John was busted by MMY (along with the Leon and David Weiner) for organizing the Governors' Training Course in Interlaken to do a puja to Maharishi when he walked into the hall. Maharishi twisted around on his couch and looked at Guru Dev's picture during the whole thing. Maharishi never visited that course after that evening, and for years John wasn't allowed on courses. But he was allowed to teach, and he continued teaching full time. He told me that he was grateful for that punishment, for it kept him teaching rather than going on Purusha. He is now fully redeemed in the TMO for what it's worth, and it's obviously worth a lot to him. So hail Raja John Black!
