Since my wife has since passed away, I didn't really feel I should tell the name in the story -- both because she would not have wanted me to, because of her deep respect for his wife...and, because she's not here to swear to her side of the story if he would dispute it. However, I retold it here just as she related on many occasions to me...and I never knew her to be untruthful in twenty-four years of marriage. In addition, the reason for my post was to emphasize the importance of being true to the message. The fact is, what he was saying about women is RIGHT. Sometimes we have to realize that even flawed messengers can sometimes deliver vitally important messages. Thank you SO much for your question -- and contribution!

Why not be upfront and tell us? I don't see this as gossip, but if the criticism is valid, we all need to know, especially women. Great view point, but I’m curious who the guru is?

I just wrote a post about this not too long ago. Amazing. Isn't walking the talk what made them a "guru" in the first place? How many teachers don't think they need to be students anymore? You may be able to chalk it up to he was just having a bad day but it was two days? Interesting. Wayne Dyer said it best, situations don't make a person, they reveal a person. Apparently this was very revealing. Whoa. I just wrote a post about this not too long ago.

I'd read his stuff over a decade ago and his perspective about women made an impression on me. Ouch. That's all I can say. Oh, I think I know The Person (ahem) you mean.
