Subject: Summary: San Francisco 'Appointment'
Message:
I was asked to post the following from someone who was at the November 23 'Appointment Event' at the San Francisco Airport Hyatt.

Report on November 23, 2001 S.F. Event with MJ

With only a few days notice premies only were invited to a program with Maharaji at the S.F. Airport Hyatt. It was to be small regional event (500) in order to give premies the rare opportunity to talk with Maharaji from the floor via a roving mike. The program was scheduled from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 the day after Thanksgiving. (People were on holiday.)... A $100 donation was suggested. SmartCards were required to get in. Names were checked off lists. Seating tickets were given out. Registration happened early, so there was a lot of warm meeting, greeting and reconnecting. Noticeably absent were the “Suit” presence, badges, and Visions sales. (To clarify, “Suits” were present, but they didn’t walk ten feet in front of themselves.)

To get into the hall everyone had to pass through an airport-style metal detector, which caused a huge back-up, and caused the program to start a little late by the atomic clock. The hall was a ballroom. There was a stage at the front with a simple backdrop behind M’s chair, and black pipe-in drape stretching the length of the hall behind the stage. Two video cameras were stationed in the center of the audience. Photographers in the far side aisles took official photos.

The front of the hall was not stocked with PAMs and major donors. They were there to be sure, but were sprinkled around: the Pascotto boys, Linda Pascotto, Tim Gallowey, big eating Frenchman, Judy Osbourne, Eric Reinemer, etc. David Smith, Belkis Shah, Padharthanand, Mahavir and Danielle Fitzpatrick were also sprinkled around. Some local yokels actually got to sit close, as did some local non-yokels. Marcia Leitner (a local non-yokel) and some of the local non-yokel church ladies (both industrial and mild strength types) were in the front row, practically at the Feet. The Feet weren’t very close, as they were high up on the stage above the audience, and set back…but Marcia and the church ladies were almost as close as you could get. Maharaji’s family members were a little closer. The Visions crew included Monica who appeared in full force wearing brown leather pants, silver belt, boots and platinum blond hair.

Maharaji received a roaring, standing ovation when he came on stage. He welcomed everyone and opened his discourse by talking about waking up and not knowing where he was: he’s traveling so much you know--fly one day, program the next, fly the next day, program the next, etc. From later comments, though, it sounded like he woke up that morning in Malibu—but hey, when you’re speaking stream-of-consciousness, a little incongruency is forgivable.

He rambled on for slightly over an hour. Saying that it can’t be done--remembering every breath and having no doubt--he challenged everyone to “Just try it!” He mentioned that practicing Knowledge leads to enlightenment, with no explanation of what that means. He repeated his often made comments about Knowledge being the “best,” the “tops” (to applause). His talk was light (if unmemorable) with a lot of jokes.

Then he opened up the room for talking to him—emphasizing that this was a time to “talk” to him, not to ask questions. The first person to talk was a woman with a French accent. Maharaji asked if she was French and she said, no, she was from Geneva, Switzerland. Maharaji said something about his visits to Geneva. He was kind and blissed her right out. A woman from Las Vegas told Maharaji her name (a few times) so that he would get it, talked about her deep thirst and how Knowledge quenched it (and thanked him), and begged for service. Maharaji repeated her name and “Las Vegas” and pretended to write on his palm so he would remember. He blissed her right out too. Another woman said, “I love you.” Maharaji responded, “You may not know this but I really need to hear that. I really do.” Then one premie after another declared their heartfelt love and gratitude.

Two men with Spanish accents independently begged to be “close.” To the first one, who listed his credentials and asked to work for him, Maharaji said, “You can be close, because close means close in heart.”

The second one sobbed uncontrollably . He blurted out that he had read the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita and said, “They all talk about You. You are the Lord. Thank you Lord for giving me this life.” (Perhaps he meant “a” Lord…the United Kingdom is dotted with Lords, as is India historically (Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna, Lord Rama—all the Indian Masters and Avatars are called Lord). But no, he said “the” Lord.) Maharaji quietly accepted this declaration. When this man begged to be close, Maharaji replied, “It’ll happen.”

Indian premies spoke to Maharaji in Hindi. He told the rest of us that they were “talking about Indian food.” (roar of laughter.) One Indian sisterji raised her hand and her husband, who had not raised his hand but was sitting next to her, took the roving mike when it was offered to her. Maharaji made a big joke about that, and assured sisterji that she would get her turn too. When she finally spoke, I gathered that she was asking Maharaji if she could cook for him. I guess I was right, because when she was done Maharaji chuckled, “She really was talking about Indian food!” (lots of laughter.)

Someone tried to sell Maharaji on San Francisco, saying that it had great restaurants, etc. He said that this was where he had been awakened at 4:00 a.m. and told he had to go a radio station because he had an appointment to go on the air. He said he knew San Francisco was a beautiful city, but he wouldn’t come for the city.

A woman told Maharaji that she had moved here from San Luis Obispo and that she hadn’t seen him in a long time because she was one of the “working poor.” He told her it’s important to “keep your focus.” My interpretation was: “If you have to spend money, spend it on seeing me.”

