The feeling from Maharaj was utter indifference. I do not see that as respect but then it isn't disrespect either. And this is in contrast to the utter respect he have his lineage. He may have also given the picture of J. Krishnamurti devotional respect as it hung on his walls. I do not know if he placed it up there himself or if it an offering from someone else. > > > > .
