And I too, O king, shooting sharp shafts by hundreds and thousands, repeatedly cut off Rama's arrows in mid-air before they could come at me. Then the mighty son of Jamadagni began to hurl celestial weapons at me, all of which I repelled, desirous of achieving mightier feats, O thou of strong arms, with my weapons. And loud was the din that then arose in the welkin all around.
He displayed his concern one desert trip by accompanying a handicapped student who was unable to keep pace with the group. I recalled one of Rama's lessons: "You can tell a person's level of spiritual evolution by how they treat those around them." I felt proud of my teacher. But shortly thereafter, Rama's attitude changed. He began four-wheeling the desert sands while the rest of us walked.
Then Rawunna, the giant, assuming the shape of a pilgrim yogee rolling to the Caves of Ellora, with Gayntree, the mystical text, on his lips, and the shadow of Siva's beard in his soul, rolls to Rama's door, and cries, "Alms, alms, in the name of the Destroyer!"
He then informed the "MAYBE" as well as the "YES" disciples that if they wanted to study with him in this or in any future lifetime, they should prepare to move to Silicon Valley. Several hundred disciples made the move and attended Rama's first gathering in Palo Alto, California.
The messenger of Ravana then goes away mortified to represent the matter to the minister of Ravana. The saint and his visitors then retire into the hermitage. Malyavan, the minister and maternal grandfather of Ravana and the king's sister Surpanakha have heard the news of Rama's wedding with Sita from Siddhasrama and discuss the consequences with some apprehension.
I read about Rama's claim that those who had not done well in his program were "simply unrealistic or lazy." And I read about Rama's claim that he merely wanted to teach, travel, meditate, and, when time permitted, date women. "I have a great life," Rama was quoted as saying. "I'm one of the happier people I know."
Ford said hello and went inside with the agent. We followed. When the entourage reached the master bedroom, Rama gazed at the ocean and declared, "The Force is strong here." But Ford did not seem interested in Rama's assessment of the local mystical energy field. Nor did Ford seem interested in Rama's recollections about his fire fighting days. He started to leave.
True, she had been accepted at a number of medical schools, including Stanford. She *was* extremely bright. But as Rama's mouthpiece, she was the one who had threatened dissenters with serious harm. "Dr. Wayne Surdam" and "Dr. Ermano Rambaldi." True, they were an award-winning UC Berkeley scholar and a UCLA geologist respectively. True, they *had* taken the study of spirituality to heart.
Perhaps he broke up with his "jealous" wife "She kept imagining that I was looking at other women... " in search of the many. Once I invited a friend from work to one of Rama's public lectures. She was interested in meditation and had recently left her boyfriend. "Thanks, but no thanks!" she exclaimed when I mentioned the lecturer's name. "So, what's wrong with Rama?"
In the other, the bulls and the young bulls snorted and stamped, but though they looked more imposing they were much less dangerous, for they had no calves to protect. No six men could have divided the herd so neatly. "What orders!" panted Akela. "They are trying to join again." Mowgli slipped on to Rama's back. "Drive the bulls away to the left, Akela.