A woman told Maharaji that she had heard many versions of the story of the devotee who was asked by the Master to get him a glass of water. (The devotee goes down to the river to get a glass of water, but is distracted by women, gets married, has children, i.e. he turns into a spider—according to the mahatmas, that’s when you go from having two legs to having eight legs--and years later remembers that he set out to get a glass of water for his Master.) She asked if he could tell the story again, making the devotee a woman because with all the versions, she had never heard that version.

Maharaji said that it wouldn’t work because, first of all, the Master would have to ask the woman to go for a walk with him and that would be very controversial. And, if the Master asked the woman to get him a glass of water, she would bring it back and spill it (demonstrating) on the Master. But then he said the way it would really happen is that the woman would ask the Master to get her a glass of water. The Master would go down to the river and intentionally slip on a rock and fall into the water so that the current could carry him downstream to where there was a great group of devotees that he wanted to hang out with. The woman would be so pissed that he didn’t come back, that she would go and burn down the ashram. (whole audience in uproarious laughter) Then Maharaji saved himself (almost) with, “But no, it doesn’t have anything to do with man or woman, it’s just what’s in the heart.”

Maharaji said that a lot of changes were coming up. He had been talking to his brother (as if there was only one) and his brother said that their father had asked Maharaji to take Knowledge to the world, and he’d done that. The brother said, “Now it’s time for You.” Maharaji said, “huh?” and his brother repeated that that their father had asked Maharaji to take knowledge to the world, and he had done that, and “Now it’s time for You.” Maharaji responded, “huh.”

Speaking of changes, Maharaji also wondered why he wore a suit and tie, saying it would be more comfortable to dress casually. (I’ve always wondered about that —why do he and the top brass want to emulate and reflect the cold, competitive, corporate environment? Granted, suit and tie have become global symbols of professionalism, but why do something that’s so unenjoyable when it’s not necessary? Don’t we all hate wearing nooses around our necks? Why perpetuate the pretense?)

He closed saying that a lot of people hadn’t had a chance to say anything, but there would be another chance.

When he left the stage the atmosphere in the hall could be described as balmy bhakti. Some people were weeping, some falling into each other’s arms, some sitting quietly, and some practically floating off the floor.

No doubt San Francisco is now in the Good Graces. From an open floor of 500 people, nothing negative was said. Premies had had the chance to talk to Maharaji. New premies who may not have known who Maharaji really is, now know, for it was declared. And a good time was had by all.

Go! Go! Goooooooo San Francisco!

Message:
Julian, thanks for defending me when Bjorn showed back up on the forums. I do not speak to him at all anymore. I also saw that Pat and Gerry criticized him for what he's been doing to me, and I appreciate that.

Anyway, Bjorn has now threatened to contact the state bar and complain about me. This is after he sent emails to the San Francisco Public Defender's Office -- where CAC said I worked, and in fact I don't -- calling me a cyberstalker. These emails continued even after he was told I did not work there. Bjorn got the idea to write to these places from the CAC sites. That's where the email links appeared. The CAC site said that I had committed crimes and also claimed I am mentally unstable.

So fence sitting premies, please give some thought to this. The CAC sites have allowed this premie to wage a libelous campaign against me, and to threaten my reputation in the legal community. Do you really want to associate yourself with this type of behavior? These sites would never have shown up without the implicit or explicit blessing of Captain Rawat. The only reason I have been singled out is that I dare criticize Maharaji. Just how dangerous is someone who left DLM in 1976 when she was 20?

Subject: DONATIONS/DARSHAN/MORE
Message:
As I said below, last night I had a very long telephone conversation with a very well-connected 'questioning premie' who had read my posts on the Forum, and I guess got my phone number from directory assistance (second time this has happened to me in the past couple of weeks) (This 'questioning premie' is a very nice person who recalls who I am, but I couldn't place this person although the name is very familiar).

Actually, this person, I am certain, has crossed over into 'ex-land' and will probably be posting soon. This person is very smart and thoughtful, and will be a helpful addition to anybody thinking about getting out of the cult.

I liked what I was told by this person because it gave me a little better perspective on Maharaji, perhaps making me see some of the 'good' side of being involved with him. More on that later.

This person said that he or she has been reading EPO off and on for two years, has 'had it' with M and his organization, and although this person believes there is a 'Real' experience to be (rarely) gained from being around Maharaji, (the source of which this person cannot explain), that isn't worth the rest of the crap that it entails being a follower of M.

For one thing, this person agreed that to really be a devotee of M these days you have to be quite wealthy, and the majority of premies simply can't keep up financially. MANY are very in debt trying to do so.

Anyhow, this person was particularly appalled at how the 'big donors' are treated. Apparently, they get all kinds of perks, like close seats, and going to all kinds of personal parties with M, that ordinary premies, who don't have much money to donate, never get.

Two things were mentioned:

1) Apparently, after the Portland 'event' a few months ago, there was a 'big donor' fundraiser and Yoram Weiss & Co., with M giving his personal attention, obtained committments of $6.3 MILLION (US). Let me say that again; SIX POINT THREE MILLION DOLLARS......(US, of course).

