Manmut

A Manmut (manmath, manmat) is Rawat's Hindi word for an apostate, someone who was once a devotee or at least "received Knowledge" ie was initiated and has realised that Rawat was an ignorant child who was proclaimed to be God incarnate but is no Master and his "Knowledge" is a simplistic set of meditation techniques. He declared some of the most prominent followers of his father manmaths in a letter to his administrators after they rejected him as Satguru. These included his mother, his elder brothers, the administrators of Divya Sandesh Parishad (Divine light Mission in India) that were appointed by his father including Ram Babu and Professor C.L. Tandon and Mahatma Satyanand his father's senior mahatma.

So glad to leave all that drama in the past now. I think you will find this forum to be alive and well. Honestly we have better satsang here than at one of his snooze-fests. 

With regards to my few remaining premie contacts, the gap is growing bigger and my tolerance has dwindled. Sometimes it's just best to let them go. I have new friends anyway, and they are alot more interesting. 

But I was in shock too, many years ago when a very close premie-friend announced that he had jumped ship. After several years we are close once again now. 

Funny how people cling to old ways though. I think it's basically fear of the unknown...all that Knowledge and no Freedom ?..Bum deal if you ask me.

Enjoy your time here, keen observations, wonderful stories and powerful insights.

Great posts above from Karenl "power and brain damage" and SuzyQ, spot on as always.

Time for an evening stroll down by the river...cheers !
