Hi Brian,
So nice to "hear" you again here. And hi all, we're just making our way back home from a week's cruise (six islands in seven days). Lots of fun for the most part. A little cheese here and there. But I was a Karaoke finalist, I'll have you know and am completely convinced I didn't win just because people still haven't gotten over their prejudice against Otis Redding. After all these years too. Sad, really.
Brian, now that you mention it, I'm sure you're right. I did do a little spoof interview with Maharaji back when we were young(er) and it was never set out as anything but that. Back then it was still a bit of a novelty to play with the notion of the Lord unmasked, expressing himself as a real human being, especially with all the qualities we've come to love so much. It was just a post but it went up as EPO content at a time when the Maharaji PR machine had not yet reawoken, and when there was much, much less good extra-cult content for us to enjoy and consider. I only imagined Rawat's obfuscations then. We now have the benefit of his real current lies which are actually far uglier.
It was a very astute call on your part to delete it then for just the reasons you describe. Now that the cult has started playing the full-on revisionist game, exactly like Holocaust deniers, we see how readily they'll abuse anything, even obvious humour, to form their ridiculous collage of lies. I'm still being defamed on the net for that other joke of mine, the one about embezzling money from the ashram. What kind of people could stoop so low?
Anyway, Brian, I do hope you guys are doing well.
As does Laur, she says.
