Unlikely. I do most interviews over Skype.

Who judges that?

It took me awhile to offer a response.
I will soon offer more in a post regarding Guru Tattva.

Did you see the video “Guru Bandaru” where Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji
stands in a blazing Homa Kunda with 4 fires in each corner and not a singed
hair?
For 12 years this Agni Puja was performed.
You may see a human form but don't be fooled, He is Master of the Five Elements.

What Maha-Saints have come to Fairfield?
Curious as to who made Rick the annointer of who is considered a saint or that
“Batgap-ers are something so special?
I looked through his list. Rick should be so fortunate for such darshan of Sri
Swamiji.
If he wants to interview Him, he would need to come to Dallas, TX during the
next Guru Purnima, when Sri Swamiji will be at the most amazing Karya Siddhi
Hanuman Temple for 20 days.
I could most likely arrange it if the intention is pure.
About these "Maha" saints
What have they done for the world?
Do they have 9 Guinness World Records for World Peace?
Are their functions free?
Do 300,000 people flock to them in order to chant Hanuman Chalisa in their
presence?
Do hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life around the world sing
Hanuman Chalisa 14 billion times in the year to contribute to World Peace?
Do 70,000 line up hours before dawn on Makara Sankranti and Yugadi just to walk
in front of Him, not looking for a hug?
Do 100,000 attend Healing and Meditation concerts?
Do children as young as 5 years old find these so-called Maha Saints so
inspiring and attractive that they memorize the entire 700 verses of Srimad
Bhagavad Gita in 6 months?
Do these people you refer to manifest in 8 places at the same time for their
devotees?
Do these people bring the dead back to life?
So many thousands of miracles of devotees lives being dramatically changed as a
result of His Compassion.
This is what I call "Maha".
I am very attuned to the mindset of the TMO.
I lived deeply in the TMO tribe from 1971 until the turn of century.
I left a wonderful homestead outside Fairfield in 2003.
Like a grazing cow, I was told there was no better pasture, so I did not go
looking over the fence for better.
Why? #1: Because I was ignorant from the beginning and believed what I was
told… that there wasn’t anything better tasting nor more efficient in producing
the milk.
5-7 years for enlightenment sounded great! Plus, I wouldn’t have to do anything
more than sit with my eyes closed for 20 minutes, twice a day.
Such a deal it was for $35. I had nice experiences in meditation from the first
which kept me going.
I did the six month TTC in 1974 at the age of 23 which was a great boost for
the ahankara, especially since we were told we had everything we needed to get
enlightened and enlighten others through this teaching.
Why look elsewhere? A testament to the western ego, always looking for
something without effort.
Nowhere in the Shastras does it say it is fast and easy. Quite the opposite in
reality.
I did six months “Governor” training in ’76-’77 that was the precursor to the
siddhi program. Wow, super powers and flying?
1978 took me to Leysin, France for that Siddhi program, then the Rhode Island
campaign and then the World Peace project that took me to Costa Rica and
Nicaragua later that year.
Did the 1979 Amherst project.
I participated in the Washington DC project from ’83-’84, the Fairfield 7000
course, as well as teaching in the Philippines that year.
The next year, I did the Hague gig then moved to Fairfield where for 15 years I
was in the dome twice a day every day.
I enjoyed all that grazing. While it was global, the pastures were all the same
grass.
We were all thinking we were going to get IT. How many have got it by grazing
on that fodder?
The second reason I didn’t look elsewhere for so long was that it was FORBIDDEN.
The ego was inflated, as we all thought we were the best there was, the most
deserving.
Not dharmic thinking.
I then became disillusioned with the cult, realizing my life was not changing
for the better.
I don’t consider myself a victim of the TMO.
I am truly grateful for those nearly 30 years thinking Mahesh Yogi was _the_ be
all and end all of teachers.
Ignorance is Bliss.
But MY ruined the notion of Guru for too many who surrendered to one who cared
nothing for them.
A sad thing th
