Did you know Einstein had affairs constantly? Does that invalidate your knowledge of his Theory of Relativity? I think you wanted Maharishi to be some sort of god-like, parental and paternal, authority figure. Then when he turns out to have a personality all his own, all you spiritual kiddies go to pieces, making it your apparent life's work to get back at "Dad". Pretty pathetic, if you ask me. I think there is an aspect of prudishness going on here, an idea that having sex with another human being is somehow low and base and indicative of a less developed human being. It is Puritanical, short sighted and an indoctrination from religions and various spiritual teachings from down the ages. If people would just stop for a second and think about it they might realize they are more brainwashed than they realized. No one can say for sure that climaxing sexually is either a waste of energy, an indicator of Neanderthal-like behaviour or should otherwise disqualify one from having something useful to teach. If MMY was a virgin I would have far more serious questions about his wisdom or his knowledge of life than if he had experienced love or desire or even just the vagina of a woman. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : In fact, Marshy could easily be described as a spiritual degenerate, rather than an example of spiritual regeneration.
