Thanks for these words- I would say the same: when I first saw him in New York, Madison Square Garden(funny Mohammad Ali, was fighting in another part of the complex at the time). I was on a TTC which was being held in Livingston Manor, and we were bussed down to NYC. My ex-wife and my sister met me there. During the lecture, Maharishi had everyone meditate, so I went down to get close to the stage; He looked so tiny and vulnerable sitting on the couch; I had the feeling that I would protect him, should anything happen(I usually never get these kinds of feelings, so intense). My ex-wife, was there, in front of me, and Maharishi was up on the stage, and was taking flowers, and walking toward people who were lined up to give him a flower. I just remember the feeling, that is too hard to describe, because it always did surprise me, the peace and love and devotion, which I would spontaneously feel in his presence. One time when he turned to look at me, I felt as though the whole ocean was turning to look- my poor little ego felt shakey then... He is one of a kind, no one in this world has had the same impact on me than him, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
