Thanks for the replies and directins to the other sites which i have been reading and qite frankly my head is now spinninng. The web site from Mike is the one that has really interested me and in paticular the the photos on there. Scrolling through to the one of the instrutors and seeing my father there came as a shock to me.

My father Rychard Bennett is the main reasoon i have come to question maharaji as i am now doing. I have always been aware he was an instroctorand how involved with service etc he was, he also was alays very happy doing this. This changed last year when he contated terminal cancer and subsuquently passed away. During his decline he spent several months slowly deterioratin in a hospice and stayed there with him, during this time various premies all desended upon us to meke sure he was in the 'peaceful' place knowledge could provide. during the long nights i slept with him he spoke to me and revealed that the only that mattered to him now was his familly and is love for us and that he wanted to spend his last precius time with us, yet this wish was not respected by the local premies who even went so far as to try and organise a mass pratising session to help him find peace and slip away, i as the one staying with him had to fight to keep them away.

At his funreal which i organised they again took over and spook hoghly inapropriatley of his dedication to his master above all else and even mabaged to start singing what i later found out were old school premie songs in the church. All these negative experiances and the words of my father have really fuelled my need for the truth. The content of the websites i've just read have streangthed this but the one thing i find stounding is that Maharaji himself will not adress the,. How can he ask for such a dedicatyion and unquestioning loyalty when he wont address such key issues.

I also read through the technoques on knowledge and my overal feeling on that is 'thats the big secret' why can that never be talked about.

My step father is now very hoghly involved in Maharaji security and on occasions guards him personelly when i've attended events i have always been sat at th very front and now feel that i need to ask this man who actually gave me my name some importannt questions, is there any views on what would be acceptable for me to ask?.
