Don't forget to take your acid! Love, Mom

The Washington Post Magazine's lead story Sunday involved a twenty-something who goes to India to find his uncle, who's become some sort of Hare Krishna guru-king.

It turns out that when your uncle's a guru, he acts a little weird. He sits on a bed with the writer in silence, smirking. But I think the weirdest part in the piece comes before he joins the Hare Krishnas:

--He thought about suicide, got kicked out of school and spoke of moving to Nepal. "Where did I go so wrong?" my grandmother, who still lives in Germany, wrote in her diary back then. One afternoon, terrified of losing her connection with her son, then 17 or 18, my grandmother, a good Lutheran, sat with him at the kitchen table and got high on LSD.--

Can you think of anything wilder than doing acid with your mom?

[Thanks to the Dropper!]

He's currently not part of the mainstream Hare Krishna movement. A very sincere and broadminded person.
I also joined the Hare Krishna movement after an acid trip at age 18, but I left (both physically and philosophically) 6 years later. I'm glad I did.
