My response about reading books and comprehension of Roark's first post of yours, was addressed to Roark, not you. He told me I didn't read it well enough. I wanted to clear up the confusion.
Most of the people here have gone through their personal deconstruction of involvement with Maharaji. We were there, too, don't forget, and we had deep and profound experiences, too. The best thing about this forum is that no one has to really explain much about "the experience" because we all followed Rawat's religion, and tried to devote ourselves to him by doing satsang, service, meditation and darshan, and by obedience. I lived in the ashram, too.
Remember, that when we sang arti to him it wasn't just a long song. The words were directed to him only.
No one has a right to place himself in the "superior power in person" role above all others, while demanding everything a devotee can possibly give to him, whether it be money, love, hard work, or obedience. No one has a right to exert so much power over other people. Besides, the meditation techniques are nothing mysterious or special, with or without him.
I gave up bhakti juju quite a while ago. I invite you to do it too.
Best wishes, Cynthia
