As I think I've mentioned before here, I doubt he's ever really read anything of the literature of Scientology or any other spiritual tradition. But Maharishi had a strong core follower in the early days of the movement who had been L. Ron Hubbard's personal secretary for many, many years, and she probably told him a few things about Hubbard. I remember at Squaw Valley 1968 she mentioned her personal feelings that Hubbard was probably the most brilliant man she had ever met, but was at the same time (in her exact word) "certifiable." She felt that he had a streak of paranoia that influenced everything he ever did or wrote.
