Hope I won't disappoint you by saying that I have no doubt that Neem had sex with these gals and the fact that they were western hippy chicks don't let him off the hook. Back then lots of girls and boys felt pressured to have sex in order not to be considered uptight! A Guru ought not to take advantage and if he does he ought to be read to from the Book about it! My dilema is that I still like the old boy!<BR/><BR/>As for Maharishi, there is little doubt remaining that he did the same kind of thing. People are comin forward. Maybe Mia Farrow didn't come completly clean about Mugharishi's advances cause she was embarrassed that she had been grabbed by a hairy fellow only 5 foot tall! Could be like what I went through in 1967 with Fat Peggy Bryant. Dimebox had played the Crockett, Texas Bulldogs in football and I was under the stands lookin for loose change when Peggy come up on me and tried by the sheer force of her weight to carry me to the ground and have her way with me! Now I was a Baptist and weighed only 250 at the time. Peggy was a holy roller and had a good 35 pounds on me, so I went down under the gal! Did I want to go around tellin folks what Fat Peggy had done? Not this child!CHUCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07267971797676081720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-88386166556355182842008-04-18T10:52:00.000-06:002008-04-18T10:52:00.000-06:00>>>"The minute we get our western hands on somethi...>>>"The minute we get our western hands on something, we turn it all to sex, drugs and rock and roll.

I really appreciate the way you look at these spiritual/yoga type things. Must be your Texan sensibilities bringing balance, not hysteria to the discussion. I too am also partial to NKB. I have the third edition of "Miracle of Love" and I don't see the Krishna Play chapter. That being said, I don't believe that crap either. It's just like Mia Farrow saying she "thought" MMY hugged her in an inappropriate way. She was meditating, she was hungry, spaced out, it was the 60's, whatever. I'm not defending MMY, here, rather NKB and I'm saying, a "touching" situation can get confusing, especially when the touchee is tripping on acid, like many of the visitors to NKB were, acid given to them by Ram Dass. Doesn't seem like NKB hung out with the Americans much anyway and touching their breasts, donkey shit. The devotees of NKB that I've met, who MTM, "met the man"....all seem like pretty good people, a little quirky and little neurotic but who cares, we all are! I think NKB not having come to the US was the best thing he could have ever done. I'm sure it wasn't by mistake. The minute we get our western hands on something, we turn it all to sex, drugs and rock and roll. These are all things of which I am in favor, however we don't need to then see the Guru through our stoned, tripping, over-sexed eyes.....Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, fuckupedness is also, don't you think? If you see the Guru through twisted, sour, bitter, cynical, wasted eyes, how are you going to perceive that Guru? Right. Peter, thank you for your posting of the NKB blogspot with the lovely footage of him.<BR/>Ram, RamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-57404494179064758622008-04-16T06:29:00.000-06:002008-04-16T06:29:00.000-06:00Neem Karoli Baba<A HREF="http://neemkarolibaba.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Neem Karoli Baba</A>Peter Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112022768644685401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-82658771089731392172008-04-15T20:37:00.000-06:002008-04-15T20:37:00.000-06:00I will indeed write somethin when I can!All you go...<I>I will indeed write somethin when I can!</I><BR/><BR/>All you got to do is share and comment on the wisdom of Da Free Jack.

Just now I am runnin so hard to make ends meet that I can hardly keep up my weight! Plus, this time of every year there is a month long gatherin of the extended Family Chuck... It's quite a challenge to mine and momma's side by side double wides to contain this much human pork! I am also in quite a quandry over this here topic... As said before I did love and admire NKB when I was piglet but the idea as expressed in the original "Miracle of Love" book before the Krishna Play part got edited out--- that NKB was fondlin young women just to help them in some mysterious way don't sit well with a Texan! It don't have the ring of truth and smells like my septic tank after the Chuck family has been at it for a while! Still I am partial to the man... What to do?? If you threw an extra 25 pounds on NKB dressed him in blue overalls, a string tie, Tony Llamas, and a straw stetson, he would look just like yours truly!CHUCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07267971797676081720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-84763009814874694302008-04-14T12:31:00.000-06:002008-04-14T12:31:00.000-06:00dada mukerjee's frank account: http://babaji.nu.dada mukerjee's frank account: http://babaji.nu.Peter Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112022768644685401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-14108004660748895672008-04-14T10:04:00.000-06:002008-04-14T10:04:00.000-06:00Chuckji!

He was almost as fat as me and just as gapped toothed but folks still liked him! The fact that he--through the writin of Baba Ram Dass-- made us happy when we was younguns probably makes us want to go easy on the man. He may have been a hooter type man but he was fun and didn't seem to want to control the souls of the folks around him, like Mugharishi, Sly Baba, She She, Kracki and others mentioned here abouts! It's kind of like letting Bill Clinton off the hook for likin big bossomed and big haired women like his Mamma. We admired him for gettin blow jobs in a closet and forget that he had the military attack a supposed terrorist bomb factory on the first day of his impeachment hearins, which turned out to be an aspirin factory or somethin like that! Boys will be boys and NKB was a Big Boy!CHUCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07267971797676081720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-62923386525860420442008-04-14T08:16:00.000-06:002008-04-14T08:16:00.000-06:00decide yourselfNot on the basis of that whitewash....<I>decide yourself</I><BR/><BR/>Not on the basis of that whitewash.guruphiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196278871433195577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-47205557216216826502008-04-14T08:00:00.000-06:002008-04-14T08:00:00.000-06:00decide yourself: http://maharaj.nudecide yourself: http://maharaj.nuPeter Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112022768644685401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-84812042830506257452008-04-12T20:38:00.000-06:002008-04-12T20:38:00.000-06:00I know long time followers of his who admit he was...I know long time followers of his who admit he was a liar.

Millions of yogis live like this in India. And many more people around the world survive owning nothing out of necessity, not choice.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what's meant here by "true guru." The fact that somene lives incredibly simply may make him an interesting person. That doesn't mean that there's any merit to believing in (or worshipping) such a person as a superior being, or to embracing their words as a higher truth.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous said... <BR/><I>Ouch! Can't anyone get a break here??? "but still managed to have sex with his female students". WTF! How in the world would YOU know that?</I><BR/><BR/>Everybody gets a break, in the sense that everyone ought to be honored as a human being like ourselves. Nobody should get a break, in the sense of believing that they're "true guru" or superior being... based on mere stories.<BR/><BR/>That is: just as claims that Neem Karoli fondles some ta-tas are speculative, claims of his miraculous powers and exaulted states are just as speculative. Those of us who never met him are just relying on stories. Even those who did meet him can't speak with authority about Neem Karoli's state; only the man himself knew that, and he ain't sayin'.<BR/><BR/>I think there may be some group-think going on. That is, some gurus, like Neem Karoli and Ramana Maharishi, are so widely and deeply revered, that people will "follow the crowd" and consider them to have god-like powers or attainments.<BR/><BR/>It's like Paris Hilton "being famous for being famous." Once a guru gains a critical mass of followers, the gravitational force of the shared belief pulls in new people, through the amazing power of belief in group dynamics.<BR/><BR/>Stuart<BR/><A HREF="http://stuart-randomthoughts.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Stuart</A><BR/>http://stuart-randomthoughts.blogspot.com/stuartresnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879896068458013439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-45742704345879306332008-04-11T14:22:00.000-06:002008-04-11T14:22:00.000-06:00Ouch!
