I met wth Swaroopanand privately and he had nothing but good things to say about MMY and what he was doing in the world. Of course, he could have just been saying it to be nice to me, but it makes you question what the truth is.
Vaj, quoting Swaroopanand as the the true source about MMY is like asking the Republican Presidential Candidate to comment about the Democratic one during the campaign (and vice versa). Everything is circumstantial. Depending on who when, where and how the questions are asked, you may get a different answer. But its like you said Vaj, people will only accept what they want to. You clearly have your position on all this and nothing is going to change it. And so do I. The difference between us is that you claim I am a "drooling" TB. You know nothing about me and you assume a lot. I know MMY had his faults. But to me that is irrelevant. What I always loved and respected about him was that he set up TM to be a technique that was independent of him. So if he was a womanizer, a theif or whatever, what does that have to do with me? Nothing. I can enjoy TM, get the benefits as promised and really not give two shits about MMY or his personal life. You, on the other hand, have this buring desire to make him the devil, even though you say you have "transcended" your TM practice. Don't you have anything better to do with your time?