[As an aside, does anybody ever ask where this money actually goes? Other than the lifestyle M lives, what, what, WHAT, does he have to show for it? Propagation is dead, hardly anybody is receiving knowledge, hardly anybody has even heard of Maharaji or knowledge, etc. What RETURN are these people getting on their donations? Does anybody ever ask that?]

2) Apparently, also recently, there was a BIG DONORS 'event' in Arizona at a very swanky hotel/resort for a weekend. People were specially invited. To even go to the event, the cost was $5,000 PER PERSON. Let me say that again
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER PERSON (US), just to GO, and then much more money was pledged.

AND, at this Arizona EVENT, Maharaji mingled with these BIG DONORS and, guess what, he had them line up and kiss his feet. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST FOLKS, we thought maybe Maharaji wouldn't dare engage in that activity in North America, and would try to hide it in a remote enclave in Australia, but no, that little ritual is happening in good old Arizona, with the 'speaker' who has banished all the old HINDU RITUALS, who is NOT GOD, not THE LORD, and just a mild-mannered, rich, meditation instructor.

But I keep coming back to:

WHAT THE HELL DOES MAHARAJI DO WITH ALL THAT FUCKING MONEY????

I just want to add, that I was very happy to connect with this person, somebody I would like to get to know just as someone who seems like a person with a lot of honesty, integrity and courage. Despite the CAC-crowd, I think most premies fall into that category.

This person also mentioned to me that a number of people, whom I believed were of the most devout churchlady variety, are also 'questioning.' It appears people are leaving the cult in droves, or at least pulling back from involvement in the USA, just like John MacGregor also confirmed in Australia.

Incurred by M directly. Every event is hosted by a community, and that community provides the financial resourses, or raids it's own coffers to accomadate all of the expenses.

As Richard indicated at San Diego, as hosting community they all got to sit up front.

Here again is a good example of he who puts up the most money gets the best seats, only this time it is on the collective group basis as a community. It looks different, but it is the same principle, money talks.

Whatever is collected at the door goes elsewhere and is not paid back into the community, they are left to fend for themselves and replenish their depleted capital reserves on their own.

Why could a cult that lost 90% of its members claim that it is using their money for propagation. Where are the devotees.

Not only that, but Maha is giving clandestine programs. How much money did it cost to bring the FATFUCK from Malibu to San Diego. Yet people were told the cost was picked up, but the expenses required a cash donation of $100 per head. 500 x 100 = 50,000 + surplus donations from cultheads who were so greatful.

Have them read the forum. Show them the CAC files. Give them Bjorn's name as a person who perpetrated a hate crime against Marianne because deceived them their whole adult life.

PREMIES, get clued in. When you become an ex-premie, the reasons that validated your experience go out the window. WHY? Because Maha is a FRAUD, and Knowledge is a SCAM.

We know that, you don't. There is nothing inherently ungreatful about us. Please, do yourself a favour, and think for yourself, before it's too late.

Joe,

Maharaji has got a big nut to cover. It's mighty damn expensive taking care of all that Maya - family, girlfriends, brothers, servants, houses all over the world, boats, planes and a fleet of automobiles.

I think if Maharaji was smart he'd start selling more than just his feet. Hell, there's a huge market for human organs and bodily fluids. Gimme a tank full of Ethyl, will ya?

And don't forget Maharaji speaking at Long Beach 1995:

You know some people don't like rich people. They have this idea or that idea of what it is to be rich. But they really don't know. It's not easy to be rich. It isn't. Once you've made your first million, you need another to protect it. Then you have two million, and you'll need another two million to protect those two million. Then you'll have four million and you'll need another four million to protect those four million, and then you'll have eight million. Of course then you'll need another 8 million to protect those eight million and then you'll have 16 million... it isn't easy, it's not what you think.

What is it, Joe? You got something against rich people?

The insurance premiums per year alone must be hefty. Yet he wants more and more and more. It makes me puke.

It's time for him to get a job. Let him actually DO SOMETHING in his life for a change. He has no shame. He's, he's, I can't find words to describe how pathetic Maharaji is.

And he claims not to be the leader of a religion. His religion is COLD HARD CASH!

Subject: Donations in CASH for the APPOINTMENT
Message:
Thanks to Rich for his insightful report about the San Diego 'Appointment Event.' [Only an organization so infected with buzzwords like 'synchronize' could come up with something so meaningless as that.]

What the churchlady on the phone told Rich is very telling. Especially that she suggested $100 was preferable in CASH, that more should be contributed if possible, and that the event was expensive and the money was for covering the cost of the 'event.'

This indicates to me that the money is going to Maharaji directly. With cash, it is impossible to determine where the money is going, and if it wasn't going directly to Maharaji's pocket, there would have been no reason to ask for CASH. How they will launder money paid by check, like Rich did, would be interesting to know, but making a check out to "Appointment Event" indicates that they will launder them through some bank account set up for this.

Like Rich said, the hall rental was at most a few hundred dollars, if even that, and the other expenses maybe amounted to a few thousand dollars, and if 35,000 to 40,000 dollars was collected at just this event, multiplied by Westchester, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and now Seattle, we are approaching a quarter million, with maybe $10,000 in costs, and this doesn't take into account those premies so devoted that they contributed even more money. One can almost see the armies of premies marching to the ATM machines.

