Of
course his response is not a response to his critics, but is
clearly designed to reassure his remaining supporters, and
discourage them from reading this site.
In the first line, he places himself in the category of
'Masters', suggesting that the normal requirement of
accountability in some magical way does not apply to
him.
The matchstick/candle metaphor makes no sense. The spent
matchstick near a candle is likely to be the one that lit
the candle. This also calls into question Maharaji's own
judgement, as many of these people received Knowledge from
Maharaji himself.
In the next line he says that the criticism is not true,
without specifying any specific allegation. Much of the
damning content of this site is Maharaji's own words. Is he
saying he was lying when he spoke them? The allegations
about his private behaviour are made by several eye
witnesses who have nothing to gain by lying, and it
stretches credulity to believe they have somehow conspired
to tell the same lies.
His question 'Who should I complain to?' is interesting. Who
has asked or expects him to complain? It seems to be a very
childish response. The mature response to criticism is to
counter it with rational argument, or to accept it, and
reform. Sadly, I don't think Maharaji is capable of
either.
Webmaster.
