There was a story in the Movement that some Buddhist priests came to an airport and met Maharishi as he was getting off a plane without knowing of him personally. Their astrological calculations indicated that there would be someone worth meeting ariving that day. There would be an indication in the natural zodiac (jyotish aries ascendant) of a world teacher being born. Then perhaps the best ascendant indicating the location. They might even be able to discern clues as to the name the child would have been given, properties of suroundings etc.
