The story I heard about Guru Dev's death; Was that Maharishi, was so overwhelmed, during his funeral; And when his ashes were in the Ganges River; That Maharishi dove into the water; And didn't come up for quite a while, And so thought, he might have drown... So, from this story, I see Maharishi as being the most emotional one; At the time... And still the most emotional one towards Guru Dev; And he gives all the credit for his teaching to: Guru Dev. I happen to think that God is in charge of when a person dies, and when a person is born; in conjunction with the soul. The only reason for such an attack on Maharishi; That I can see: 'When one attains any kind of power and money in this world... It brings along with it, many people who are jealous and envious of that power, and will do anything in response to their inferior feelings, and intentions. > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Marek Reavis" > <reavismarek@> wrote: > > > > Fine post.
