That's right, some crazy ashram premies, after listening to some wacky Mahatmas lay some Hindu concepts on them, attacked Maharaj (who some say is simply divine), stripped him, then put that absurd Krishna outfit on him, plunked the Krishna Krown on his Kooky head, put the Divine Flute in his hand, and then pushed him onto the stage. Then they shot at his feet to make him wobble, ah, I mean dance.

Oops, did I say his Kooky head? Forgot, not supposed to doubt Master, only EV and premies, and of course everyone else, especially those evil ex-premies.

'Who is Guru? The highest manifestation of God is Guru. So when Guru is here, God is here, to whom will you give your devotion? Guru Maharaj Ji knows all. Guru Maharaji is Brahma (creator). Guru Maharaji is Vishnu (Operator). Guru Maharjai is Shiva (Destroyer of illusion and ego). And above all, Guru Mahraji is the Supremest Lord in person before us. I have come so powerful. I have come for the world. Whenever the great come,the worldly oppose them. Again I have come and you are not listening. Every ear should hear that the saviour of humanity has come. There should be no chance for anyone to say that they haven't heard of Guru Maharaj Ji. Those who have come to me are already saved. Now its your duty to save others. Shout it on the streets. Why be shy? When human beings forget the religion of humanity, the Supreme Lord incarnates. He takes a body and comes on this earth ......
When human beings forget this one way, then our Lord, who is the Lord of the whole universe, comes in human body to give us practical Knowlege, ....But, most ironically, we don't appreciate the Lord when He comes in His human body on this earth. Similarly, a Satguru, a Perfect Master, a Supreme Lord who is existing in the present time, can give you the practical Knowledge of the real thing... So God Himself comes to give practical Knowledge of His divinity, of His inner self, which is self-effulgent light, eternal light, all-pervading light. And the Supreme Master, the Satguru, gives practical Knowledge of that light, irrespective of caste, creed, color, religion or sex, to those human individuals who bow before him with reverence, with love and with faith.'

(Various excerpts - Who Is Guru Maharaj Ji)

'Just see, today this word 'guru' has become a ridiculous term, a sort of a joke and people do not know what is a 'guru'. When I fly a plane in India, I often listen to the radio in the cockpit. There are talks going on between various pilots in the vicinity. Somebody would address: ''Well Guru, how are you?' Because they do not know the true meaning and implications. They don't understand the glory of a guru and Master. Because they have forgotten altogether. They have made such pseudo-guru who have put the whole system to disrepute. For instance, in schools they don't know the correct meaning of a couplet like:

The radiance radiated from my beloved is of suds an amazing hue ...
They say, 'oh yes, because Kabir saw a sort of redness...'

But what sort of redness was it? Such so-called gurus have marred the reputation of this institution. It has been ruined. Actually the guru is such a personality about whom it is said:

« I bow down to the lotusfeet of my Guru Maharaji, who is the ocean of mercy and is actually Hari (God) himself in human form,
And whose words are like sunbeams to disperse the accumulated darkness of gross ignorance. »

So Tulsidas says that he bows down to such a Guru Maharaji, the Master, who is really Hari (Supreme Power) in the form of man. So the main thing to understand here is that he bows down to the feet of that guru whose utterances, whose expressions are able to illuminate. And what is that which is illuminated by his words? It is the heart which is illuminated. His words are able to sever and dispel the spidery web of illusion, infatuation and ignorance. This I have seen myself and realized in my own heart. Yes, in my heart!'

AND now I'll tell you of devotion. Devotion is a two-way ticket. But with this two-way ticket, you don't go there to Mukti (Liberation). You don't go to that place. You don't go to liberation, but you stay here and this is devotion.

Every benefit that you were supposed to have in liberation, you will get. That means being away from Karma, away from actions and always in the bliss, and the radiance of the Lord. That place will be given to you while you are on the earth with the Lord; with the human form, with the physical presence of the Lord. That is called devotion.

As long as the devotee is there, the Lord can project devotion out of him. Understood ? You know, if there is no devotee, how can there be devotion ? Can there be devotion without devotee ? How can there be ? There can't. So, if there is devotion, there has to be devotee. Have you understood now ?

And if there has to be devotee, he has to be in a physical form. A devotee has to devote something. Have you understood now ? To devote something, he has to be in a physical form. And where is it possible for him to be in physical form ? On the earth. And with whom can he be in the physical form ? With the Lord, who is in His physical form ! He has to be with the Physical Lord who has come into this physical world with a Physical Body. Understood.

(Guru Maharaj Ji - Essen, Germany - August 31, 1975)

GOD made two things, two cars - one automatic, one manual. One who has devoted whole life to Guru Maharaj Ji, they are in manual condition. It is in my hand to put them in gear. No desire.

Other is automatic. Gear is there. Gear has to be shifted. Those who have not yet devoted to me for all life. Powers you have that create desires. Those desires can be good or bad. You must see what to do with desires that are good, and those that are bad.

In manual, I shift to gear after gear, but automatic does what it likes. Gears have been put, now there is only an accelerator. You will have to be like this premie, to devote your whole life to me.

Agya is the only accelerator. If you want to be in manual, there has to be a clutch. When you press it, the car is free from all the gears. Not just mahatmas are in manual. Is this premie Mahatma ? No. But he is in manual. I am the clutch freeing him from the gears or putting him in action.

To be in clutch, leave all, and come here. If you are still in automatic, clutch and brake are combined. In automatic, only the Agya is the accelerator.

To be in manual or automatic is not up to you. It is your part to play. I am the gear box.

In first surrender, there are four gears. In second surrender, there are only two gears.

That depends on me what gear I want you to work. Everything depends on me. Not even a leaf moves a millimetre without my wish.

