Re:the move by Girish and the Indian TMO that surprised Bevan (I'd really like to see that 7/20/08 statement by Bevan, BTW- might it show up on You Tube ? ). Bevan was probably surprised by Girish's move because Bevan publically promotes the continued flow of Western resources to the Indian TMO. The day before the most recent MUM graduation a few weeks ago, Bevan informed a meeting of MUM supporters that Dr. Howard Settle had committed to working to create a $1Billion endowment for the Bramananda Saraswati Trust, which supposedly will fund in `perpetuity' a means to preserve and promote traditional pandits in India.
Despite the goals of the BST, the likely malfeasance of such a sum in the hands of the Indian TMO will make it very difficult to create the BST endowment. Along those lines, I have sense that the default mechanism that skimmed 40% of revenues for `International ' is broken, or soon will be. Not a moment too soon. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "boo_lives" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "sparaig" <LEnglish5@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "claudiouk" <claudiouk@> wrote: > > > > > > Just watching Bevan say leadership taken by surprise by Verma's > > > announcement of new organization for India and attempts to clarify it > > > all plus lots of statements underlining MMY's annointment of Maharaja > > > Nader Ram as the LEADER of his Movement as if to make a special > > > point.
