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.
Might be amusing to post those to the files section of FFL, for the record.
