…a bold young man with long auburn curls and intense brown eyes. He had lived as a fruitarian in the jungles in Ecuador with a spiritual teacher named Johnny Lovewisdom. He knew about living on the land, gardening and smuggling various herbs. Every time we would pass the cannabis filled "peace pipe," he would bring out this big blue book and start telling me about The Urantia Book. I knew Jesus was groovy, but didn’t want to feel limited by any one teacher.

The quasi-Christian mix of science and religion in "The Urantia Book" — the text Stockhausen bought from the wizardly figure — became the spiritual basis for a huge operatic cycle, "Licht" ("Light"). Written from 1977 to 2003, "Licht" exceeds even Wagner's "Ring" cycle in its epic proportions, comprising seven full operas, one for each day of the week, and clocking in at 29 hours total. Stockhausen died in 2007, without having seen "Licht" staged in its entirety. But his work has found new life at the Cologne Opera, which in recent weeks presented the culmination of the cycle, "Sonntag" ("Sunday"). To house the production the company built two theaters within the cavernous Staatenhaus am Rheinpark, part of the city's exhibition center.

Did his persona rub off on you professionally, in any way? Every single one of my judgments has been guided and inspired by a divine hand (weeps). I believe in two entities, Krishna and Sathya Sai. I am not a devotee but a lover of Krishna. People may call me mad, and yes, this is madness. The madness of love. At the age of 11, I would run outside the house and weep for Krishna. As a professional, each time I would sit down to write a judgment at 5 'o'clock in the morning, I was only writing what my god dictated. Bhagwan held my hand as I put pen to paper. Everything that I have achieved in respect of the law, and people say I have achieved a lot, is owing to the guidance and inspiration of Sathya Sai Baba. There is no doubt on that score.

British media on Monday described Sathya Sai Baba, who passed away in Andhra Pradesh's Puttaparthi on Sunday, as one of the most enigmatic and remarkable religious figures of the last century. "Sathya Sai Baba, who died on Sunday, probably aged 84, was India's most famous, and most controv ersial, Swami or holy man, and one of the most enigmatic and remarkable religious figures of the last century," the Daily Telegraph reported. "To his followers, Sai Baba was a living god; a claim he did nothing to disavow. He would frequently liken himself to such figures as Christ, Krishna, and the Buddha, claiming that he was the avatara of the age - an avatar being a living incarnation of the divine," the report said. To his detractors he was a charlatan, albeit one of considerable ingenuity and enormous personal charisma and power," it said. Describing Sai Baba as one of India's most popular and controversial spiritual leaders, The Times said: "Sai Baba claimed to teach messages of truth, peace, love and non-violence and maintained that he did not require followers to give up their previous religious beliefs." "His popularity was huge across India, where his following included Bollywood stars, the cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, prime ministers, judges and civil servants.

Hundreds of Sathya Sai Baba devotees gathered at Sai Sankalp Hall at Omkar Nagar on Sunday to condole the death of their spiritual leader. A few others even left for Puttaparthi to have his last darshan. Baba, who died at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences at Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh this morning, will be cremated on Tuesday. Devotees here held special bhajans and prayers, and a 'Narayan Seva' by distributing fruits and food packets to the poor in morning. "Bhajans and Narayan Seva will be conducted over the next few days too," said BS Choudhari, president of the local Sathya Sai Seva Sanghatan. One of the devotees, Abhay Bhakre said that he had huge belief in Baba. "It is as if a member of our family has passed away,'' he said. Another devotee said that he was confident that Baba would take rebirth and return to serve the society, and take care of his followers.

It was only 50 years later that her adopted son learned she had been aborted & secretly sterilized while hospitalized. … Big Brother Obliara now tells us we should all love our elite intellectual betters and fund with taxpayer dollars our "betters" at Planned parethood.
