and weird, so the residence staff gossips about him in his absence. I guess I have heard that before, the gossip about his bad behavior by the residence crew. Never heard that as a premie. Still really weird. 

It's sort of sickening really.

I read your story and the term "family man" jumped out at me.  I remember clearly hearing that term in the kitchen of the Brickell Ave Miami ashram, from Randy Prouty "Maharaj Ji's a family man". 

I would have been 13 and it would have been 1975 strange that I recall this at all. I have a feeling I may have never heard the term before, and maybe it seemed odd because I flashed on Leave it to Beaver or the Brady Bunch and it just seemed on odd term for the superior power in person.

Prem would have been a 17 year old family man that year.
