In a recent article about the incest controversy involving Mackenzie Phillips (One Day At A Time actress) and her father John Phillips (The Mamas & The Papas music group), Tamerlane Phillips, son of John and his third wife Genevieve, offered this:
"My family is and always will be a decrepit bowl of dog urine compared to Nityananda of Ganeshpuri," Tamerlane told the New York Post. "That is how great Nityananda is." The Indian yogi died in 1961. "Worship Nityananda, not the Phillips family. Nityananda can protect you."

Without even getting into his twisted idol worship of dead Indian mystics, Tamerlane's obvious hatred of his entire family is pretty sad, to espouse it as he does in public is downright pathetic, although it's truly just par for the course regarding the Phillips clan.
One of the most enduring "folk" songs of all-time is "California Dreaming", it has been a hit several times by several artists over the last 40 or so years. In it, John Phillips wrote and sang:
I passed along the way
Oh, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray"
For years I joyfully sang along with the song thinking the last line of the verse was "And I began to pray". The life of John Phillips and so many members of his family could have seen a great deal less suffering and sickness of mind and soul than they have if he had actually prayed to God rather than mocking him.

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." - Galatians 6:7-8
