This story, which was told to me by a few long-time disciples who claimed that Chinmoy himself had told them. BTW, the Mother has written about Chinmoy in a highly negative way in what I believe is called "The Mother's Agenda." I have seen the what she has written and it's readily available.If anyone has an interest, I can, no doubt, find it for you. It's been a few years since I read her account of Chinmoy's behavior both inside and outside the Sri Aurobindo ashram.I can tell you from first hand experience that Chinmoy had a very negative opinion of the Mother as well, and quoted Sri Aurobindo as saying, (in reference to the Mother), "She is killing me."Whether or not that was true, would be sheer speculation on my part, but, like father like son, perhaps, Chinmoy had a very bad time of it with his own, now discredited, Shakti, who was known as Alo Devi (Beverly Siegerman).Chinmoy would often say about Beverly, "She is killing me."It seems that Avatars have just as many "marital" problems as the rest of us, haha. Maybe it's just their expression of Oneness with the rest of us.Gary ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^) "my wife is an angel" someone told nasrudin. "yes, i know what you mean. mine isn't human either" replied nasrudin. _()_ yosy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
