Shocking. Also beause of Mrs Weed’s condoning the murders when she was a devotee.

Hello Andries. Nice to hear from you. She has more than made up for not speaking out when she was in the throes of total indoctrination and living within the circle she did (i.e. people willing to say or do anything Swami ordered, especially against those who expressed serious doubts or gave away secrets. The indoctrination was so powerful in both her case and that of hundreds of residents of Prashanthi who have STILL remained silent about what they know, as well as the many thousands, perhaps more, who still are in total denial. Eileen Weed was brought up by parent who worshipped Yogananda and other gurus, later also Sai Baba… with such a background,it takes great personal strength to overcome all that one has believed and been taught constantly.
Best wishes, Robert

The “Kill them” needs an explanation mark! “Kill them!” That is because the word ‘kill’ (champeyundi) has the RA at the end of the word. RA is added only when men are talking to men (women never use it) and it is a sort of a colloquial banter between men, to add emphasis, and even a feeling of ordering – when used in this way as a statement, not a question or a matter of consultation.

Telugu, like the Indian psyche, is so full of subtitles! ‘Champe’ is the word ‘kill,’ then the ‘undi’ is a respectful term thrown at the end of various words with no rhyme or reason, to convey that the person one is talking to is respected, and then ‘ra’ is the banter between men to show camaraderie, and to put emphasis. Such a delicate dance to balance respect for equals (or in this case, the police in a very important position of power) with an order!
