I reckon time will tell - wasn't Judith Borque the first to very clearly state
that Maharishi was sexually active? I mean I know there were rumors, but Judith
was the first to state it clearly and there were plenty of people who said she
was making it up who could have been said to be in a position to know, like
Jerry Jarvis who still today asserts that the allegations are utterly false.
He said so as recently as about 3 or 4 months ago to my friend Bill who talked
to him several times over the phone and asked him point blank if the sex rumors
were true. Jerry insists that he and other personal secretaries and skin boys
saw none of it, not even hints. So if Gail Tredwell remains the lone voice,
then maybe she's just being mean, but I am betting others will come forward and
give credence to her tale.

Except, of course, for the
fact that Nabby is right. We've been hearing
complaints about Amma here on FFL for years. I believe
there's even an anti-Amma Yahoo Group. So it really is a
little odd to see Rick saying Tredwell's is a "lone
voice."
Maybe
Rick didn't express himself clearly; perhaps he'll
explain further what he had in mind. There’s definitely
an anti-Amma group, and she’s had critics all along. What
I meant was that she makes certain accusations in her book
for which there is no corroborating evidence, and which are
refuted by many in a position to
know.
Ah, the classic
cultist response. If someone believes something you
don't agree with about *your* spiritual teacher, cast
aspersions on his teacher, or who you imagine his teacher
is.
Where this strategy
falls flat is when dealing with people whose primary
identification in life is *not* their spiritual teacher, or
their former ones. Those whose lives still revolve around
the people they consider their spiritual teachers never seem
to get this.
As far as
I've been able to figure out, they simply cannot imagine
life *without* having given oneself over to some spiritual
teacher, so they cannot imagine others being able to do so.
So they try to jab at them with taunts that would only be
meaningful to cultists like themselves. It's kinda the
Ultimate Projection. Go figure. :-)

Questions for Rick
Lone
critic ? Shows how blind you have become. Try Google for
critics of Amma and you will have more than one hit, to say
the least.

The truth is never black and white. But unlike with MMY,
Gail Treadwell seems to be a lone voice. Very little if any
corroborating evidence for her most egregious accusations.
Bronte Baxter, who posted on FFL for a while some years ago,
was her editor, and has a bone to pick with Amma and with
gurus in general.
