I'm sure someone on this forum must have made this observation before, but a mighty convincing argument could certainly be made that Rawrot's mom was quite right.  She didn't want him to come to the west at age 13 - she wanted him to finish school and gain some maturity before embarking on his Perfect Mastership.

Of course goomraji told us that he left not a minute too soon in order to save the world. . . but imagine . . . no catastrophic embarassment like Millenium. . .no Atlantic City, no Kissimmee.  Add another eight years to the mix and many of us would have been well-started in careers and/or married, not in an ashram or building airplanes because we thought we were serving the Lord.

Who knows, maybe we wouldn't all have cause to be here now, tearing a strip from his greedy, greasy backside.   One thing is for certain:  he was always, and I suspect will continue to be, his own biggest obstacle.