Making the statement that this was NOT Elan Vital's 'event' was also important, because if Elan Vital was sponsoring an event for the purpose of money going to an individual (Maharaji), they would lose their tax-exempt status if it was discovered. Hence, EV had to say it had nothing to do with it. That's why there was nothing on the EV website about it, and why EV did not in any way announce the event, officially, and why the churchlady stressed that it wasn't an EV 'event.'

What is astounding, though, is that they would LIE to the premies and tell them that the event was 'expensive' and they needed the $100, IF NOT MORE, to cover the costs of the 'event.' That is obviously a huge lie, and indicates that the money was being requested under false pretenses, not that many of the premies wouldn't have given the money anyway, knowing that it was going to buy a Rolls for the master. I would estimate that maybe a few thousand dollars were necessary to pay the costs of that "appointment event."

Since Maharaji has residences all over the world, and his personal expenses are astronomical, if donations are down, this is a way for him to line his personal pockets. Think any of that money is going to fulfill the 'mission' which Maharaji claims he is here to carry out? If so, would you like to buy a bridge over the Golden Gate?

I was going to go out of curiosity so I checked and found out I was 'not extended an invitation'. The reason given was because I had been posting on the forum and it was obvious I was 'anti-Maharaji' and 'not in harmony with what's going on at the event'. Apparently they even have examples of my posts from the forum as evidence that I'm not sychronized.

An event here does remind me that I am very interested these days in having my heart re-awaken after too much dormancy. The PTSD I am dealing with from 911 gives me even more reason to make sure I don't lose the heart openess that drew me to GMJ these many years ago. My heart will stay open. I'm just approaching it in an unattributed way now.

A very good premie friend reminded me of the following Rumi quote today. I offer it to my friends in the Seattle premie community as a sign of peace and good will.

Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

Message:
that was a normal question for someone to ask him; does the guru practice what he preaches? has he always done so -- faithfully, every day? or did he reach a magical point where he became permanently one with godness -- and never had to meditate like his doggie premies anymore thereafter?

see, if the trip is actually about meditation, then people Should rightfully ask marji about his own practice, since he has ranted on at the premies for 30 years about Their practice of the special K. similarly, a normal response to that question would be to answer it honestly. if marji got uptight about a lil question like that -- chances are 1) he doesn't like being put on the spot -- ever -- by anyone, 2) he doesn't want to be accountable, 3) he's hiding something [either bogus meditator/fake rugu, and/or incompetent + embarrassed].

People should ask him all kinds of questions at these events, incl:

1) why have financial contributors Never received an accurate accounting of how Elan Vital is disbursing their donations?

2) are you the only living master, and what makes you any more of a master than many of your longtime devotees or other meditators?

3) when that voice came into your head after your dad's death, how do you know 100% that it wasn't your mind speaking, or a disembodied spirit possessing you?

4) if you are not addicted to materialism, why do you insist on staying in luxurious presidential suites, traveling in luxury jets, expensive cars, and having devotees buy mansions for yourself?

5) why is your family living off the premies? is your son having a luxury car, or Raja ji a mansion part of your mission?

6) does Monica Lewis give good head, or do you just have a quickie when you get together? Is cheating on your wife Marolyn consistent with your teaching: no cheat, no deceit?

7) could you please tell us about the time you committed vehicular manslaughter and lied? why did you lie, and conspire to have a premie take the blame? why?

8) Why did you order Donner to get Fakiranand out of the country, after your brother incited the mahatma and others to kill the guy who through the cream pie in your face? If you are an ethical and spiritual person, why didn't you hand over Fakiranand and the other conspirators to the US authorities? Why did you order the aiding of violent criminals - unless they were simply doing you and your family's bidding, and you didn't want the facts made known?

9) How did you ever get premies to buy back your house for 20 times more than it cost them, at a clear profit of about $5 million to yourself? If you are not addicted to materialism, why did you direct premies to expand your Malibu mansion to 28,000 sq ft.? Why are you allowed to live in a $25,000,000 estate you don't even own?

10) Why was Seva Corp. created, and why have premie donations been siphoned off into this corporation for luxury items which are only used by you and your family -- assets totalling tens of millions of dollars incl planes, yachts, estates, etc?

11) Although there are literally thousands of informed witnesses who can testify about this subject, if you are not really the living Lord in the flesh, then why have you specifically and historically referred to yourself as 'lord', 'savior', 'satguru', and 'the living Master', and why has Elan Vital lied and pretended you never said such things (or that you never directed and encouraged others to worship you as a living god or supernatural entity)? Are you a supernatural being? If not, why have you encouraged and directed your students to treat you as such, worshipping you and following your words as infallible, and giving you everything they possessed - their income, and their minds surrendered to you?

12) at the moment of death, are you there to intercede for each of your students? Yes, or NO, please?

13) are your megalomania and delusions of grandeur directly related to your compensating for a pathetic lack of apparent male physical endowment? or does this relate to some sort of mental illness that runs in the Rawat family -- schizophrenia perhaps?

Now I have to deal with that too. Thanks a lot Lard, thanks. You suck!

