I went to one of her satsangs at the Best Western when she visited FF back in the '90s. People were ooohing and ahhhhing and giggling uncontrollably in response to her words, and in my mind I was like, "WTF is the matter with you people? She hasn't said anything intelligent! Just gibberish and newagey fluff!" I got nothing out of it, and I left, $20 poorer and feeling embarrassed for the giggling throng. I think today I'd understand what she's saying, but if she's anything like Neelam, who's also in the Papaji lineage (and, who just sits up front, dismissing everything with "it is just story" in her thick Polish accent), I would probably still not get anything out of it.
