everyone in his party immediately leave the restaurant. He brushed aside his driver and took the wheel himself even though he was really drunk. With his entire family in the car he proceeded to their hotel which was about three miles from the restaurant. I followed in a car just behind his and was horrified to see his car swerving all over the road. It is a wonder that he didn’t crash into something or that the cops didn’t pull him over. This is just one of several such examples.

Hi everyone. I'm a starry-eyed newcomer to this site and so have a fresh perspective and there's one thing I find very counterproductive [although at times quite amusing] namely the regular diatribe of juvenile abuse of Mr. Rawat. I think if I was a wavering premie I would be immediately turned off by such name calling and feel justified in saying this was a site for 'bongos',whereas in fact there is much razor sharp insight and kindness [something always missing in DLM/EV] in the postings .Hey, I'm not coming over all Holy Joe just thinking practically.I'm thinking about a recent thread which consisted of strings of epithets along the lines of 'goofball,lard,fat one etc etc.Personally I see m as either a man totally conditioned by a weird upbringing, a charlatan, an abusive alcholic or maybe just a person who has a lot of self-development ahead and won't or can't get out of the honey-trap.But going on and on about his size is not very clever or fair to others who are fighting the battle of the bulge.

Hi Tim,

Over the two or three years I've been involved in this site, by far the nastiest abuse posted here has been from premies.

You need to remember that lots of us were heavily involved in the cult for many years, gave massive amounts of time, effort and cash to somebody who led us all up the garden path. It's not at all surprising that occasionaly people want to yell the odd reprimand and insult at he who believes he is god almighty.

When someone has been abused, and controlled through fear- it is extremely therapeutic to stand up and tell your abuser what you think of him.

Also Tim- if you count the posts on the forum, then count those that are hurling insults at the Lard, it really is a small minority.

Hi Tim

I'm new here too and its funny you use the term 'wavering premie' because thats what I used to post with before I made the leap into the open.

In a way you're right but for me i needed answers, and there wasnt/isnt anywhere else you can go where you'll find anything but glowing praise for maharaji and knowledge, mainly because a) all those sites are owned/run or controled by the official publicity vehicle elan vital and b) convicted premies are strongly discouraged from starting their own sites re maharaji & k. even if they sing his praises in big bold letters.

In other words, until something better comes along, this is th e best hope for people like me (and you???) to get an alternate view.

Plus dont forget there is a wealth of invectice-free information to be read and mulled over in the main pages of this website and the EV/DLM papers, both of which are linked to at the head of this page.

In fact, unless you have the direct url link to this forum, you generally go through the main page first and have to dig down a tree to find the forum. Thats what happened with me, i found this site accidentally while searching for 'maharaji' just to see what was out there and read a lot of the main body pages before finding the forum. btw how did you come across it?

If you balance all the silly shit against the good stuff by Michael Dettmers and others its still very worthwhile and the rest as you say is amusing at best and irritating to premies at worst.

Hi Tim. Actually I quite enjoyed that thread, it made me laugh (and I even shouted an epithet or two out myself, for good measure). It was a nice counter-balance to all the intense discussions all the time and just felt like people blowing off steam, like a bunch of little kids banding together and name-calling and rock-throwing. While it may be alienating to wavering premies or very recent ex's, it can serve a very useful function in de-programming yourself from thinking that Maharaji is God. I remember the very first time I allowed myself to think like that, less than holy thoughts about M being less than perfect, I sort of looked around to make sure I wasn't going to be swallowed up into a pit or struck down by lightning or anything. And then it was the most liberating feeling to actually be able to say and think this kind of thing about someone we revered as the Lord of the Universe for so long. It was an extreme relief and really helped put him into proper perspective. I used to get a little annoyed by Joe always referring to how fat he was, etc., I thought it was kind of juvenile, but now I see it as a sometimes necessary way of looking at and thinking about someone who is very pompous (among all the other things you described) and deserves all the dissing that comes his way (and more!).

There's some truth in what you say. The first time I read some posts on the (then) newsgroup in 1996 or 97 about Maharaji, I was shocked to read people calling him an idiot etc. Even though I hadn't followed him since 1983, I was conditioned to expect people who knew about him to speak about him with respect.

I guess it takes a while for this conditioning to go away. But it is a law of nature that people who put themselves forward as something better than other people, get flak. It's bound to happen.

The Maharaji I followed was a Maharaji in my imagination. In reality he was nothing like the real Maharaji. It took a while for me to accept that. Back in early 1997 I still believed that Maharaji could be the Lord. When it finally dawned on me that he wasn't, I could then understand that the name calling was not to the Maharaji of my imagination but to a rather pompous Indian man.

Welcome Tim G.

I was quite shocked at the verbal abuse and name calling of M, but after a while, like a day or so, I got used to it. Christ, we had ALTARS to him, so venting helps sometimes.

It does turn off premies, I agree, but when you've been used and abused as many of us have been by Maharaji, it sometimes helps to just call him names.

If you stick around, you'll find there are a lot of very funny posts and you'll get over the initial shock.
