What a fabulous story. David Sullivan saves a young girl from Divine Light Mission by completely misunderstanding the mother-son relationship. Instead of being a trained monkey waiting for Mata Ji to give him peanuts he was using his training and building his support group and waiting for the opportunity to cut free and take over the peanut factory.

Which he did, probably as soon as he thought it would work, as soon as he didn't need her and could chop her loose without cutting the branch he was sitting on. Millenium, November 1973 was probably the last time he needed her and its failure even made it easier to let her go down the garbage chute.
