According to the Merriam- Webster dictionary, a Disciple is one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another. Could I then consider myself a disciple of Maharishi's? According to this definition, sure-- though my assisting in spreading his doctrine is on the relaxed side of casual. Do I accept that he had multiple sex partners in the late 60's and 70's. Sure, if he did. Do I even think about this once in an entire year? No.
The thing about Maharishi is he just has a vibe I particularly like. His radiance has a comfortable feel to me. End of story. Good vibe. And not good in a moral sense, but good almost in an artistic sense or a natural sense. Like the picture of the magnolia blossom I took yesterday morning. Can't really explain it. Same with Guru Dev. They both just have good vibes. I'm not one to get all intellectual about it. Just one of those things. So that's it. :-)
