yes, after being soul-starved for so long, the West was so very hungry for the knowledge that Maharishi brought.
The fact that he DID bring a practical technique that worked magnitudes better, and instantly in many cases, than what was then commonly available, and in addition to him looking like a holy man from exotic India caused many to lose any objectivity towards Maharishi. We overlooked his faults and made a big deal of his successes and partial successes. No wonder it went to his head. I am pretty sure I would've acted the same way had it been me instead of Maharishi. A good lesson learned to be sure. --- In [email protected], "Ingegerd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think you are right about this. I have collected a lot of documents > from the early 60th.