And what is Lard saying there, something of substance that we never heard before? No. but there you have it. The young, the ignorant, the sugestionable can fall for that and believe that Lard is saying something incredible, just as my teenager son did when in reality is simply crap. Maharaji does exactly what he says not to do. He creates a God for you, well, he become your God, so then, why talk those words?

I DETEST YOU MAHARAJI.

HERE IS m'S QUOTE MY SON SAVED IN HIS pc.

Do I have to give God a shape? It's not necessary because my Creator existed before I did, so why do I have to give my Creator a shape? I have to feel my Creator. I don't have to go around giving my Creator a name. I don't have to go around giving my Creator a definition. I don't have to go around giving my Creator a gender. Because then I would be creating my Creator, and if I start to do that, then I become the Creator, and I'm not the Creator. But people do try to create their Creator. And they call their Creator not their creation, but 'Creator.' But they are the Creator, they are the Creator creating their own Creator. It gets very confusing.

And that's pretty silly because you don't get to create the Creator. The Creator is there, and it is possible for you to feel the Creator, but the Creator cannot be comprehended by thought.

maharaji sucks!

I suggest you explain to your that guru is is refering to himself in the third person as being the Creator. Ask him how does guru know so much about who the Creator is unless he claims to be one?

I know a lot of things, but I know stuff all about the Creator, let alone believing their is one.

guru is cult and cult is guru.

Has guru ever claimed he is GOD?

Thanks Salam. Yes, I had already a long talk with my son and he understands, however I recognize that due to his age his mind is easy to manipulate. Do you remember when we heard of mahalard and we were eskeptical but later we gave in? Remembering is where my concern starts because my son is going to live with his father for a while, soon, which it means that he is going to be exposed to the crap more than ever.

I am thinking that I have to write to his premie father to warn him...

Thanks.

Talk to a lawyer first. Email me, I'm very busy but I'll have time to go over it. Act on it. This is your son's life.

Your son needs outside opinions about the GURU. Sue Maha for the money it is going to cost you to prevent his mind from being sucked into the cult. This influence on Maha is because you were also part of the cult and it is what he knows. He needs to be part of the deprogramming process because all of child like impressions are still alive.

What I want to say is sensitive and I'd prefer to say it off-forum. Check email today.

Take care and take your son's message as a warning. No other fifteen years wonder about gurus, especially Maha because Maha is a secret cult.

Subject: George Harrison: musical/spiritual influence
Message:
When I was first teaching myself guitar, the Beatle albums were just starting to come out, too [i.e. Meet the Beatles]. With each new Beatle recording, I learned the guitar chords and Harrison's riffs.

if you notice, most of the Beatle hits had distinctive guitar/sitar or bass hooks/riffs that really added to the impact of the songs: e.g. Norwegian Wood and Within You/Without You [sitar], Day Tripper riff, opening V-IV-I chordal riff of Help, simple G suspended chord of Hard's Days Night, dissonance of Got to Get You Into my Life,
guitar melody on Something, acoustic guitar on Here Comes the Sun, last two riffs of The End on Abbey Road, A minor chord progression + bridge of While My Guitar, etc., + All Things Must Pass, slide guitar on Lennon's How Do You Sleep, etc.

Blessing/Blaming George Harrison:

George was the Beatle who got people in the West open to Indian music, religions/beliefs, gurus, and so forth. The Beatles themselves gave up on Maharishi as a fake after they discovered him shtupping Mia Farrow one morning at the Rishikesh ashram. Nevertheless, George maintained his interest in Indian religious beliefs -- especially Krishna. His second wife, Olivia Arias Harrison [a premie he met through A&M Records, where George's DarkHorse label was a subsidiary], has said she follows New Age Christianity mixed with some googoo maharaji.

In retrospect, although the Beatles later all disavowed TM and its guru, it was primarily young George who spawned the media's counterculture fad with Indian music [i.e. Ravi Shankar], religion, and gurus -- and who continued to promote that interest. Ironically, here were hordes of anti-authoritarian hippies and leftist peaceniks suddenly surrendering their lives - on the advice of youth pop icons like Harrison and Rennie Davis - to greedy rugus like miragey, sly baba, maharichi, etc.

Accordingly, today I am feeling some sadness that George has left here. On the other hand, I have many fond memories of his music and learning his guitar parts, when I was a blooming kid guitarist. From playing Beatle tunes, I also gained a better sense compositionally of how to construct/arrange pop songs.

I later studied Indian music formally in college. Ironically, within a few years, I was working as a musician for producer John Lennon and the Beatles' Apple record company in NY.

Naturally, many of us young impressionable baby boomers were definitely influenced by Harrison's tacit seal of approval on all things Indian and mystical - with unfortunate consequences for many sincere seekers.

Lastly, although we are still living in the material world, George's death [the youngest Beatle] sounds a sympathetic note signifying our own mortality -- all things must pass. While my guitar gently weeps...

Peace and lentils,

PS Good buddies: Clapton played the lead on 'While my guitar gently weeps', and Harrison played the guitar riff on Cream's 'Badge' [which predates a similar riff from Here Comes the Sun (in between the verses)]. While George was away, Clapton and Patti Harrison got together romantically - leading to the eventual amicable end of George's first marriage. Several years later, he was still mending emotionally when he began communicating with Olivia while doing business by phone long-distance -- and found a life partner apparently better suited to his philosophy.

