It's another Windows Media Video and we're working on other formats in the near future.


This stuff is priceless!  Absolutely priceless.


And guess what?  I saw Maharaji on TV tonight.  Yup, he's running his little cleaned up snake-oil show on the "local access" channel.  I've snagged it and will make excerpts available as part of a Fair Use for educational purposes.


The great thing is that Maharaji is saying the same stuff today as back then.  Yes, that's how boring this guy really is.  As a speaker he's plain old awful unless you're a dyed-in-the-wool premie.  He's quite pitiful really.


So, I'll show a side to side comparison of the very same theme that is about 25 years apart.  The catbox premies say that we are out of touch and our complaints are based on our experiences 30 years ago.  Well, like I said, Maharaji, to his credit, is saying the same thing over and over again.  Of course, however, he's no longer publicly saying stuff like:


"If you have a Perfect Master you can't do anything but worship him every day of your life.


You tell me.  If you really have that Perfect Master...in your life. What can you do except to worship him every day?


Get up and worship!


Pray!


Know!


Surrender!


Every day of our lives."


Yup, this ain't your ordinary motivational speaker lecture, is it?


And I think the excuse of us or the Indian mahatmas making him say those things and act that way, is pure B.S.  And Maharaji was no 13 year old when he said this either.  And pleading temporary insanity isn't going to work either.  He said it.  He believed it.  And he believes it today.  Stop making excuses!  Take the damn thing out of the dark corner and shine a light on it and let everybody see Maharaji and his Message Of Peace (MOP) and what he really wants from his devotees.


A motivational speaker is not going to tell you to pray to him.  No, you pray to God, that's who you and everybody prays to.  If some guy says that you should pray to him then he's saying that he is God.


Maharaji hates any religion that doesn't place him up there as someone that people should pray to and worship.  Is it hate when we publish these facts?  Or are we providing a public service to let innocent victims know what they are about to get involved in?


And people are supposed to trust Maharaji after he denies he ever said those things?  I don't think so.


Hey, here's videos of the foot-kissing guru worshipping again if you have any doubt that Maharaji is not the leader of a freaky cult.

I don't think he does believe it anymore. He just believe it works.

I disagree. I think Maharaji still believes he's God

The last program I was at was 1997 in Long Beach, California.

During the final satsang on Sunday Maharaji was getting into "it" where he was saying that magic superior power in person stuff.  It was very powerful and quite hypnotic until the spell was broken by the "happy clappers" who were applauding because he was saying the very thing they wanted to hear - "I am God."

There's been enough evidence coming out of the catbox that a number of them feel that Maharaji is still God.

I do believe, however, that Maharaji is trying very hard to keep a lid on it in order not to scare away the public.  Yet, I believe that his divinity is hinted at regularily and that his divinity is still a huge reason why many premies are still following him.

Drek, this is really some of the most powerful stuff ever posted. Somehow a transcript,as probative as they are, doesn't relay the emphasis he put on the words and the seriousness and almost threatening way in which the words were said.

And talking about a darshan line and seeing it are amazingly different things. Seeing how they really move the people through is kind of gross too.

And the Marolyn crowning him. If someone ever does a tv news story these things would be beyond valuable. He really just can't refute what happened. I frankly can't see why he even tries to. It just makes him look worse.

Also, good timing on putting these out! Premies are a bit busy right now huh?

All the videos I have captured are available here:

Yes, this is really powerful to be able to see and hear the Perfect Master (Maharaji, Prem Rawat, etc.) in action.  It's interesting in hearing him speak.  He's got this real bursty style where he almost shouts single words for emphasis.  It's really quite annoying, actually.  And none of what he says is that interesting or deep once you've walked away from the cult.  I believe that as brainwashed followers we were the ones who put the importance into what he said.  That and also we were busy trying to feel that feeling.  The whole thing was and is very Pavlovian.

P.S. I did get your email. I'll respond soon-ish.
