"If you read the puja, however, what is actually happening is the initiator is bringing Guru Dev, the Maharishi's dead teacher, to "my awareness." To the Maharishi, Guru Dev was a still living presence in the Absolute. So I've often wondered if the Maharishi thought of the Puja as being a sort of possession of the initiator by Guru Dev's spirit?" Mr Knapp on TMBlog.
I wonder where he got the idea that Maharishi thought Guru Dev was still a living presence IN the absolute? That does not even jive with Eastern metaphysics 101, the Guru Dev had reached 'Tat tvam asi' i.e. *Thou Art That*....it's too painful to go on it's so moronic, possessed?, gads!