Becuse of George, i very nearly got involved with th Hare Krisna movement...and, in fact when I arrived in India on my spiritual quest and found myself one day walking in to the Hans Jayanti festival in Delhi 1971...totally open vulnerable, malnourished and desperate for God..I believed all the premies I met...this was the Lord in human form...what a mark. (Is that the right word for a victim of a con-trick?'
But, I'm not a complete fool ha ha ha! The Hare Krishnas were having a major festival in Dehi at the same time...so...I went along.

Trouble is, on the way we had to change money and the money chsnger, in his most hospitable manner...rolled a joint!....I will never forget that experience...we got so high, we were treated like saddhus , everyone felt it and basically we were whisked up to Prem Nagar ashram, no charge...high as kites....grace we called it!

I,m forgetting myself. the point is that before we were carried off to Prem Nagar, I insisted on visiting the Hare Krishna festivasl, when i got there I was so high all I could do was chant Hare Krishna...It seemed to go down like a dead ballon...and yet I was singing to their hearts..I saw very clearly that they were all Krishna! No dice!

Then there was another rumour as well, claiming that George one day was supposed to have called up the Palace of Peace in London, saying:
'Hello, I'm George Harrison, can I receive Knowledge?' After it was explained to him about the aspirant process etc, he supposedly dropped his interest. Again, I don't know the truth about this story. Can it be confirmed?

being the only person in the world who ever offered maharaji a rolls royce, and having maharaji decline to take it from him.
Olivia Arias, his wife..who is now his widow.., has been a premie since at least 1974, that i know of. her sister Linda, also a premie, once invited me to go with her to their recording studios at Darkhorse to help her do some office stuff that year, but i didn't take her up on it. Jiva was recording there at the time.
I think George offered Maharaji the Rolls as a kind of aspirant gift, but Maharaji said he wouldn't accept it because George didn't really understand the scope of what was required to receive Knowledge.
Looking back, George was saved from a lifetime of being duped, by that scenario. That was Real Grace. George wanted to see His Sweet Lord, and I think tonight his realness and willingness to wait and stay true to himself ushered him into the presence of his Lord as he deserved it.

I would far rather listen to 'My Sweet Lord' and sing the words to ARTI as he sang them, on the record, and think of him and how he led his life, than to remember them the way we were all swindled into uttering them and believing them and directing them at the fat bastard.

If you have the song around in the house, play it and give a listen for the words in hindi as we used to sing them. You'll be able to pick them out in the chorus in the background.

come to think of it, it's not hard to figure out the dynamic that was taking place, there: George never had to ask people for millions or adoration. he just was himself and did what he did, and it was spontaneously poured upon him. maharaji looked at that and hated him for it. to george, a rolls royce was nothing. he could have whatever he wanted, honestly, for honest talent and honest acclaim. he was world famous, known wherever he went, and the public and the press respected him and welcomed him for his accomplishments. that was something maharaji would envy, hate, resent and find insulting and galling. of course he wouldn't want a gift from George. he wanted to be more important than him, more revered, more celebrated, more received, honored, recognized, loved--and he couldn't be. would never be. George would always be bigger than he was.So of course he would spurn the gift. It would expose too much truth if he had taken it. In fact, it would have damned his soul to hell, for all times and for all to see, so he quickly devised an excuse to dodge it.
He didn't want George's Rolls Royce, he wanted his soul, and George was sharp enough not to fall for it.

So Things stayed as they should--clean, right and true, and George never stained his soul with the likes of such a pompous, assinine pretender. He kept ownership of his own mind and soul and waited for the real thing. And I am quite convinced he made the right choice, and I'm sure he got his ultimate reward, tonight.

Then there's Maharaji, a nobody guru from India with virtually no fame or name recognition in the world (except for the one m made up in his twisted mind), hawking himself as god-in-a-bod, so he could collect cash, checks, gifts, and of course, people.

I would speculate he was extremely envious of George Harrison.

Instead of slinging insults at the majority of us who loved and revered George because of a couple of comments one person made (a habit I've noticed premies who visit here tend to have -- deflecting attention from the major issues), could you possibly say a thing or two about George and Olivia that might be helpful to people here?

For instance, is Olivia still a premie? I know she was around 1979 when I once rode to the Miami airport in a car with her, from the Miami Convention Center, all of us bound for LA (where I lived at the time doing graphics service out at SHIP). What was/is the extent of her involvement with Maharaji? She and George must have had a great deal of respect for each other's spiritual paths to be married all those years and in different traditions. How did that work for them? Care to engage anybody here in any civilized dialogue about it? If you really did know them, I'm sure you must be very sad right now, but we'd all like to hear anything you'd care to tell us and hopefully we could keep it from becoming a premie-vs-ex slanging match.

I ask this because I have not heard of anyone who was at the heighth of their career, madly inlove, or happy/content with their homelife and then chucked it all the minute they heard about M.

Charanand always said M told him the hippies were his gonna-be devotees, so don't criticize their drugs. Did he and Mahta size up the rich with possiblilies dysfunctional west and knew we were ripe for the picking? It's not as if he started out giving seminars in country clubs and corporate office spaces.

