By now I think we know who the real ankle-biters on FFL are: one is the
owner, one is the editor, and the other two have left the group for
their own reasons.
We will probably never know for sure what happened between the
participants because MMY is gone, and he can't be cross-examined. I
think it was very unfair that Judith waited until after MMY passed to
make her claims - that way she could not be be contradicted.
There are a few still left here who would take any opportunity to
denigrate our teacher and try to confuse us as to the truth about our
spiritual path and MMY's teachings. One is a long-time informant who
persists in her insidious and false claims on this and other subjects.
Go figure.

*RJ, This is good judicious writing about a tough subject. Thanks for
the short take on this circumstance with Maharishi. I sense a lot of
people now look back on it this way too. I feel he did some pretty
large great things with lasting affect and may have blown the
potential of it all also with this too. Evidently he was also a high
risk kind of guy and very human. Some of the real hurt neganauts will
proly never forgive or forget by nature. Different people filter and
deal with dissonance differently. Seems that what you write here is
fair reconciliation of a middle ground between complete deniers on the
one hand and complete haters on the other. Thanks, I appreciate the
writing attempt at some rationale in between. *

So, what would MMY's sexual activty, or lack of it, have to do with your
spiritual progress on the path to being a siddha? Go figure.
So far as I can tell, there is not one single shred of evidence that MMY
engaged in any improper sexual activities relating to his relations with
his students. But, even assuming that MMY did engage in acts of a
private, sexual nature, why do you suppose some ankle-biters would want
to dwell on the unsubstantiated rumors contained in a paperback book? It
just doesn't make any sense.
It is interesting that, in contrast to the confessions of Judith
Bourque, another previous MMY secretary, Conny Larsson, writes nothing
about any observed personal sexual activities pertaining to MMY. Judith
was a TM meditator who was initated in Sweden alomg with Conny Larsson.
Her experiences with the TM technique inspired her to enroll in the
Maharishi's teacher training course at his academy in India. So, in
Judith travelled to India to study under the Maharishi and to become a
TM Teacher - this was at the 1968 Rishikesh TTC.
According to Bourque, she became more than just a student at the academy
- she became the Maharishi's private secretary and more. In fact, Judith
says she fell in love with the Maharishi! At the completion of the
course Judith was appointed to be the Maharishi's "private secretary",
although Judith had exactly zero experience or training to do
secretarial work having no training higher than that of a clerk, if
that. Go figure.
So, Bourque spent two years working for the MMY, first at the TTC in
Rishikesh in 1968, and later in Switzerland, until TTC 1970. According
to Bourque, she had sexual relations with the him, on numerous occasions
during that time.
Apparently she was infatuated with MMY. As part of her compensation MMY
bought her a few saris and some jewelry to wear in order to cover up her
nakedness. She was one of the Maharishi's 'inner circle', which included
Jerry Jarvis and Ms. Jemima Pittman. This was after the Beatles and
after the formation of SIMS.
But, the real question is: Is there anything wrong with getting naked
and having "naked sex" on a bear-skin rug? Why not just be open about it
and tell everyone you want to screw the guru so you can get closer to
him than anyone else - get some power so you can boss people around?
