In a conversation between a few guys over a beer leaning over the back of a pickup, when someone calls you a zoophilia pervert and infers that he just had sexual relations with your mother, if you don't speak up, folks just assume it's true. Go figure. So when you didn't speak up, or even take up for your own guru, I figured you agreed with the others that MMY was a just selling mantras for money in order to seduce young women. "The book by Judith would have been more believable if there had been more details about what the Maharishi actually had to say to her. It's a very slim paperback, just 219 pages with about a dozen ripped-off photos, and really poor ones at that. Apparently Judith actually took only three photos of the Maharishi in the two years she was in the TMO. What is more interesting to me was the part about Ms Pittman and her position in the Maharishi's so-called 'inner circle'. There is one photo of the Maharishi sitting at a dinning room table with the inner circle that is really humorous though. He looks like a 'midget' compared to the others at the table. When I saw it my first thought was how in hell would someone as attractive as Judith want to be having sex with a small guy like that, if you know what I mean."