Message:
I first heard about M&K at a vulnerable and uncertain time in my life. I had just moved to California a few months previously. I had a good paying job, a had my first boyfriend and I had moved in with him a few weeks earlier, and life was looking pretty peachy. Then there was a construction accident at work, where a stack of 2 tons of steele beams toppled over onto me, crushing me under a construction fence.

I thought I was going to die, it was a near-death experience for me. It left me very aware of my mortality, and that death could come at any time. I had always been a "truth seeker", and now felt a new urgency to connect with something meaningful in my life.

I was only 20 years old. I was far from family and friends. The boyfriend lost interest in me (my front teeth were smashed-out), began having sex with other men while I was still living with him, and wanted me to find someplace else to live. I was on crutches and painkillers for months. I met this group of gay hippy-premies in the Haight Ashbury, who were fun-loving and very kind to me. One thing let to another, and I recieved K on Christmas Eve, 1981.

Yes, I believe I needed a community. I became an atheist at age 15 so I wouldn't have looked for community in mainstream religions. I, well, I just got caught.

Hi Cynthia:

Are you all keeping warm there in the mountians?

I found the warmth, humor and loving kindness of the gay premie community in the Haight-Ashbury in the early 1980's to be very seductive. They were so unlike other gay men, or so I thought, I really hadn't had much experience with gay men. But they were part of a gay premie community, and that made them different from other gays I'd met. That sense of community is very attractive when you are feeling weak and vulnerable.

I know what you mean about religion, too. I also was attracted to K because it was not a mainstream religion, in fact, everyone kept insisting it was NOT a religion at all, but an experience. And whenever anything seemed weird about M or K, the premies just emphasized feelings over reason, they were often willing to sacrifice reason in favor of emotions, instead of keeping them both, balancing one with the other.

I just eventually just bought into that sloppy thinking, without really even realizing it. I guess most of us did. It was easy to do at the time, but there was still a price to pay for it down the road. I guess you could say it was youthful immaturity on our part? The wisdom of hindsight was the one thing we did not have back then.

Hi Chuck,

Actually, it's too warm here. I don't mind it, but our local economy depends upon weather. Yesterday we had snow and freezing rain, then the temperature went up to 50 deg. F today and it's pouring out. Ya can't even make snow when it's that warm out.

I was weak and vulnerable because I had a rough homelife. Having a new, and ''perfect'' father was very appealing to me. I think that m breaking down the communities and gagging the premies was the BEG-inning of the end, at least in the west.

Message:
I was both very young, and vulnerable, and I was, subconsciously, looking for a way out of the uncertainty that was in my life at the time I encountered premies. M seemed to offer a simple way of ending the uncertainty.

[One thing about Maharaji that I think people mistake as an indication that what he says actually has some substance, which I do not believe does, is that he ALWAYS speaks with absolute certainty, which I think is from him believing in who he is, having been told so since he was born, not from any kind of profound understanding, and because he learned that if you say anything that way, some people will accept it as profound. Most people, especially Westerners rarely hear someone speaking with such absolute certainty, and it does have an effect on some.]

Regarding the hippie statement. You can't believe anything Charanand ever said, and I understand he has admitted of late that he just made things up to make Maharaji seem all-knowing and powerful, etc., partly to help feather his own nest.

But if that statement about 'hippies' is true, I think it came from the fact that the first Westerners who encountered Maharaji in India were hippies who did a lot of hash. Many of the 'Gurus' in India actively 'courted' these Westerners as a way to gain fame and money in the West, especially after seeing what the Beatles did for the Maharishi in the 60s.

Bill Patterson used to tell a great story about how he went to India as a youth seeking "truth" and encountered a number of Gurus, several of whom offered him prestigious places in their ashrams so that they could get an American devotee who might be a means of tapping into the money and fame in the West. Of course, he ended up with M, and helped do just that for him.

BTW, I spoke with a premie who is "questioning" last night and this person said that Bill Patterson was put in charge of South America by M, but was given no funds to operate. Apparently due to this and other unsavory things M did to him, Bill rejected Maharaji some years ago, and was very angry at him. Anyone know where he is now?

That's awful to hear that about Patterson. I really liked that guy, and he was always very kind to me. He carried a lot of water for M, cleaned up a lot of his messes, and should never have been treated in such a rotten fashion. Knowing the TOTAL ONE-POINTED DEVOTEE Bill was, it must have been truly a outrageous series of events for him to reject M.

Message:
This indicates to me that the money is going to Maharaji directly. With cash, it is impossible to determine where the money is going, and if wasn't going directly to Maharaji's pocket, there would have been no reason to ask for CASH.

Like Rich said, the hall rental was at most a few hundred dollars, if even that, and the other expenses maybe amounted to a few thousand dollars, and if 35,000 to 40,000 dollars was collected at just this event, multiplied by Westchester, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and now Seattle, we are approaching a quarter million, with maybe $10,000 in costs.

