No, on every point. I had 17 shows last month and one was in a "bar." I wont try to straighten you out on the style of music I am spending my life preserving. But claiming a fulltime artist is living a safe mainstream life is a bit of a stretch. That is what we give up to pursue our dreams. > > > > I have a right to judge and criticize Guru Dev for sending a message > > to women that they were not allowed to be in his presence. > > Yes, surely you are much better mentally equiped to know what is best > for Guru Devs disciples on the other side of the globe trying to > stabilize celebacy than Guru Dev. No doubt about that. Everything you > write proofs this point. You sure it wasn't Guru Dev's dhoti with the pitched tent in front? Trying to deny the woman repressing nature of the Vedic culture that Guru Dev represented, isn't going to work. And justifying one of the Popes of Hinduism not allowing women in his presence isn't possible either. He was sending a clear message, as did Maharishi, on the non equality of women. Blaming women for men's boners is also VERY old school. The culture already insisted that women cover their hair with their sari when visiting a "holy" man to keep their inie from becoming an outie. Separating women from men is common in that part of the world so Guru Dev could have met with women separately if he was worried about his disciple's boners. If he was who you claim, Guru Dev was denying women the most valuable thing in life, darshon in the presence of a living master. And this sacrifice for that whole gender was worth it to keep the trouser trout from jumping in the stream? > > > > I knew plenty of women on Mother Divine who could have been much > more > > effective teachers than many guys on Purusha, but they were told not > > to worry their pretty little heads about teaching campaigns and just > > close their eyes like good little nuns.

I am taking a list of names of mothers raising kids who would like to slug you for that comment. You are reflecting your ol' master's ol' timey religion. Women are the weaker sex doncha know. I will let a woman field this one if they care to. But my point remains. The way Mother Divine was told to go rest as a basis for the "boys" (diminutive intended) activity proves my point. Maharishi was a sexist who believed that women are the weaker sex. >
