Let's refresh our memories of the context, since Vaj keeps snipping it. Here was the quote Vaj offered as proof that George was no longer a devotee of MMY: "My life belongs the Lord Krishna now. I'm just the servant of Krishna. I've never been so humble in all my life, and I feel great." And here's the quote OffWorld provided to which Vaj was responding: "Maharishi only ever did good for us, and although I have not been with him physically, I never left him." I don't see any obvious incompatibility there (nor is there any mention of ISKCON in Vaj's quote). For that matter, MMY has never encouraged devotion, in the sense of worship, of himself. I don't know whether George switched his allegiance from MMY to ISKCON, and in so doing definitively rejected MMY, as Vaj claims. My point is that Vaj is going to have to do a lot better than he has so far if he wants to prove that is anything more than "unfounded rumor," if not "desperate disinformation." Vaj has conveniently flexible standards for proof. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> AIDS in India: A "lurking bomb."
