Hilltop - wasn't there an issue of retouching images a little while ago?
Look at his "moustache"! That isn't even Photoshop. That was done with black marker pen. Naughty Hilltop!

Hi 13, So what if I have a little ink on my fingers? Not true. Behave yourself 13. And what does 13 represent or mean? Explain that. It is halloween after all. I'm just kidding! I did not alter that picture smarty pants. I don't do that anymore. What are you trying to do? Get me in trouble? Here's another *UNALTERED* picture of Prem Rawat! LOL! Best Thoughts... Hilltop

Wouldn't you think they'd hire people trained in guru hat box handling? No, wait, he doesn't travel airlines. Must be his own damn hat. Somebody send the man a mirror. He needs one. Badly. And soon.

well OK but it's not his sunday one.

Maybe it's his special one, he made himself, for July 4th and Halloween.

It looks like he stripped the Christmas tree and hot-glued everything on it onto one damn hat. Does that thing light up? Twirl around? Play music? Jeezuz. I think I saw a drunk in that hat, wandering around the Holiday Inn, looking for his convention.

You should see it when they light the sparklers and Catherine wheels.

"You should see it when they light the sparklers and Catherine wheels. "Can you get me a ticket? Is it free? Really free, not "rawat free", which can cost you big time.
|

obviously it will at least, cost that.
But there will be a talk on the ease of applying for more credit cards after lunch, so no worries.

"there will be a talk on the ease of applying for more credit cards after lunch"Thanks, Saph, I needed a chuckle right then. You supplied it.

That of all the hundreds of friends, I thought I had, once the connection to Maharaji is gone the premie friendships dried up like dew on grass.
Only friendships I formed with non premies remain.
One Malibu friendship I'd formed, I renewed, the other day. I Googled on his name and found him still working as a Jazz musician and emailed.
We are chatting cybernetically, regularly. It's as if it was yesterday.
Anyway, he sent me a tune to say hi on Halloween, I asked if I could share it with you. He was surprised (even though he hung out with at least a dozen of us back then).
Last night he said: "What he (Maharaji) lived all that time in Malibu?" In the years I knew him I must never have mentioned it. I'm happy to realise that. I promised that I wouldn't say anything nice about him so as not to destroy his street cred so I can't tell you what a good bloke and good friend he is.
Anyway Happy Halloween to you from Eric, if I can get this attachment to work.

Some irony isn't it? All that talk about a love that is unconditional....a constant experience to build your life arround....the 'world of knowledge'...and look...a few good questions and its all gone up in a puff of smoke ...and a dead match (or an unlit one). Look how much more constant ordinary friends, work mates, the natural world and all the rest are..in real life. Enjoying your observations.. best Tim

I can't seem to get the attachment to work, it's a one meg + wma file. I tried and tried, 'til I was falling asleep sitting.
I'll try again, converting to MP3, or something, now my eyes are working again.

Sorry I've too much on to figure how to send stuff on the net at present.
Why not check out his web site. I was glad to see the smiling face of my old friend. The piece he sent out to some of his friends was a short computer performance entitled Star Spangled Boogie, it might be there, with some
of his work. #google: Eric Shifrin.
my true Malibu friend.

I listened to a couple of my favorite tunes off of "As Time Goes By." I like his style.

Tell me he really didn't appear outside of his bedroom in that. Please.

I'm not sure about this, but I think this photo is from his Indian marriage ceremony. After he married Marolyn in his tux in Colorado, he and Marolyn and Raja Ji and Claudia, all together, had a ceremony in India, I guess to please the Indian premies.Indian wedding ceremonies are tacky in the extreme by their very nature, and I think that's what this crown is from, it's not the crown of "Krishna" which he inherited from his dad and wears onstage. We've not seen this crown at any other time, and I'm pretty sure this may be where it's from. I could be wrong, though, but I thought I recognized the photo.

You can see it is the same hat/crown here http://www.ex-premie.org/video/pages/disinherit.html
about 1/3 of the way down the page. It looks like it was the loyal Sampuranand doing the honours. I know it is tacky of me to say so but if you see how fat Sampuranand, Prem Rawat and Satpal Rawat have become it really looks like the higher you go in this "Knowledge" the more danger to your health it becomes.

>but if you see how fat Sampuranand, Prem Rawat and Satpal Rawat have become it really looks like the higher you go in this "Knowledge" the more danger to your health it becomes< Sampuranand shuffled off to join dada guru some years ago leaving behind rumours of how well he had provided for his mistress from his very effective management of the Delhi (DUO) ashram. This was thought particularly generous as said mistress was once caught practising a tantric exercise not part of the Knowledge regime, assisted by one of the younger DUO accolytes, in the Divine apartments.

According to either Bob Haywood or Ron Geaves(I can't rememeber which one told me), Sampuranand used to be guru to one of the Maharajas and was extremely wealthy in his own right.I rememeber Bob/Ron saying, "Wow, Sampuranad even gave maharaji some of his own money".
I was really surprise/shocked that a mahatma/ ashramee could have their own money.
Also when I was in India with a group of (premie) consultants(1981), one of them told me he had seen Sampas doing very unmahatma things to one of the premiettes there. Of course the premie that told me was never an ashram premie so I knew he was in his mind( apologies Paul T wherever you are).
