So you DID get it, but rather than clarify the confusion originally, you had to put in a joke at my expense. And you're right, I don't believe in the meeting of long-dead people the way Saul/Paul of Tarsus and Jim describe. That doesn't mean that I'm right and they are wrong, but it DOES point out that things can get very interesting (re: Christian CHurch, TMO) when people assign post-death meetings the same significance that pre-death meetings have. The same might be said (not sure) of MMY and the TMO itself since MMY claims to have had some kind of "direct inspiration" from his guru to start the TMO, apparently AFTER Guru Dev died. > > --- In [email protected], "sparaig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > > --- In [email protected], anonymousff > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "Premanand Paul Mason" > > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > Please, when and where did you meet Brahmananda Saraswati > face- > > to- > > > face? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > *Paradoxically* I never had the slightest inclination to > be > > in > > > > > > Maharishi's physical presence. > > > > > > > > > > > > and *paradoxically* the only guru who lived up to my > > > expectations > > > > > > when I met him face to face was Brahmananda Saraswati aka > > Guru > > > Dev > > > > > > (who was the only one I ever met face-to-face...).
