The reality outside of the incestuous guru-groupie ashrams of US/Europe/pseudo-India is far from the reality. MMY's edicts to prevent his psychophants from "contamination" by other truths was a control move to guarantee kowtowing fidelity.
For years, people traveling to India could (and did) explore other practices. In India it was even recommended by other gurus so that their followers could get a bearing on the ideas and praxis that were significant to their sampradaya. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Susan" wrote: > > > Nabby, the truth is that the no saint policy came directly from MMY. It was his very own and clear directive all along. It may be that a decision will be made to loosen up on that policy. But as far as I know, the entire movement is functioning under that same rule. Anything otherwise is considered OTP, altho no one in other countries may know about other saints or care so much as in the US. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 no_reply@ wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Buck" wrote: > > > > > The Prime Minister in this problem with the saints has created the movement culture of an underground of meditators.
