Don't know why but I've always had issues with #gurus & I've met quite a few. The one that stands out for me was when

#Muktananda

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muktananda

came to Australia. I was squatting saving houses from being demolished in Glebe & I heard from a friend that he was speaking at East Sydney Tech College. So I thought I'd check him out taking 3 kids from our squat commune. When I arrived the room was full & Muktananda was on a stage with leopard skins scattered on the floor. He sat cross legged on the stage floor & as did the crowd in the hall floor I, with my 3 kids were at the back & kids being kids they started making some noise & restless movements.

Everybody in audience was QUIET & Muktananda asked that the kids be quiet. I tried to shoosh them & they were quiet for a short while. The cross legged audience all turned & stared at me. The vibes were very HEAVY & directed at me with their stares & gazes. Muktananda started to yell at me to keep the kids quiet. They were just doing kid stuff. I stood up& said, "What's your problem? They're kids being kids." Well, that didn't do down well with the hippie peacenik audience OMMING & Ahmming in my direction. Muktananda said, "Go, leave." I replied, "Funny, I think Jesus said suffer the little kids on Sermon on the Mount & he wldn't mind kids playing."

Time for another #Introduction.
Hoping with practice I’ll feel less awkward.
