That’s my thinking in the matter. How the Maharishi rationalized everything.

I would have to dig up my research, but three years ago, I read a lot, plus used a lot of reason, and my keen understanding of that era’s culture, as well as that of India.

Of course, I wasn’t there, and please understand that a huge percentage of entertainers’ public statements, are not to be fully believed.

But the entire culture then, was just to have, well, “relations”, with anyone, anytime, for any reason, and people did. I don’t believe in that.

Consider: There is this famous guru. They are all involved in so much 60s thought. If, in fact, he took Mia, Prudence, another girl, or whoever, into the cave or whatever it was, to ostensibly meditate, his rationale was going to be, to do “it” with her, not mediate only.

What the Sam Hill, should they have expected? They should have known this might happen.

I mean, come on. Most religious guru types, or cultists, do this.

Further, as much as John was given to doing the bizarre or unusual, I cannot accept that he would write, and record a song, to chastise, or to get back at someone, unless the facts were true.

Of COURSE, everyone is going to deny it, just as several people who knew John Phillips, steadfastly deny what he did, to his daughter.

Lastly, remember that all the people on that India trip, were into LSD, etc, either then, or in general, and that distorts all realms of reason, decency, and truth.