Making the statement that this was NOT Elan Vital's 'event' was also important, because it Elan Vital was sponsoring an event for the purpose of money going to an individual (Maharaji), they would lose their tax-exempt status if it was discovered. Hence, EV had to say it had nothing to do with it. That's why there was nothing on the EV website about it, and why EV did not in any way announce the event, officially.

What is astounding, though, is that they would LIE to the premies and tell them that the event was 'expensive' and they needed the $100, IF NOT MORE, to cover the costs of the 'event.' That is obviously a huge lie.

Since Maharaji has residences all over the world, and his personal expenses are astronomical, if donations are down, this is a way for him to line his personal pockets.

They had those trays were you put all your metal objects(.coins..cell phones....roach clips etc.) .and then you walk thru the Metal detector into the Promised Land. Although the prevailing opinion seemed to be that this was a result of 911, I kinda thought Maharaji is becoming more aware of the ex-premies and the potential for an expression of anger as his behavior becomes more publicized...What do you think , Marianne??.....Here is a repost of my reply to a few questions by Michael Donner and others

Thanks Everyone for your Words of Support I very Much appreciate them...and it looks like One troll got the password...

To answer a few questions:

Although I have been a regular contributor to Maharaji until I found EPO this summer, there are no premies in San Diego with whom I have much contact.. Thus no one was particularly aware of my recent Ex-hood. I did tell the head of the Contribution program at Elan Vital the reason why I was no longer donating to Maharaji, but apparently that did not get me on the Black List.

I was contacted by a woman who is one of the major church ladies here. She told me in hushed tones that Maharaji was having a Special event here in San Diego in a few days. She Called it an Appointment. She told me that I was invited and as a San Diego Premie I would be sitting in the front. She also told me Maharaji had been having other events like this around the country and he had been have question and answer sessions at them (to my memory though this proved to be inaccurate). Then she explained that since Maharaji wanted this very private I should NOT TELL ANYONE about the event. She said that premies from San Diego and Orange County (not Los Angeles) were invited and they were expecting 500 people. Further, the event was paid for by a private party..NOT Elan Vital. and because it is very expensive ...It would REALLY Help if I could give as much as I could. The requested donation was $100 but if I could give more that would be Greatly appreciated….and CASH is Preferred. I had the distinct impression that whoever she was in contact with was stressing the need to maximize donations..and Cash.

What else?...Well..There were metal detectors at the doors much like going thru an airport terminal. I had a mini tape recorder in my blazer pocket ( to record my question and his answer for posterity) but when I saw the Metal detector, I ditched it in my car. The venue itself was a meeting room in a moderately upscale Hotel in Del Mar. I had been to a Real Estate Seminar or such there before. I cant imagine it costing more than $500 to rent for a Saturday afternoon. There were no concessions at the event. I did not pay cash as requested. The check was to be made out to 'Appointment Event.' Maharaji spoke for an hour and accepted the Premies grateful prostrations for another hour. Quick , Dirty and Profitable. Contrary to what my Church Lady had told me, Premies from as far away as Santa Barbara had been invited. I suspect that anyone who had been a recent contributor in Southern California had been invited. There was no 'Darshan' at the event. Money was only brought up by the churchlady…No..actually I remember Maharaji weaved several metaphors about gold bricks and other allusions of monetary gain into his 'satsang'…I was thinking to myself at the time that this accurately reflected his real priorities. He did mention something about another program coming up..but I forget exactly what he said…I believe it might have been when one of the Premies alluded to missing 'Darshan'..without saying the word……and he suggested that there may be something coming up…but my memory is vague on that…. Upon leaving the program I did a quick estimation of the attendance figure…counting rows and columns. I estimate the attendance was probably around 350-400 devotees of the Former Lord God. And one or two monmots.

Thanks again Everybody…You're incredible people. Im thinking we should democratically elect a Satguru from amongst us..…and have our OWN Darshan Event….just for old times sake…Whatdyathink??..Any other questions?..RichMandrake.

random events occur in clusters. the solar flares are playing havoc with the transmissions. nothing is behaving as it was planned to. don't count on anything happening the same way twice. be prepared. and passwords are not to be shared, nor is information about them to be made public, by anyone but the one who issues them. communicate with that person in private.
you could have emailed the FA. next time,think twice, act once.

Could I think twice, and then have a coffee break, before I get around to acting?

well, it depends on what time of day it is and what you plan to be doing. the coffee does rather tend to modify what one can engage in afterwards. choose your beverage with careful consideration. and leave time enough for the bathroom, before approaching your task subsequent. err in haste, regret at leisure, you know.

First of all, call me if you want. Secondly, I have no judgments about someone writing here with their fly open. We can't actually see it. Even if he's really doing it, who cares? As eDrek can tell you, I usually post in the nude.

Thanks for the phone invite. Think I'll take you up on that this weekend.

Did you ever see the EverReady battery commercial with this guy at the computer in his underwear and he says in a mock commercial,

'You can even sit at the computer in your underwear, and buy underwear, at inyourunderwear.com (while the pink bunny goes by)

It's pretty funny.

Hi Marianne,

I don't have phone yet. I'm also under stress because I don't have rent until next week. Even then, I'll be a bit short unless I can borrow.

Can you phone me at (250) 721-8342. I'll wait for a few minutes.

Thanks,

Deborah
