Or slap the pretentious label "Maharishi" on themselves. Good question. Sw. Rama was in some ways a perv, but he also did a lot of good-- hospitals for the poor, introduced many directly to samadhi through his powers and so on. He's yet another bizarre case. I had sent him a lengthy letter on Swami Brahmananda Sarasvati years ago--who had initiated him into his own practice Sri Vidya in person, outside his cave. The response to the letter was one night I was sitting in my home, then on Juniata River. This luminescent sphere with Sw, R. in it appears and immediately scans over all of my subtle body. After that I had no question he could not only enter other's bodies, but he also was Sri Vidya adept. Sw. R. could pierce the innermost bindu of the Sri Chakra in just a few minutes. Incredible really. I later talked to someone at the Himalayan Institute and shared my experience. She laughed and said 'oh yeah, a lot of people've had that experience.' ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
