You mean like these people: ""Sri Sri was touring California and my friends at a Kali temple asked him to come pay respects to the deity. Sri Sri had a list of demands that was well beyond what the tiny little temple could provide. All were left with the feeling that he was on a money and fame grab, "" http://tinyurl.com/zhnkn ""When I first met Ravi Shankar, in spite of my immediate intuitive feelings to get away from him, I stuck around, because that Guru Principle seemed to be happening around him. And in spite of my unpleasant discoveries of him over time, I stayed because of that first experience. It's common, I think. People get hooked. Your friends who follow him are probably totally innocent about him and you may as well let them remain so unless they start throwing it all away for him. Some people have definitely benefited from him somehow. I did by learning just how I didn't want to be and what type of guru I definitely didn't want."" http://tinyurl.com/zhnkn <<What utter stupidity for anyone to utter anything > about anyone who hasn't had some experience with that > persons teaching and techniques.
