You mustn't leave out Mata Ji, the original Divine Mother, personification of the Universal Femine principle,& peculiarly toadlike to even the initiated eye.

A couple of weeks after getting K in March '72, I went out in a rowing boat on the Serpentine, a lake in Hyde Park London, instead of going to Heathrow to greet Mata Ki Jai with everyone else. I fell in; what a lila/lesson,& had to travel back to wherever I was crashing at the time soaking wet.

My recollection of myself back then is that I was convinced by the fakir trick that 'the light' was indeed the Light of God, & that no matter how much I was revolted by those bastards, I just had to grin & bear it.
