Sorry, Joe, you missed out on those purple and orange tabs.  They were GOOD EATINS, my man.  Out of your system in 20 minutes but lasts 14-16 hours, the next poster says, and quite correctly.  I totally agree with your analysis of the BOREDOM and GRIND of doing the Rawat Techniques (found easily enough at your nearest online book shop).  Accordingly, LSD and the techniques are as different as night and day. 

You might recall my writing a long time ago that while at Prem Nagar ashram and tin foil wrapped purple tab of acid fell out of my wallet one day.  I was shocked.  I jokingly offered it to Padarthananand, who humbly refused.  SHOULD DROPPED THAT SUCKER (the tab, not the mahatman) RIGHT THERE.

In the long run, however, Joe, you did fine without it, growing nicely and in tune with your surroundings.  Being thrown into the forest and reliving our animal existence on LSD was not always the most fun.  However, dancing to the Dead was.  Later, my friend.
