This is paraphrased, but Maharishi was asked at the end of this film from the early '70s for what he would like to be remembered. Maharishi looked a million miles into the distance and then said, disarmingly, "Nothing."
"Nothing?" "Nothing." "But you will be remembered!" "That will be up to those who will remember me!" (laughter) That beautiful moment --->>faster forward--->> Maharishi asking the rajas days before his death for a memorial, yielding plans for Towers of Immortality "here, there, and everywhere." Of all the things that saddens me about Maharishi's death, that saddens me the most. It's so Citizen Kane.