(Guru Maharaj Ji, March 13, 1971)


'Do you need me? I am with you.
You can't see me, though I'm the light that allows you too see me. You can't hear me though I talk through your voice. You can't feel me, though I'm the power that works in your hands. I'm working within you though you ignore my paths. I'm working though you don't recognize my work.
I'm not a strange vision. I'm not a mystery - only in absolute silence beyond the personality that you seem to be; and then only like a feeling and like faith. Still I'm with you, still I hear you, still I can answer you.
When you need me, I'm with you and I help you. In the moments in which you think you only find yourself, I'm with you. Even in your fears. Even in your pain, even when you meditate and when you don't meditate. I'm within you and you're within me. Only in your mind are the problems of 'mine' and 'yours', but still only with your mind you can know and perceive me.
Empty your heart of ignorant fears because apart from your personality, in between, I will be with you. By yourself, you cannot do anything, but I can do everything.
Though you cannot see the good - The good is there. Because I am there, because I have to be, because I am everything. Only in me the world has meaning. Only when you are in me, the world will take it's true shape. Only because I am the law, in which rests the movement of the stars and the growth of each living cell.
I am the love that is the fulfillment of the law; I am safety; I am your peace; I am everything. Though you fail finding me, I never fail finding you. Though your faith in me is insecure, my faith in you never vanishes. Though you give your faith and love senselessly to others, My love is only for you, because I know you, because I love you.'

(Guru Maharaji Ji, Speaking to IDP Group - February, 1982)

Look it's beyone liberation. It's beyond all those things. Beyond all concepts. In this lifetime, we have the opportunity to realize, to be with GURU MAHARAJ JI. Be it not GURU MAHARAJ JI - You know maybe they didn't call him GURU MAHARAJ JI - Maybe they called him Lord, anything to be with that power. To be with that thing. To be not infinite. And yet to be with the infinite. To be here as individuals. And yet to be able to be next to the person who is everything, GURU MAHARAJ JI. The Lord all powerful.....

(Malibu Ca, June 11, 1978)


It's been said that Guru Maharaj Ji comes, or God comes into the world, when there is a decline in religion. God comes, Guru Maharaj Ji comes, and helps the world.

(Denver, Colorado; October 12, 1974.) Read the excerpt published in 'The Living Master'.

Answers from Guru Maharaj Ji, 15 Year Old Perfect Master.

Who is Guru Maharaj Ji?

I have not come to establish a new religion or sect, but I have come to give you Knowledge of Truth. If you come to me with a guileless heart you will surely receive this most ancient spiritual Knowledge, which, if practised upon, will give us perfect peace of mind.

Jesus gave us this Knowledge, Krishna gave us this Knowledge, but now we must look again for a new Master to show us the light. The sun comes and goes away but we don't look for the light of day which has just gone. We look for the new rising sun. The sun is there, but it rises in a new beautiful way, and we look for that. In the same way, God is the same, but now we look for him to come, in a new way, to give this Knowledge.

What is a Perfect Master?

When we say 'Perfect Master', this is what we mean. A man who teaches you math, you call him a math master. A man who teaches you science, you call him a science master. A man who teaches you perfectness, you call him a Perfect Master.

(Divine Times, February 15, 1973)


The following is an extract from an question and answer session given by Guru Maharaj Ji in Portland, Oregon, June 29, 1972. Printed in 'Elan Vital' magazine Volume II Issue 2, Summer 1978:

Question: Guru Maharaj Ji, what does it feel like to be Lord of the universe?

M: What should I tell you about it?

Question: Just what it's like.

M: What it's like? Nothing. Because you are not in yourself; somewhere else; one with someone else.

Question: How is it to be like a puppet?

M: You don't know.... Do you? When you become Lord of the Universe, you become a puppet, really! Nothing else; not 'you'. Not 'I', not 'you' no egos, no pride, nothing else. One with humbleness; servant. Very, very beautiful. Always in divine bliss. Creating your own environment - wherever you go, doesn't matter. Like my friends used to play and I used to sit right in the corner of my ground and meditate (laughter).

She wants to change places with me! I wish I could change places with everyone, and give one hour of experience to everyone! But it's not possible.

My experience was a little different. When I became Lord of the Universe, I first felt like a small, pouched animal. Well, a marsupial, frankly. Why not just say so? I felt like a marsupial. Sure, later, after a year or two, I became a puppet but not right away. What's this guy smoking anyway?

When I became Lord of the Universe, I didn't become a puppet or a marsupial, either one. I just looked at myself in the mirror one day and noticed how perfect I looked. I suddenly realized that people should kiss my feet and do whatever I told them to do. I had another realization, about money, and how it should flow through my fingers at great speed. Simultaneousy I came to understand how nothing is real without me. Of course I wasn't under any illusion about how difficult it would be to get other people to understand all this, and that the liberal press would most likely be a problem.

'If you have any questions about your duty, about your service, that pertain to me, ask me. If you don't, that automatically means that you are going to go out and hold the responsibility of the duty that has been assigned to you. Right? I mean, do I make myself clear? Yes?'

[Someone asks Maharaji a question: ' Some of us have received this service by default. Somebody might have left, or no one else would take it.']

'It doesn't matter. Do you understand yourself as a premie who has realized this Knowledge or not? You are a premie. Right? When you received this Knowledge, you dedicated your life to me. Right? If you are so fake and phony as to refuse your duty, as to regret your duty, then I don't think you are even a premie. And if you are a premie and have dedicated your life to Guru Maharaj Ji and you want to do service to Guru Maharaj Ji, it doesn't matter what service Guru Maharaj Ji assigns to you. '

MAHARAJI SAID THOSE THINGS posted above (and the many other satsangs/talks he gave and published)?

