Romarishi

An honest story from a brave woman

Revisado: 04-29-20

This is an important book. Judith Bourque has written an honest account of her romantic relationship with her guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. There is a fine line between devotion to your guru and romantic love. To cross that line is frought with danger. There is a long list of gurus from India, as well as from other Asian countries, who came to America and were seduced by fame, fortune and sex. This is not to discount true gurus who exemplified honesty and integrity. I know that Judith Bourque's account is honest because first of all she relates it without malice. Secondly, her story has been confirmed by others who were there and by other women who also had intimate relations with Maharishi. This well written book will help many women who went through a similar experience and hopefully will warn other young women who could find themselves on the verge of beginning a sexual relationship with their teacher. Of course, whenever revelations regarding famous guru's sexual affairs surface there are always "true believers" who deny the truth and then attack the truth teller. This is a pattern that has repeated itself over and over again. Those who put their guru up on a pedestal and believed that they were perfect are usually unable to admit that their "perfect guru" was human and had weaknesses. As the title of the book aptly states, "Robes of Silk, Feet of Clay." I enjoyed this book tremendously because I too was a devoted disciple of Maharishi and a full-time teacher of Transcendental Meditation for 10 years. I am still grateful for what Maharishi taught me. It changed my life for the better. I now accept his humanness and rejoice that truth shall prevail. I applaud the author for having the courage to tell her story honestly. May it benefit many.
