: on a psyche-spirit axis. Rajneesh, whom the author rightly describes as a pioneer in the globalisation of spirituality, called for a rejection of all conventional values, going to the extent of exhorting his followers to “be absolutely selfish”. Gandhi was no less of an oddball in seeing fearlessness as the first requisite of spirituality. He did not shrink from stating even his most controversial beliefs publicly: “Thousands of Hindu and Muslim women come to me. They are like my own mothers, sisters and daughters.

This article of Renuka Bisht is totally in violation of the scripture of ethical and morale value, the example coted of Mahatma would side track the entire issue. Control of panchedriya gnanma means there is no need of sleeping side by side let what ver it may be. What scriptures say is that one should be askalitha brahmachari, meaning one should not get exited are sexually aroused while looking at the beautifulest woman or girl on this earth. There are so many other tests for that.
