I don't think the ordinary Indian premies know about Rawat smoking cigarettes, drinking liquor and having a mistress. They will refuse to believe it. In India most of the premies are very poor and innocent villagers who gets attracted to M because of his ability to speak in very good Hindi. Middle class Indians might not have a problem with M eating meat. But his other habits are considered taboo for a spiritually 'enlightened' man by all walks of our society. I didn't know about his habits until I visited EPO and read firsthand experiences of ex-premies. Recently another Godmen of the Shankaracharaya fame was arrested in India for involvement in the murder of his temple manager.
