I replied to Paul via email, not here. Basically, Sattyanand's comments on this particular matter were to a mutual friend, not to me directly in this case. I did get to spend some time with him, however, and liked him a lot. He could get loose and fun to be around and "just one of the guys," something that Maharishi could never pull off in a million years, so it was fun hanging with Sattyanand and hearing stories of what things were like back "before it all got big and out of control."
