My name is Charles, and I’ve been practicing Knowledge since I first heard about Maharaji in 1980. Both Maharaji, and people who practice Maharaji's gift of Knowledge are being attacked viciously as "cult members", brainwashed, weak-minded, or just plain stupid and gullible. As my grandmother would say: "That's crazy talk." I’m a practicing attorney with one of the world’s most prestigious law firms. I was graduated as valedictorian with a dual degree in Political Science and Political Philosophy from one of the nation’s largest universities. I have a law degree from one of the very top law schools in the world. I speak two different languages, am an accomplished classical guitarist, and was a nationally-ranked foil fencer. I’m a lot of things, but a brain-washed cult-member isn't one of them.
