I got out thanks to information and discussion on previous forums like this one, set up and maintained by folks who had already exited. This site is here to be a thorn in Maharaji's side, to support exes and wavering premies.

Quite frankly, though when I first came to the forums I was focussing incessantly on the trickster that I had dedicated most of my life too, nowadays I hardly ever think of him - I am too busy with living. But I do have empathy for those who are still enmeshed in his scam and for those who are still making sense of it all.

Empathy doesn't appear to be one of your strong points Abe. I do find it rather absurd and somewhat arrogant for anyone to step into a forum that has formed over a period of time, think they have sussed everyone and make neat suggestions about what they should be doing (like they had never been previously considered!)
