I spoke with Deepak Chopra this morning after a radio interview he did in DC. As we walked to his car, he spoke about his sadness about the current state of the TM org. I mentioned that I felt that his recent essays after Maharishi's passing were very valuable for people to hear and that it has stimulated alot of emails on this YahooGroup discussion board. He said that he just had to do it to clear the air about his relationship with the TM org over the years.
He said that when Maharishi first came to Holland Deepak got Tony Nadar's attention and said "Let's take a walk". During that walk he told Tony about all the details of Maharishi's near death illnesses and his time in England. Deepak said that upon hearing this, Tony was in shock and said to him "I don't believe a word of this". I asked Deepak if I may share his conversation with this group. He said "Absolutely" John
