So, how do you think Marshy got on the veranda, by climbing over the fence in the middle of the night? Or, maybe Marshy crashed the site by hiding in a closet until Guru Dev came out on the veranda.
According to Paul Mason, Marshy's biographer, it is possible that Marshy had been intitiated by Guru Dev nineteen years before Marshy became a brahmacharya (Mason 21). > > According to the official account, Raj Varma had been > > a devotee of Guru Dev for many years before Marshy > > actually met Guru Dev.

Guru Dev was in full sight of the general public for close to sixty years, at probabbly every single Kumbha Mela and Ardha Khumba Mela, in front of millions of people. His photographic image was probably on the alter of Uncle Raj Varma for years in the family living room. And when Uncle Raj Varma was painting all those images of Guru Dev I guess you think that Marshy was totally blind. Go figure. Work cited: 'The Maharishi' By Paul Mason Element Books, 1994