Most posters over at Pia's site say they have had knowledge for more than twenty years, one for thirty years. They were around then, when he spoke like that, FOR AT LEAST A DECADE.

On Pia's site, they infer a deep respect for m and value his high integrity, but how? when there is denial he spoke like that, even when there is evidence to show he did (as in Susan's posts above and on EPO).

A common response to what he said in the past is 'You didn't take that seriously did you (you idiot)? I never did. I took it all with a grain of salt'.

Did they not take what he said seriously, if not, this also does not suggest respect. Why would you follow someone you didn't take seriously?

If we fast forward ten years what will be said about today's speak - 'oh boy, you didn't take it seriously when he told you to enjoy life and just breathe, did you?'

Subject: Musings of Dr. Ed
Message:
Edd Hanzelik, a physician from California, has come to the defense of those awful attacks on his master over on the 'It Ain't So,' website. Dr. Ed says:

I have never met anyone in my life who has encouraged me to think for myself and be as fully independent as Maharaji has.

Did this include the times Maharaji said that your 'mind' was to be ignored, and when he commanded you to never leave room for doubt in your mind? Did that really encourage Dr. Ed to think for himself? How about when he said that if you ever stopped practicing knowledge that you would smash into a thousand pieces? Did that encourage independence and free thinking?

Dr. Ed also said:

He has fought every vestige of cultish attitude that has a tendency to creep into a work such as his.

What does Dr. Ed consider a 'cultish attitude?' A couple of months ago, when Maharaji had thousands of his followers line up and kiss his feet in Australia, did that have anything to do with a 'cultish attitude?' It's quite a vestage if you ask me.

I can say that Maharaji is a kind, generous, wise person, with an extraordinary capacity to enhance the lives of those who sincerely want to learn about what he is offering.

How well does Dr. Ed actually know Maharaji? Is he one of his friends? Does he go over to 'the residence' for dinner and such? How does he know that Maharaji is 'kind, generous and wise?' Does he have any examples of philanthropic work Maharaji has done for the benefit of mankind? Has Maharaji ever given Dr. Ed money? Just wondered.

Message:
How does Ed know M as a friend? All of the above Joe. He goes to dinner at the residence. He's one of M's physicians. He was pivotal when Marolyn had her aneurism. They're friends.

A long time ago a black premie in South Africa (when South Africa was still under apartheid) told M. he wanted at least one of his sons to experience life in a non-racist environment and asked if M. could help. M. talked to Dr. Ed and his wife about it and they agreed to host one of the man's sons, Tabo. Tabo lived with the Hanzeliks for a year or more. I think Tabo was close to Hansi's age, and also close in age to the Hanzelik's daughter. Tabo was regularly at the residence, playing with the Rawat kids.

Ed is a wonderful, wonderful man: kind, loving, balanced, lives with integrity, and has one of the purest hearts I've ever seen. He has had his share of personal challenges and grief, and met them gracefully.

He was married with a child, so didn't live in the ashram. That fact, and his unique relationship with the Rawats, may contribute to his not having suffered the abuses (and joys) that ashram premies experienced. He probably didn't ever hear the fire-and-brimstone satsangs that the ashram premies and community coordinators were subjected to, and was not on the receiving end of punitive directives from mahatmas/initiators. He may have been protected from all that. Consequently, he has a different view and experience than the 'common premie' and what he states on Pia's site probably IS his real experience. He has a different vantage point. He has a deep, abiding love for M.

99.9% of Maharaji's followers do not know him personally, and never spent any personal time with him, nor are they ever likely to. Hence, all they had was what Maharaji told them to do, which included total dedication and surrender, threats, schizophrenic views of one's own mind, rejection of family and friends, denigration of education and career, and general withdrawal from the world.

Most premies never had the chance to balance that with a personal relationship with their Master, which seems to have tilted the balance for Dr. Edd in the other direction.

The problem with Dr. Edd is the same as the problem with Erica Andersen. Dr. Edd needs a social conscience, something that allows him to see beyond his own, personal, apparently positive, personal relationship with Prem Pal Singh Rawat.

Dr. Edd, what about everyone else?

Been There,

You seem to know Dr. Edd as an extremely honorable person whom you respect a great deal. If he is all that you say he is, then I only have one complaint. I will address my complaint directly to Dr. Edd in case he is reading here for any response from the exes to his message on IAS.

-

Dear Dr. Edd,

I do not know you, but have heard very good things about you, mostly that you are a man of sincerity and integrity. I do not doubt your love of Maharaji and/or Knowledge. Nor do I assume any responsibility to dissuade you from your own experience. But I want to say that, as a long-time premie and now an ex-premie, I found your message on the new website AIS to be somewhat deceptive. I think it gives a misleading impression.

You seek to assure your readers that Maharaji is most certainly not the head of a cult. And you tell them that Knowledge, which Maharaji gives, has brought about great joy and fulfillment for you. You say that the gift is given freely and if practiced as prescribed, it works wonderfully. But I am very sure that you are quite aware that Maharaji gives Knowledge with the instruction that the receiver must commit himself as a life-long student of Maharaji as the Master, that without the Master, the Knowledge 'has absolutely no meaning,' to quote Mr. Rawat directly. You left that part out. Didn't you.

Life-long commitment to Maharaji as the giver and source of our inner experience is what exes are objecting to. This sort of commitment and this sort of giving credit to the Master is exactly what cults are all about. Pure and simple.

Shame on you. Please do have your own experience and be happy about it, but please, please do not purposefully misinstruct other people. Tell the truth, Sir, simply tell the truth, without embellishments and careful omissions that give the wrong impression.

