-------Actually Maharishi started it when he said HHDL was 'just a
politician.' This has influenced lots of TM people against

I always found that rather odd, and I as I grew older, it was clear it
was just a projection (and probably a good bit of jealousy)...from a
businessman, a dishonest one to boot. Certain not a yogi, but a
bhogi...very much attached till the very end, as he lived out his last
daze, mumbling over video from his Howard-Hughes-in-a custom-made-
sthapatya-ved palace bubble, afraid to even meet anyone, whining to
his few remaining students to rip the electrical wires out of the
wall. He died like a true bhogi.
