We have met. But he is incorrigibly attached that his pronouncements are

factual and I feel it a duty to warn others that he is misrepresenting the

parampara.

Better some unhappiness and tension now than far greater unhappiness and

tension later on when he has initiated many more followers who believe all

his bizzare statements.

I haven't heard anything from the EC about this. As I see it the GBC mostly

responds to external pressure, to avoid embarrasment. Not a principle-driven

body.

It is not humility, but cowardice and criminal neglect to stand by and watch

as his spiritual master's movement is led astray.