In your message there was not one ounce, not one tiny iota, of gratitute toward the true source of your heart's experience. You do not give any praise, or any credit, to the real giver of breath. All of your gratitude goes toward Maharaji, above everything, everything else. What about your own soul, what about your own innate love, the love inside that you were born with, before Mr. Rawat was born?

I can tell you, Dr. Ed, that ex-premies do not have any desire at all to distort the truth, or to mislead people about Maharaji and Knowledge, to spread false rumors. Contrary to Pia's claims, we do not lie. We simply tell it as we see it. The difference between us and you is that you carefully measure out your words to correspond with a misleading public image of Rawat and you fail to tell the whole story. Because you know that when the average person knows the whole story, they will see that Maharaji and Knowledge is a cult, following the well-known definition and understanding about what constitutes a cult.

I feel that you would do better to give credit where credit is most certainly due, to that mysterious power which brings forth life as we know it, and as we partake of it. I should think that at least it deserves a mention. Perhaps forming an allegiance to a flesh and blood guru figure is easier and more concrete, but that is, in my opinion, a very grave mistake.

So, I am sure that you will not agree with my opinions about Mr. Rawat. I do not expect you to. But let us agree about the need to speak the truth, the whole truth, as we perceive it. Don't give people the impression that Knowledge is just a good feeling with no strings attached. Because that impression is a false one, it is not an honest opinion, it is a lie.

Way, I understand your concern. To get the most out of anything takes a commitment. If you practice Knowledge and are a student of M., then you are committed to practicing Knowledge regularly and staying in touch with M. The promises people make are to 'give Knowledge a fair chance' and to 'stay in touch.' AND, M. leaves the door open. If, after giving Knowledge a fair chance you don't like it, or don't want to practice, or don't want to stay in touch, then don't. It's your choice. The heaviness of the old days have been long gone in a real way. That stuff is just not there any more. So it seems it is you who actually misrepresent the commitment, not Ed by omission.

Subject: Musings of Dr. Ed
Message:
Hi to various friends over here,

Hope everyone's having fun and adventures, amidst their mischief.

Dr. Edd is Maharaji's personal physician and, as such, knows him as well and as intimately as any Michael ever could dream, even on a rare day of relatively balanced reporting. He knows Maharaji, or Mr. Rawat, (whatever floats your goat) as up close and personal as can be conceived.

For this reason alone, any thinking person would treat his take on all this with a tiny bit of curiosity, openness or (dare we leap for it) respect. Unless you'd just like to dump relentlessly on anyone, indiscrimininately.

Without any logical reason. For a bizarre form of self-aggrandizement.

To no greater cause. Other than reverse wish-fulfillment.

Otherwise, listen to what others have to say for a second. Edd's a very good man.

Namasté to all my pals.

and best to all of you,

Skøal, Danny

Message:
Gee, Danny, thanks for the testimonial on Dr. Ed. Unfortunately, you do the thing you usually do, and ignore the details. So does Dr. Ed, but then with Maharaji a client, perhaps there is a bit of a conflict of interest there.

But if you bother to pay attention, Danny, I don't think anyone has questioned that Dr. Ed believes what he says, it's just a little difficult to accept his belief that Maharaji has gotten rid of 'cultish behavior' when he is, to this day, having thousands kiss his feet, or that Maharaji has always encouraged independent thought when he for many years, and I think currently, denigrates and demonizes the human mind. I would like to hear Dr. Ed's thoughts on that, yours as well, but if history is any indication, we won't get them.

By the way, Danny, were you in a cult when you danced around on the tarmac of the Houston airport talking about the Lord of the Universe, immortalized forever in the Lord of the Universe Video.

By the way, Danny, I'm sure both you and Dr. Ed are nice people, but that really is beside the point.

Subject: Presumably a well-paid physician?
Message:
Well at least your identifying Dr Edd's role in life stopped us mistaking him for a talking horse. For that I guess we should be grateful, Danny. But Joe was commenting on the absurdity and internal contradictions of what he posted on Pia's site.

And no, working close-up in any personal paid capacity is NOT going to guarantee the premie will see either the guru's true colours, nor the scale of his own self-delusion.

Why do you imagine it took Michael Dettmers so long to examine both M and the cult honestly? How about Anth - taught M's own kids and had plenty of incidental darshan over the years before seeing bullshit for what it was. Mishler, too, would have expressed himself in similar terms to Dr Edd before finally jumping ship.

I suspect having a professional qualification and privileged role in the Master's life may be more of a hindrance than an aid to clarity, since it allows a such premies to consider themselves among the most chosen of of the chosen few. Well-favoured elites within any organisation generally have the biggest problems with objectivity and self-scrutiny.

As for independence? The paycheck would surely bring a measure of added dependence - aside from the points Joe and Jerry have raised about the impossibility of being an independent-minded devotee. ('Independent-minded devotee' has to be the ultimate oxymoron.)

The same can be said about Mr Rawat. He is smart and successful and good and nice. But he wants his cake and eat it too. (I am You KNow Who but I also am not.) Can't be done. He needs to come clean and tell us that he too has been under the impression that his guru saved him when he obviously did not and that guruism is baloney.

I was hoping that 'It Ain't So' might be kinda fun, with the level of debate being raised a notch or two. But no, even Maharaji's personal physician can only come up with silly, transparent, well-worn inanities.

I thought there might be some meat to the new postings, since they openly acknowledge the existence of exes, but it's just ELK all over again. There still is absolutely no real response to our concerns.

I don't know what dictionary they are using, but mine says that a cult is: (1)devoted attachment to a person or principle, (2)a group of followers. So what is 'It Ain't So'? They are a group of followers who are devotedly attached to a person. Their website is the very essence of the definition of cult.

Pia,

Thank you for removing those lies about me. Like I said, I don't really expect an apology. You follow the man who doesn't know the meaning of the word, right? Hey, don't worry about it.

