If memory serves, and in this case my memory is quite clear, a premie friend who was at the auction told me that all items were donated by Rawat. They were gifts given him over the years by premies, and "Maharaji is so wonderful", giving these precious things away to be auctioned off. Isn't that special? Giving away his dear treasures to make more money? What a great guy. Ah, the bliss!So, here is what we have: Premies gave Rawat all this stuff. He then "gifted" (god, I hate that term) the stuff to the auction. The crap auction raises $700,000. That money goes to TPRF to 'further its efforts'. Which are what? Supporting Rawat. Does anybody else have a problem with this? Premies! Are you all okay with this twisted, deceitful action by your "master"? Please tell me you aren't! If George W. Bush pulled a stunt like that you'd be up in arms and you know it! Take the blinders off, please!
