Hi Val,

Thank you for sharing your inspiring words and convictions. 

I wish you all the love, support and encouragement you need as you make your way through this extraordinary transition.  Leaving Maharaji was by far one of the most freeing and rewarding decisions I ever made, and I’m grateful to the ex-premies who paved the way and provided so much support.

“Why is the world tuning in to Oprah-Tolle, and not to Maharaji?”

Two reasons come to mind insofar as Maharaji is concerned:

1.  Maharaji’s well documented past makes it impossible for him to withstand public scrutiny.

2.  In spite of all the resources at his disposal, Maharaji hasn’t made any serious efforts to roll up his sleeves and spread his own Knowledge for many years.  Instead, he doles out busy work to keep his remaining followers occupied and to make it appear as if he’s engaged.  It’s pure speculation, but he may be too impaired, compromised or disinterested to carry on with his work of spreading Knowledge in any significant way.  It’s a shame for those who remain committed, especially for premies as dedicated as you were.
