No? being diabetic and eating
ice cream for a week is ignorant. Then
touting ayurveda above
medicine and still using medicine is the wrong
message. He's very
backwards. I bet you anything on earth that in The Mid
East you will
find some of the most charismatic and peaceful, beautiful
shaktifull
people you've ever gotten darshan from --- who are throwbacks
to the
dark ages.

Jim. I let go with a yell. If Jesus,
and Buddha, and Shankara, and Nanak
all couldn't enlighten the
world, and they left legacies which still
resonate, inspire us to
build worlds of greatness in our hearts and not in
the streets, and
which still guide, based on aspiration to be moral,
compasionate and
wise, then what makes someone think that some medieval
throwback to
some nonexistant dreamed of reality called Vedic
civilization,
ostensably merely some fantasy, how can such a master of
dimness
take the world to some higher ground. It's Bullshit. Maharishi is
bullshit, and I could also give someone a technique that I merely
shitted out on a shingle, with some great high falutin philosophy
and
it would move someone and they would follow, then give me their
bodies and
souls and money and children's money, and guess what. If
I was a
megalomaniac I would take it, and ask for more. Bye for now.
