With His Guru’s Full Permission, Ben Lee Has Decided To Get Hitched
This is nice news for a Wednesday, isn’t it? Ben Lee (pictured left with The Two Ronnies) has popped the question to girlfriend Ione Skye – but before he did, he had to get the go ahead from his spiritual guru Sakthi Narayani Amma. Lucky for all involved then that Amma gave Ione two thumbs up!
From the Daily Telegraph, who in turn grabbed it from Ben’s blog…
Amma told me: ‘The purpose of marriage in human life is to build a family. Partnership is not just for enjoyment, as it is for animals. Once you understand this, it will not take you off your path. Marriage will be good for Ben’.”
The guru continued: “In the past, Ben has wavered on his path as he didn’t have support. Ione understands his job and profession and can support him. She is spiritually connected to the divine. There should not be any problem with Ben and Ione. Every marriage has adjustments. You cannot plan for everything in life. But it can be smooth. Ben can ask Ione. Amma will bless everything.”
Three cheers, etc etc.
If they need help organising the reception, we know of a party planner in Narre Warren who can throw a memorable bash for a large number of people at short notice. Oh god, when will we let that story die?

What “Sakthi” Narayani Amma should be telling Lee is that he doesn’t need to ask his guru if he should get married. That isn’t what a guru is for, and the fact that “Amma” (please note the popularity of this name, used by no less than four other big-time gurus) is serving up this kind of counseling shows he’s really just looking for a few good (rich, famous) devotees to milk rather than actually bring a student to their own spiritual independence.
Imagine a slightly sweaty Ben holding a boombox playing “Catch My Disease” above a head filled with a voice chanting “We’re not worthy, we’re not worthy…” as his degrees of separation from the Beastie Boys shorten again. Bastard!
