Excellent synopsis, Mike. Your writing helps me understand Maharaji's personality a little better. And you're probably right that he feels divine inspiration. If he were an actor, he would not have been able to sustain his performance this long.

This thread began in a bothersome way, but thanks to people's responses, it became interesting.

For the record, Mike, do you really think there is anything to be gleaned from Andries comparing Maharaji to Hitler?