But, Pia, don't you realize how entirely counter-productive your site will be if you don't actually open it up to debate? It's one thing to avoid the issues, as Maharaji himself pretends to do. It's a little worse to post bald-faced lies like EV finally did on its FAQ page. But what you're doing -- dedicating a site to a one-sided argument -- Pia, that's nuts. Don't you realize that you're just inflaming the matter and, worse, sending all sorts of premies on a secret search to find out just what it is you're so exercised about? Thanks to you, every last person who logs into ELK, for instance, will see that there's a whole ex-premie internet presence somewhere out there, saying shit that you are so worried about you couldn't ignore, yet so afraid of you couldn't actually meet head on.

I know that you think you're doing something good for Maharaji here but, really, Pia, nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, you're right, time IS precious, for you particularly. I'm sorry to hear about your health and am particularly sorry that you've chosen such a dismal ambition to pursue, defending he who neither deserves nor can really benefit from your efforts.

Just look at the first batch of premies' comments you've put up. Do you think any of them would stand up to close scrutiny in a fair, open and informed exchange? Obviously not or else you'd invite us exes to join in the fun just so you could 'set us straight' in public. So, fine. That frightens you too much so you post these one-sided, silly comments, carefully screened to fit your cult mental mold. Don't you think we'll inevitably have just oodles of fun replying and correcting this nonsense outside your gate? And don't you think premies will get caught up in following the real debate, the one you're afraid to actually host?

Really, think about it. Have you ever heard of an issue-focussed media organ, such as is yours, that advocates a position, solicits letters from the public yet only publishes those that safely adhere to your view? That's got 'cult' written all over it, Pia. You're fooling no one.

Message:
One of the premies quotes this author and book. Well, I HAVE this book too....

she is leaving out a few things. The biggest one that the author went to Hans Jayanti to study premies in Orlando in 1975..the one with the floating stage. And this guy uses DLM as prime example of a cult. I am sending JM scanned pages of the book.

It is beyong bizarre that a premie would use this book as a reference for why it isn't a cult.

The premie (I think it was Josie Winter) is possibly hoping that by showing that Galanter's (an EXPERT, no less) criteria do not apply to DLM, the argument will be won - and even the DLM-related content will thereafter be seen as non-applicable.

But very funny, Susan. I wonder what, if anything, Pia will make of your correction. Hey - is Galanter still alive? I am sure he'd be quite tickled by the reference and back-handed compliment...

The first readers responses are up. It's brilliant. One person after another saying, 'No, definitely. I'm not in a cult. It's not a cult. Definitely not. No way. Really, I'm not in a cult.' Except for Fernando, who doesn't know what a cult is, but is 'very happy and joyful most of the time.'

It's really a hoot.

And then a load of testimonials saying, 'It's nothing to do with money. Nobody ever asked me for a cent. Money, what's that?'

It's incredible that they can't see what they're doing.

It's like a cop walking into a classroom with the teacher. Immediately a kid jumps up and says, 'It wasn't me that stole that money from your desk Miss. And I didn't throw the empty tin in the fish pond either. And I didn't spend the money I didn't steal on cigarettes at lunchtime either. Honest. It wasn't me.'

Plus, students of Version Control will notice the 'Lord, what's that. I'm just a bloke.' version of the Captain gaining momentum here.

Check this out, from Hernando, who, 'doesn't know what a cult is but is very happy and joyful most of the time'.

'Is Maharaji in this for the money? I have been supporting Maharaji's job in different ways. In 1996 and 1997 I was the treasurer of the community in Medellin, Colombia. I used to receive the money that people wanted to donate freely and with that money I used to cover all the expenses of the community. So, I know for sure that no money goes to Maharaji's pockets. On the other hand I know that Maharaji does not charge any money either to speak about this Knowledge or to give this precious gift, because it never happened to me. '

Premies will not be able to relate to other premie's experiences, they never have, it's all about the BigHead. Also, premies who still love the LessThanPerfect Master will acknowledge how extreme their perceptions are and say 'Hey Wait, I never gave it much thought, but that's just not true, he DID say or do THAT'

This page is more likely intended for ASPIRANTS, not premies. No, not premies, they are walking JOURNALS. The BigHead is going to start over with fresh Meat...the idiots who never remember what he said or saw what he did or believe what has been rumored will stay, but that's a big marketing mistake for EV.

Yeah, selling software cab give rise to some interesting questions. But no, Danielle's earning an honest living as a writer, Salon's a quality mag.

Security does work better without selling. Commercial secrets hamper open sharing and critical peer review. Theories and algorithms suffer as a result. Security engineers talk about how security through obscurity is inevitably compromised by brute computing power.

Using commercial security software on an MS platform is better than nothing, but the bad news is you can rely on it that some current or ex MS bod knows exactly how to get through it.

The no secrets alternative is more secure.

Message:
Dear Michele,

Just as a fellow human being, I feel like you are going thru a very difficult patch. My holy spirit or intuition, as you call it, picks it up loud and clear. Certainly an agitation that now seems to be stretching out over weeks, if not months or years.

And calling out for help, AS you proclaim your freedom from all.

Obviously,a lot of your current reality system is wrapped around the concept of a Personal Savior(s?). While your version of that belief is not strictly conforming to Church Lady standards at DLM,Self-Realization or Vatican offices, at the same time it is, I feel, the SOURCE of your agitation.

I suggest to you that IT (that belief system, not Maharaji or 'cultic' Elan Vital/ DLM, or the blaggards at this Forum) is at the root of this problem/conflict you experience.

