From... Texas Monthly, January 1974 by Thorne Dreyer. God goes to the Astrodome.

It's a long read & a repost, but it's still interesting imo.

really interesting read..thanks NMFK

Very clear sighted view of how mad it really all was back then.  I certainly wish I had seen Rawat this clearly..

"Maharaj Ji emerged, clad in a dark suit and carrying a briefcase, sandwiched between two body-guard types and looking for an the world like an uptight 42-year-old midget businessman. He rushed right past Rennie and the other officials, grabbing the leis from their hands on the run. Then he huffed by the line of premies, some of whom were moaning and sobbing and eating their flowers. We saw not even a moment's eye contact for the faithful, not even a hidden twinkle or a hint of a smile. He just sashayed on out into the night and a waiting shiny limousine, and he was off. God moves in strange ways."

Didn't go but remember all the apocalyptic talk just beforehand.  Good to be reminded.  Reinvention and moving on are only legitimate when the past is honestly faced and the questions addressed.  Rawat hasn't done that,
