MEMORIES FROM THE 1970 IES
I was in and out of the cult and by no means a right hand man but I do remember BUTLER took all kinds of extra things like bee pollen, royal jelly and ginseng. These things were way to expensive for the commoners, all we got was vegetables and fruit, carrots and celery, your typical vegetarian diet. There was also milk from time to time but not an abundance. Reading some of the posts here it sounds like his needs only increased as time went by.
BUTLER was deadly against sugar too. That eventually got him in trouble with the main hare Krishnas and his future guru,(SWAMI BHAKTIVEDANTA ) as they love tons of sugar. So it had to be honey which was pretty costly for a bunch of unemployed hippie new age spiritualist. But BUTLER had plenty of what he needed. It was very important that Sai got whatever he needed as the so-called representative of God was given more than the commoner. But one thing is for sure BUTLERnever ate meat
It is a wonder any of us survived on carrots, celery, coconut and other things we could forage. The vegetarian diet is very dangerous without enough protein. As time goes by the evidence of the dangers of vegetarianism are becoming well known. Just google it and see all the problems a vegetarian diet can cause. The cow was given to us to be eaten not prayed to or worshipped.
BUTLER was treated special and catered to like any yoga guru. In most Hindu sects there is a guru and he is considered to be as good as god, or one of the many gods the hindus worship. If we are not calling Butlerand his group hindus, well we sure behaved like a number of hindu sects. Thats the Lords honest truth. I take it we are supposed to give some special respect for the Hindu religion as a whole so I will be careful not to refer to those Hindus as a cult. But the fact is many sects of Hindus follow the same rules Butler gave us,
