Elan Vitral's Explanation of the phrase and title "Lord of the Universe" 

"Why was he called "Lord of the Universe" in the '70s? In Western culture, when a title is given to a person, it comes with a position. In India, by contrast, such grand labels as "His Holiness" or "Lord of the Universe" are given on the basis of affection or admiration. The use of this title, which was used only in the '70s—an era of love for all things Indian— does not imply any claims that the person is holy anymore than the use of "His Excellence" means that the person is an embodiment of excellence. "I am a human being, and you are a human being," says Maharaji, "and that is the basis of this relationship." Other people in India have also been called "Lord of the Universe" well before Maharaji, without its ever implying that they claimed to rule the universe or have anything to do with its creation."

GRRRRRR!  We were there.  We know the truth.  Elan Vital's explanation is not just inaccurate, it is a falsehood, a lie.  The proof of this statement can be found in the Archives and in all the media hype that he told us to destroy a few years ago, wherein he compared himself to Jesus and Buddha and Krishna, and that he was the same order of Being as they, and that his mission was similar, to spread the Knowledge of God.  That is why so many came to him in the first place.  

So what else is new?