The savior concept has upsides that are enormous and well documented. That's why 90% + of religious people have them. And every one comes wrapped in a belief system. For reasons we could all argue til the cows come home,the SAVIOR CONCEPT along with the Hindu view of life and Maharaji's sweet playful out of the box charisma, made sense to ALL OF US in the 70's. So as good soldiers of God we swallowed the system whole. All of us played different roles within that larger belief system,with varying degree of intensity, but he was our God, or main man or special friend, or whatever.

HOWEVER THE BELIEF SYSTEM THAT WE ALL BOUGHT HAS COME UNDER INCREASING STRAIN OVER THE YEARS. Part of that was certainly brought about by some very questionable behavior by the central figure. Also large portions of the original group goals have not been met. THEN THERE ARE THE PROBLEMS WITH ANY 'HAPPENING' becoming ORGANIZED (or synchronized). Also, MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE have grown and evolved as individuals. AND IN MANY WAYS, ORGANICALLY, HAVE OUTGROWN THE BELIEF SYSTEM we all happily coexisted under. Even Maharaji.

When we outgrow belief systems we have to Trust Ourselves and CHUCK THEM. This is my most important suggestion to you.

So some have left and moved on, and are confronted with the at times horrifying and other times anger-filled task of finding a new operating or belief system, and socially reengineering lives, families, and relationships. Others that remain, must cut and paste or lightly disengage to keep coherent and functional under the continuing aegis of a Savior. At times I view the remaining participants in the Rawat Club like people playing that kid's game TWISTER. As the teacher (or the DLM people) come up with a new stance or historical 'do-over' ( like 'I never presented myself as a leader' ) those remaining must put their 'left Elbow on Green ', and frantically try to keep balance.And their stories straight. Why ? To get the emotional benefits of staying under the 'Shelter of the Lotus Feet.'

And that is a very powerful, soothing, shelter to give up! Even if the shelter is looking not so great anymore from the outside; it is still a magnificent experience inside.

From my recollections, I think we have met and you were an artist, & were a personal art instuctor for Mr Rawat and had quite a bit of personal interaction with Prem Pal.I may be wrong, but I think not. Your name at that time was Mitchell. Maybe pre the marriage you referred to.

As you know some people can paint in the style of a MASTER of art. And if there is a forgery, 95% of the people wouldn't know the difference. And would get the benefit of art ownership, aesthetics,status, self worth, etc.(in fact my wife and I saw a Danny Devito comedy on that subject last nite). Many still enjoy Maharaji as leader/savior/best friend despite it all. Is that OK ? I think so.I have loads of friends and ex-friends that still nestle under the shade of the Maharaji savior belief System.

HOWEVER, 90%+ of previous initiates have moved on. Among those are astute and passionate observers of Master Art as well, and are certain that things were not as advertised. Does the Forum Forgery squad do anyone harm by pointing out False Master Pieces? I think not. In fact, some consider it duty, or Service(as we used to call it). Especially for those who are cuttint the teeth of their spiritual adulthood.

There is a point where an individual moves beyond master and becomes their own.(this is my belief system CURRENT ONE-all belief systems are subject to change !) And believes in themself with the same conviction and surety that they once believed in their Maharaji of choice! (Pat C would call it the return of the Mojo. Thelma of course would put it in terms Red Heels would enjoy . . .)

And when they do, they are ushered into the true Kingdom of Heaven (if one wants to use that phrase), the one with no middleman (or women). you and source. no brokers. That is the goal that each has the innate sovereign right and opportunity to experience. It is the Knowledge of All Knowledges! And you,it turns out are YOUR ULTIMATE and only True Savior ! ( if you meet the real Jesus, I assure you he'll agree with that )

While it requires its own vibrational upkeep devotion, and awareness, when faced with love and compassion - like a single mother forced to raise their child alone - the compassionate universe provides support , tangible love, and bliss. And keeps providing. We become wards of the State. Of grace.

And the new life has its own rewards, taking us to spiritual maturity, and a more expansive arena of experience and love.

My wish for you is a comfort in your life and your beliefs about it. Clothe yourself in loose fitting belief systems. Be good to YOUR SELF (and your daughter) ! Accept no final substitutes.

ps. my email is above. I'd be glad to talk by phone as well, if you like.

Several points hit me.
Firstly, the Saviour complex/ belief system, which is at the centre of this cult's belief system. THIS IS the core of the whole thing. How and why premies finally let go of this...I find fascinating. I am very interested in hearing Michael Macdonald's story.
Secondly..Is he any good as a visual artist? I remember watching a video which contained footage of him sketching a landscape. He pussyfooted around, making tentative and ineffectual marks and, in the end, produced a totally boring drawing. Fearful and feeble!
Has anyone seen a good painting or drawing? Has anybody heard a good poem? what about his hypnotic music? Did he make it himself?
In other words, has he ever done anything creative? Apart from squirting coloured water at thousands of brain-dead followers? Thus making pretty patterns?

Message:
Michelle:

I like some of your quotes. But I really question why anyone wants or needs a 'Lord,' and what the hey that means. I think that people try to anthropromorphise the higher power (god is watching us, god loves me, etc.). Unfortunately, this sets in very finite terms something that is limitless. Thus we cheat ourselves, and religions and messiahs help us along this misguided path--although parts of their messages are helpful indeed. I also think people have a lot of magical thinking about this anthropromorphised god and his all-too-human 'messengers,' sometimes construed to be 'messengers of the Lord.'

It's not too hard for someone to tell people to 'look inside,' and it's not too hard for someone to take that step and do it. The only savior is in you--the true nature of your mind (including what we call 'the heart') and all that can be perceived. But what you hear is for you and not everyone else. There are not messengers that are chosen to get messages and then beat the rest of the world over the head with them.

