I can understand the frustration of someone working hard on something only to have someone else post something prematurely or whatever. At the same time, this forum is not a journalistic endeavor—by far. I'm sorry, but the forum is full of personal opinions and everyones reasons for posting are different and emotionally charged in varying ways.
If you are working on some specific piece, and don't want others to tread on the same territory—well, let us all know, we are all on the same side about this after all. Let everyone know that you are working on something and would appreciate any help or feedback.
On to other things: A recent observation and maybe this was mentioned here at some point before, is that I am really viewing this Tulsi/political involvement as some sort of diluted/deluded attempt by by butler to create a modern day Gita drama—with Tusli as his Arjuna and the charged current political landscape as a Kurakstera battlefield. Politics is a great way to "play god" while coming off as a "servant of the people". We've all hear the line before. From Nixon to Trump and all throughout history.
As far as this book that butlers dad wrote: it's a astoundingly horrible book cover. The fact that this Dr. even felt like writing a book about something that no sane human should even give a shit about is a sign of deeply rooted ego problems/trauma within the family (that one needs to pay $17 to hear about). Who in their right mind wants to read a book like that? It's plainly obvious that anyone who will sit on a big throne and accept people bowing to them and offering them flower garlands has deeply rooted attention issues. A real pious and humble person would not allow this kind of behavior from those who are inspired by their teachings.
I once recall one of my guru's telling me that I should not trust anyone darker than his skin color (he was white). Another one told me that it was not appropriate to refer to him and his wife as "You guys..." When I asked "Which part of the property would you guys like me to mow first today?". Here I was, free labor to mow this man's massive property on maui where only him and his wife resided. I build ponds for him, tended gardens, cooked, took care of the deities etc—and he got his BVDs in a bunch over a figure of speech... This, my friends, is ego with no limit. You can listen to certain butler lectures where his vile words to his simple minded followers or towards a minority group is basically a sound bite from one of Trumps talks/rants. They are bigoted, racist, mysogonistic, arrogant and lack any compassion. They put on a show and behind closed doors they go all out. Tusta Krishna and Butler had such foul language among themselves that if you were a fly on the wall yer wings would fall off.
I heard so many lecture where butler just could not get enough of bagging on homosexuals (and was made to write essays on this crap—sometimes having heard the lecture 6-10 times before, since for some reason butler just stopped giving lectures at some point). We were forced to watch completely vile anti-gay videos in the PI that left my stomach churning. They were scare-tactic videos showing poor gay men who were sick and dying from AIDS and close up clips of gay parades where men were engaging in intercourse in the street and so forth. We were between the ages of 10-16. I was 12. This was butlers great educational system. To create an army of bigoted, angry boys who knew tae kwon do, could not express them selves sexually without being viewed and made to feel as flawed specimens and animalistic and taught verse after verse from the Gita, a veritable war cry, instigating one to simply act and follow without thinking because it was your great and chosen "duty". Bravo! Hurrah!
