I've been working on my opus rawaticus at http://www.prem-rawat-bio.org/ and after David Lovejoy responded to my posting some of his book here I've worked on the section in which he figures. And you are the star of that section.

Until I read PIP I had no idea how big a role you played in the creation of DLM in the West. How about you and I go back in time to 1968 and kill you as you're leaving that party where you highlighted it with Robin Williamson. And then maybe this whole sordid little episode would never have happened and Prem Rawat could have apprenticed himself to Charan Anand the carpenter and led a fine and decent, hard-working life. I'm sure he would have been much happier. Ah well, a man can dream.

Now I've offended you before and I'll probably offend you again but I would like to minimise the offense so if you go off to http://www.prem-rawat-bio.org/ and click on one of the "Hippies in India find the guru" links and have a look at what I've written about you I'd appreciate any corrections of fact and I'll consider an corrections of offense as well.

I've been collecting some printed satsangs from premies and I'm wondering if any of yours were printed or recorded. After reading a few I started to think what Rawat must have gone through in those days. Pretty well everyone surrounding him was smarter, taller, thinner, more attractive, more educated, more sophisticated, more spiritual and gave a hell of lot less boring satsang and yet he was the Lord. No wonder he was tense and worried all the time. When are they going to find me out he must have been thinking?

Ocker,

I know you are not trying to be offensive, and I'm pretty sure Saph won't take offense either, but I've had one email from someone who doesn't understand the subtleties of British/Australian irony who felt that you were being deliberately offensive. This sort of misunderstanding is bound to happen occasionally on an international forum, and we should be aware of the possibility when posting.

Saph, for my correspondent who is concerned about you, could you put their mind at ease? Of course, if Ocker has offended you, then let me know and I'll slap him around a bit.

John.

In "Guru Wants to Help" your text describes Prem as, "said to be a 15-year-old perfect roaster". Would you like some help with proofing for OCR mistakes?

Of course. That sounds like a newspaper article. I OCRed an awful lot of them but cause I bought them as .pdfs the OCRing usually went pretty well. It's astonishing how often the OCR program comes up with offensive terms when dealing with the difficult cult words and never positive ones.

Maybe your OCR is smarter than it looks. Okay. I think your WIP is pretty interesting and will be checking it out thoroughly, so I will make note of any weird ocr that I happen to see and let you know what and where - and you can get rid of the bloopers whenever you have a chance. Unless of course you like them better than the real text. I must say I like the Perfect Roaster a lot better than some other terms I've heard bandied about.