Well, some people self-appoint, and others vote them in. I suppose there are even reluctant saviours, Jesus seeming, at times, to be one of them. Thus are religions, cults and other organizations that co-opt our own direct experience made. Think for yourself. To a large extent, I believe you do.

Questions are good, going inside is good. Be easy on yourself. I'll try to be easy on you.

Jim Hightower IS right on. He is an articulate and humorous, if somewhat cynical, columnist and advocate for progressive politics. I wonder what he thinks of the guru, and thus how his opinion of you would be affected if he were to find out you're an advocate for M? Have you been out front with your friend?

Premies don't tell their friends about M, because they realize that 'the experience' is not just a pure inner experience and guidance from a pure and holy master. 'The experience' is a whole ball of wax - a collection of under-the-surface attitudes and behaviors (a lifestyle that you must adopt) that every premie secretly knows is cult-like and undesirable for all but a very very few.

By the age of two and half he was already sitting for long periods
of meditation and he encouraged others to do likewise....

When he was three years old, his father arranged a large procession
through the main streets of Delhi in his honor. Thousands of devotees and
interested people participated. At one point, a gigantic traffic jam halted the
procession. Little Satpal Ji himself stood up and directed the traffic so that
the way was cleared. So, even at a tender age, his innate leadership and
organizational abilities were evident.

Don't you just love it when they tell these stories? It makes it all so much more believable, doesn't it? .

His father passed away in 19th July 1966, bequeathing his mission and
unfinished work to his eldest son.

Is that right? I heard differently. In fact I heard differently, in so many words, from Satpal, himself. I could swear he was one of Maharaji's leading disciples once, just like daddy planned it. No? Wrong info, I guess. It's a good thing they're finally clearing it up (yes, I am being facetious).

When the time came, young Maharaj Ji
took command with his characteristic zeal and efficiency, dedicating himself
to fulfilling his father's dreams.

When would that time be, I wonder -- when Mom and he decided that Maharaji wasn't ALL THAT, after all? Well, better late than never, I guess.

I just read G's inactive post about enjoyinglife.org now having a link to Pia's site. The fools. Pia, in turn, has enough links of her own (eg. the Combat article translated into English) for casual premie surfers to easily discover the nature of the 'allegations' (facts) surrounding Guji. Then when curiosity gets the better of them, many will find there way here - not least to read Michael Dettmers' testimony.

In the 3+ years since the ELK site went online the editorial team (should I say 'creatives' ?) have studiously avoided making ANY references to the existence of ex-premies, nor have they dropped the slightest hint that things might be less than rosy in the garden - even editing and rewriting contributors' 'Lives' entries to sustain that illusion.

Not so any more. Pia's site and ELK's link to it is probably the most spectacular own goal EV have managed to date.

Haven't they yet realised there is no such thing as good publicity? As M used to say: 'You can't fight fire with fire'...

I am actually amazed how explicit is Pia's appeal for premies to help her challenge the accusers:

This is a call for people who know Maharaji and who practice Knowledge to join me in speaking out to set the record straight and show how the picture being painted by those who call themselves 'ex-premies' is both false and irresponsible.

Ok, maybe 'explicit' was the wrong word - she doesn't explain anything, does she? But how can premies show a picture to be false and irresponsible unless they go and examine that picture for themselves? Pia is (unwittingly?) encouraging them to do just that.

Like I said, a mind-bogglingly ill-judged initiative all round. Has M really given his approval, I wonder?

There will be tears before bedtime, that's for sure.

Hi ger,

One thing I notice here alot is folks saying what other folks should do or making value judgements on what other folks did. I don't think you should do that...hahahaha (that was a joke, son!)

But seriously, ger, I think that when somebody feels a passion for something as Pia obviously does, it increases blood circulation and ups other life functions that I cannot describe, not being a specialist. And if she gets disillusioned at some point along the way or learns something she did not know before that widens her horizons, she will definitely be better for it.

I cannot see a meeting where the EV's or Maharaji's staff called Pia in and said 'Pia, we need you to be our poster child'. No.
I think it's from her heart, and then she probably got help to set it up.

Yes, just her getting involved in the question of criticisms of M & K, is bound to stir up the mud at the bottom of her consciousness - even if she is merely shadow-boxing at present.

But there is no way she can ignore the volume of articulate, non-hateful ex-premie emails she has received. Or at least she can't ignore them without eventually becoming aware that she is NOT treating the subject either openly or honestly. One way or another, her position is sure to budge - if only a few degrees from its present stance.

Here's something Ivette Belfort Mattos of Sao Paolo, Brazil is feeling:

Nottingham will be my privilege

Nottingham will be my next step.
The next step of this long climb.
I will keep my focus on this journey.
I will need to be as light as possible.
Even as everything else continually changes,
I will focus on this beauty moment inside.
In Sherwood Forest my heart will rest.
There I will listen to the voice of my heart.
I will accept from it the undefined joy.
With sincere happiness, I am flying to it.
My heart wants to be busy evolving with
clarity and pure satisfaction.
I want to embrace it.
At this time, I will not be alone.
I know, I feel, that it will be my moment,
my rare opportunity, my precious fortune:
Nottingham will be my privilege

What kind of wooden, religious jargon is this? I think she's swooning over some childhood memory of a Robin Hood comic book or something. Anyway, don't know where she gets the money but Ivette's on her way to sunny England. She thinks the trip will make a difference in her life.

This woman is a religious fruitcake. Plain and simple. She's a prime, ripe sample of the fruit of Maharaji's tree. This is what you turn into if you're doing it right these days. Isn't that so? After all, ELK is pretty well the only cult-sanctioned website that allows premie's a voice, it screens everything like crazy and yet this is the stuff of its most prolific posters. The only real regulars are all like Ivette. They all seem like fanatical sisters in some bizarre catholic nunnery. This is it. This could have been you.

