But I do stand by my original claim that MMY eats
children by the handful. Very disturbing. Rick has
photographs in the file section.

No, Judy, it was a stupid red herring--yet another-- you inserted in there, probably to deflect the discussion, as you so often do.  Nobody had ever said MMY had run after children.  And the 'awful' part is your own interpretation, once again.

 So "children" didn't have anything to do with it,
 then, that was just something you invented to make
 MMY sound as awful as possible?

I see a whole range in MMY. I never fail to acknowledge the good he has done
in my life and the lives of others. I'm very grateful for and appreciative
of that. On the other hand...

I'm a pretty loyal fellow. And somewhat naïve. Although it may not seem like
it here, I tend to see the best in people. Also, I had wonderful experiences
around MMY, and great benefits from TM, so for a long time, those caused me
to ignore increasingly obvious evidence that something was wrong.

Do you fly into a screaming rage if someone asks you a dumb question. If you
do that at work you end up fired. If you do that at home you end up
divorced. If you do that to your kids, they end up on drugs, etc., etc.

He mentioned this often on early courses. He said bathing would wash the
ojas off the skin. What bothers me about this account is that he would often
get so furious over trivial things. Something abnormal about that IMO.

That would make sense as Vak is the principle of the Word as it is  
revealed on all levels of perception.

MMY does this all the time. On my TTC during his week
of silence he told us to "...be easy with the mantra
for a week". Someone asked about asanas and he said,
"No,no,no". Another asked about pranayama and he said,
"No,no,no." Another asked for clarification, "So,
Maharishi, we should meditate the whole week?" And he
said yes. A week later when he came out of silence and
was suprised to learn that we had all been maeditating
the entire week he asked us who had told us to
meditate like that. When we collectively said that he
had, he said he had told us no such thing. Go figure.

Seriously, all I recall is that vak means speech. I don't remember why
you're supposed to whisper it to the baby, but I do remember hearing it as a
birth thing, not a death thing.
