Embarassed, but not as embarassed as you are. I was just a naive pup at the time. I thought Maharishi was honest by accepted western standards. It took a long time to get closer to the truth.... Me, I'd have to hear the context around everything Maharishi said about SSRS's 'sweet poison' to make a judgement. He's probably ticked that SSRS gets better press or something... Sort of a guru pissing contest, maybe it's an Indian thang, who knows. And personally I don't care. I'll decide for myself. Seems like Sudarshan Kriya is an effective and helpful pranayama for many people that use it. JohnY
