I had few blissful experiences the most powerful one was during a puja. Does this mean I don't think he is a crook? No. I think we are all capable of generating these experiences within ourselves. They are extremely powerful. When we associate them with a person, you get a cult of personality or a religion. Wether the object of your worship is sinister or just a plain old crook determines how much of your life is taken advantage of or destroyed. It is similar to a parent that sexually abuses a child. Despite knowing what has been done to them the child still loves the parent and tries forever to integrate how that all powerful loving parental figure could be so horrific and destructive to them. They can't do it and this conflict destroys their lives almost all of the time. These gurus take our spiritual yearning and pervert it for their own selfish sick desires. Wether it is money or sex or just getting off on the power. Look at the bizarre lengths some of the people here go to justify the actions of Maharishi. I thing Brigante wins the prize on this group for the most complete disconnect from the reality of Maharishi's actions and who he thinks he is! OMG a web site devoted to how M is ok and those around him are responsible for all the bad stuff of the TMO. I think he even has footnotes. It is probably a daily struggle for him and causes him much heartache (I'm sure he will disagree.) I am sure there is the occasional guru figure that has good motives and tries to do something for people. I don't think this happens very often because they would not try to be gurus and specially revered if they were not egomaniacs or pathological in some way. easyone
