What if, just what if.... We know that that Maharaji or TPRF is right now actively soliciting donations to help the Katrina hurricane victims. And as they say on TPRF: Volunteers from TPRF, the organization through which Prem Rawat spearheads significant humanitarian initiatives, are currently exploring the best ways to bring relief to hurricane victims most in need.
So, here we are where 'they', the nameless volunteers from an organization that doesn't have any members, have yet to determine how to best help the victims of the hurricane with the funds that come in to TPRF.
Ok, can we stop for just one tiny moment and establish one fact here?
Can we establish the fact that TPRF and premies, in general, have absolutely ZERO experience in providing direct aid and assistance to a disaster situation like the Katrina hurricane or the South Asian Tsunami?
Can we all agree and accept that reality?
I mean I was a premie in the hey-day of the 1970's when the WPC and DUO really had members and a mission and I think the best we ever came up was marching around the neighborhood picking up litter and that effort tooks weeks to coordinate and manage.
Alright, there was the times that the local DUO (via the ashram) managed to got invited to do skits in the psych wards at the local public hospitals, but even that turned into a huge scandal when the medicine cabinets were looted by some of the bongo premies. Ok, I'm just embellishing on that one, but the trips the hospitals were a pretty pathetic and that phase lasted a whole month and a half.
As for providing the action and promises of DUO that Maharaji proclaimed the efforts of premies were less than stellar and it soon came to a complete halt in my community.
Ok, maybe 'they' can get that hot dog trailer (see http://www.drek.us/pics/the_trailer_t4b.jpg) they recently bought in the UK for propagation and they can make and distribute chapatis or Millennium bars. And maybe that's what 'they' did in India. It sounded like the Raj Vivisection Society was going to send a truck into the disaster zone in south eastern India and start feeding people or something. Who knows? The fact is that we'll never really know because it seems that Maharaji or TPRF doesn't have to tell anyone what they do with that money in great detail.
But more importantly, what is it that Maharaji really has to offer?
What is the greatest gift that Maharaji, himself, has to offer?
What is Maharaji all about?
Ok, I'm talking about now and not the 70's when Maharaji said he was our Savior or God and let us kiss his feet.
I think the big message today is Maharaji (aka Prem Rawat) is a motivational speaker who offers a message of peace and hope, etc. Right?
That Message Of Peace (MOP) is the real product that Maharaji has to sell.
So, why should Maharaji bother to have premies in Atlanta or Texas, if there are any left, start cooking up Millennium bars to provide free to the victims of Katrina when Maharaji could provide the victims with something that could really help them out. And what would that be?
Yes, it's the Message of Peace, the Message of Hope.
The homeless victims of Katrina are in despair and hopeless.
The victims of Katrina need Maharaji's message of peace and hope, either the new one or the old one, that tells them that nothing in this world matters and it is all an illusion or maya.
Perhaps, Maharaji should tell them of the story of the devotee of the Perfect Master of the time who went down to the river to fetch the Master some drinking water and when the devotee (we'll call him Sam) got to the river he saw a man drowning in river. Sam immediately jumped in and saved the man. The man was rather rich and insisted upon rewarding Sam and took him home for a home cooked meal made by his beautiful young and unmarried daughter, Beverley. One thing led to another and Sam fell in love with Beverley and they married and had children. Eventually, Beverley's father died and Sam owned the whole estate. Sam and Beverley had children and everything was fine and dandy until one day there was a typhoon and it rained and rained and the winds blew and blew and took Sam's home away and his children one by one and finally the winds took his wife, Beverley. Sam found himself holding on for dear life onto the trunk of a palm tree when his strength gave out and he was torn from the tree and thrown into the raging river, the same one he rescued Beverley's father from so many years ago.
Sam was being thrown about by the violent current of the river. Sam was losing his battle and his lungs were filling with water as he began to sink.
And from nowhere a hand reached into the river and pulled Sam from it and onto the dry shore underneath a warm sun on a calm day.
The hand belonged to his Master, Shri Keno-Bob. Shri Keno-Bob said, I've been waiting for my water. What took you so long?
Ok, that's rather silly, but all of us old timer premies from the 70's got plenty of that kind of shit from Maharaji ad infinitum. Yup, this World doesn't matter. It's all maya. Your homes, your education, your careers, your family, your wives, and your children are nothing. Don't bother. I am the Perfect Master and I am all that you should ever want. I am your Living Perfect Master. Love me! Worship me! Love me! Surrender to me! But, again, what if Maharaji in all his wisdom decided to give the victims what he thought would benefit them the most and that was his message of peace and hope. And what would be the best way to disseminate that message of peace and hope? You betcha! The best way to disseminate Maharaji's message of peace and hope would be by DVD or cassette tape. And we all know that the shipping and handling of these precious DVDs is at least $20 a unit. So, if Premies gave Maharaji $100,000 USD that would mean that Maharaji could purchase from Elan Vital or Visions or EverSound the DVDs or cassettes and have them shipped to places like the Houston Astrodome and wherever else the Katrina refuges are staying or even to their home addresses or P.O. Boxes. For the $100,000 dollars that Premies might donate Maharaji could unload some 5,000 units that are just collecting dust in a warehouse in Thousand Oaks, California. And think of the side effect: Maharaji might have a flock of new customers. How to help the victims of Katrina is a no-brainer. Send them copies of the Keys!!!! It's not like they've got a whole lot else to do with their time while they hang out inside the Houston Astrodome. And I'm sure that parts of the parking lot are still roped off for all the spaceships from all across the galaxy that are expected to arrive. Ok, maybe the parking lot is roped off for medivac helicopters. It's been so damn long and I was, like, so blissed out, you know? Ok, maybe, just maybe Maharaji could get Bhole Ji and the Blue Aquarius Band to do a reunion benefit concert at the Astrodome. Now, I'd pay good money for that. And as an added bonus if donations are in excess of $1,000,000 Maharaji himself will get on stage in his pearl mala and dance for everyone in the Houston Astrodome!!!!!
