P: You are right, sometimes, he put up with them, but they were devotees of Hindu deities who came to him to learn from him. White Horse ( Frank) is not here to learn, but to proselytize for his own peculiar Christian cult. I don't think Maharaj would have allowed him to preach to his students in his own house. Anyway, he is gone, and it's you, as owner of the list, to decide whether this guy will drive people away or not. Sarlo too at the beginning, was reluctant to ban him, but later saw that Frank aim was to disrupt in the name of Christ what he views as the nonsense of pagans. Enough said! Whatever you decide is OK with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An email discussion group is a captive audience and members join because of their interest in Maharaj. It's essential to respect this fact. It would be pointless to join an old tyme Advaita Vedanta list and make fun of the Shri Shri Anandas and their devotion to Shankra's scriptures. Trust me, in my days I tried it once and got banned very quickly and the game gets old fast. Thanks Frank Mr White Horse for waking us but now ...as Austin Powers used to say, " Oh, behave.

From the examples I have read what you say about respectful and genuine is true. And I think he was especially apt to throw a pretentious individual out on his ear.