I'm sure there's a cosmic connection here somewhere with the fourth technique. Anyhow, Nottingham is named after a family called 'Snott', and originally was called 'Snottingham'. There is supposed to be a direct descendant of the original family living just outside the town, in Ruddington.

Is that everybody thinks I'm the origin of this! Far from it!

Gilles Alfonsi and 2 other exes (who have nothing to do with EPO) are the origin of the review.

Then they got in touch with me for advice, some help, and my interview. I've also helped proof-reading, that's all !!!

Nobody believes me, they think I've manipulated the journalists and the communist party in France. What a laugh !!!

2nd PART - INVESTIGATION - 3

Hazardous reconversion of the gourou Maharaji
Sympathetic nerve network with the service of a professor of meditation or tentacular organization to the enrichment servicing of a despot, the old Mission of the Divine Light tries a hazardous reconversion. With the danger of the faith?

Pascal Damoinet

In 1973, in Divine Actualités, the newspaper of the ex-Mission of the Divine Light, become Vital Elan in 1983, one glorifiait ' the perfect Master ' ' to show Him our recognition without terminal for the infinite treasure that It gave us so liberally and for Its Grace which It does not cease spreading on us all His disciples '. The gourou was then nobody other but the alive incarnation (of the son) of God: ' Let us think that in a score of days, the whole world will celebrate the anniversary of Jesus Christ - the perfect Master of 2000 years ago - in a profusion of meats, alcohol and smoke and that on this occasion the greatest annual commercial deal must take place. Let us realize that the Perfect Master of our time is... alive there... that It will be 16 years old, and that we are His disciples. '

The financial stake was approached without complex: ' Mahatma Ji often says that to the Indies, people, that they are or not disciples - never come in front of Guru Maharaj Ji or one from Its Mahatmas the empty hands. We must always remember us that and especially, at the time of the anniversary of the Perfect Master. We should do the utmost to be able to offer to marvellous gifts (...) the disciples to him all are thus invited to constitute the kitty which must allow that '.

Family schism

In 1974, the mother of Maharaji, Subdued Ji, repudiates the marriage of her son with an American air-hostess, Marolyn Johnson, to which it gave the title of ' Durga Ji ' (name of an Indian goddess). The elder brother of Maharaji, Ball Bhagwan Ji, is charged by his mother with taking in hand the destiny of the Mission of the Divine Light. He becomes, after one period of implication in the Indian life political, ' Stapal Maharaj ', new gourou delivering Knowledge. At this period, Maharaji loses temporarily many disciples in India.

Development

The movement had the wind in poop in the Seventies, at the time of the Beatniks, of the voyages in India, the sexual release and the following days which sing. Maharaji gathered crowd, of meeting in festivals. At the time, the speech was hollow or funny. It made write to the Barber, July 18, 1978: ' Because the source which links them, say, it is this Indian chubby-checked fellow and almost beardless, large amateur of and jet sports cars, which a spiritual gossip writer recently described as ' half roll, Bouddha half '. Guru Maharaj Ji - lord of the Universe, king of Peace, revealing of the Light, divine incarnation, such are the titles that give him its excessively pious people - become perfect Master at the 8 years age, without to have ever read Bhagavad Gita, and by which preachings astonish by their flatness '.

Reconversion of Maharaji and its apparatus

**time-out** Maharaji, old main perfect, incarnation of God on ground, promise to found without delay délais the Peace universal and the Happiness for all, himself be change in professor of meditation, anxious de share the Knowledge.

The time changed, requiring successive adaptations which disorientated most faithful without allowing the renewal of the masses of candidates and premies. Elan Vital does not have any more tempting appearances vieillotes but of a remote philosophy, nor of a mystic. Formerly, its gourou adorned the clothes festifs of believing India: it resembles from now on any framework of bank. Maharaji always has eloquence, a capacity not very common to speaking about all, nothing to say by convainquant you that its play touches your being. But it is a clown whose show already seems to be seen and heard thousand times.

Remain however that Vital Elan still succeeds in joining together several hundreds of followers for its evenings vidéos. Each week, projections for candidates or premies join together a few tens of people, with the Campanile hotel of Puppet or the Bradford hotel close to the Madeleine for example. There are thus always some new recruits, pleasantly enca-drées by rescapés of the Seventies and Eighties. A circle a little further away from the central core will be always faithful, him also: some individuals whose no concerned association of the people would like but who are of long date of the benefactors and the financeurs of association.

And yet, for Vital Dash, the Humans right became a reference. A charter even states that the association made of the respect for human dignity a fundamental value, and than its action is led in accordance with the principles of the Universal Declaration of the Humans right. Is this to entreat the bad fate which makes be questioned thus the booklet, upon reading of the movement: but what is this thus that that sect?

Provincial ramifications of the sect continue to exist. And a European organization able to plan events, like the arrival of Maharaji on last 25 September in Paris, with the Palate of the Congresses, has a logistics and means significant. However, to fill the rooms, the coordinators of the movement rakes disciples of all Europe.

The hope

Although the organization plays low profile, its opponents, brought together in particular around the Internet site of the ex-premies, become impossible to circumvent. New receipts are installation: the retransmission by satellite of weekly emissions, subject to expensive acquisition of the essential hardware and of a subscription. There, the operation is malignant: it raises partially the problem of discretion, it still reinforces connect it freedom of the premy; it is based on technologies that each one, in our company, must from now on use. Therefore finds one in the recent meetings organized by Vital Elan, some young ewes, of higher social categories generally.

BUT PLEASE,

have it checked first by someone else, if you have problems translating some parts.

I'm quite busy these days, and can't send texts back and forth .....

This is a big job, and it will take time.

Maybe someone else here could help you ?
