************** I'm not sure if it's clear to readers what it means to say that critics of mahatmas wash away their sins: it means that people who insult mahatmas take away the past sinful karma of the mahatmas and place the burden on themselves because of their sinful and stupid attacks on the mahatmas (and Maharishis are Mahatmas): Vasistha: "They who...treat such holy men disrespectfully, surely invite great suffering." p. 34, http://tinyurl.com/6xndt Paul Mason and Rick Archer and other fools think they are doing the right thing by insulting Maharishi, but they'll find out different later, probably in another lifetime when it's too late to do anything about it.
