Actually, in the TM movement it's even stranger. The guys who have the title of "Raja" not only didn't get the title in lieu of a raise, they had to pay their boss one million bucks for the title. No, I'm not kidding. I'm guessing, given the rest of your post, that you're some kind of "funeral gawker" drawn to this newsgroup out of curiosity after having noticed that Maharishi died. Don't assume that everyone here takes seriously the things that the TM movement takes seriously. If you get off on mocking the afflicted and feel- ing superior to them (which seems to be the case), you might want to aim your own lack of humility at the right targets.
