Subject: [FairfieldLife] What were the lawsuits against MMY?
I have heard in a variety of places including this forum that
Maharishi could not enter the US and India after a certan point
because if he did he would have been served with legal papers.
Does anyone know the details of these cases and why he would have
been served?
Robin Carlson had a suit against him. I don't know what the issue
was. Probably he was trying to get MMY to proclaim under oath that
Robin was enlightened. During the NJ "TM in the Schools" court
case, the plaintiffs tried to get people as high as possible in the
TMO into court. We set up a big event at which Domash was supposed
to speak, but at the last minute Movement lawyers wouldn't let him,
for fear he could be subpoenaed. So John Gray made a fool of
himself trying to talk impromptu about physics for nearly an hour.
When MMY visited MIU during the Taste of Utopia course, the sheriff
was at the frat he was staying in, trying to subpoena him. Lenny
Goldman successfully fended him off.
I have copies of the one Robin Carlsen case. It was a half dozen or
so MIU students who were suing the TMO for throwing them out because
of their affiliation with RWC. There was also a case where they
forced MMY to make a public declaration regarding RWC's
enlightenment. I believe I also have some materials relating to this
case, including the large insert RWC had placed in the Fairfield
Ledger and some letters.
