"..Microphones all over the hall."

But not one real question allowed or else Prem Rawat may become very angry if he doesn't like the question.  Screened "expressions" only.  Believe me, you don't want to be on the receiving end of Rawat's wrath.  He admitted himself it ain't pretty.

I have no problem whether M knows my name or not.  (I think he does, though.)  One of my favorite groups is the Rolling Stones.  I've enjoyed them many times over the years in concert and I have no problem that Mick and Keith don't know my name.  I still enjoy their music.  Do all of the people that have helped you in your life know your name and if not, does that mean that they don't care about you?  Get real!

Yet you do talk about him as if he is your best friend.  Does your best friend know your name?  None of the people in my life who have helped me in any way (including my friends) have ever allowed me to refer to them as "My Lord," would never ALLOW me to kiss their feet, they've never told me I don't deserve their help, or to look at them, or listen to one word they have to say because I'm the lowest of the lowest people on earth. They never told me to surrender my entire life to them.  Maharaji did all of those things.

And he didn't know my name at the time.  In fact, it took Maharaji a couple of MONTHS of talking to me on the phone before he bothered to even ask me my name.  In the real world, that is very strange, Joy.  I had surrendered my entire life to him and he didn't even care what my name was until it suited his purpose.  He held me up as a example of what he thinks a good, responsive devotee to Maharaji should be.  How 'bout them apples??? 

You compare Maharaji to Mick Jagger, a stage act, eh?  Congratulations!  You're getting closer to the truth, except that Jagger and the Stones have worked to earn their money.  Maharaji never worked a legitimate day in his entire life.
