Did ned state this in his book? It just doesn't ring true to me. On one course Ned was the doorman and he got me two different 5-min private meetings with M. -- for pretty small things. Ned was around him 24/7 ish. That he never spent 5 min alone with M doesn't fit my perception of how things were in those days. Regardless, did I mention he was around M 24 /7? > > So, I'd say that nobody in the TM Movement > really knew the Maharishi and less so, > Tony Nader, except maybe Nandakishore. Thats funny -- most people just have to close their eyes to know M. And hopefully, after 50 years of practice, you don't need to always close your eyes to Be There. > So, it's no surprise that Tony was absent > from the movement for eight years.
