Does anyone really know the style in which Girish lives? If MUM goes, I think that means the TMO goes. When this falls apart, it will be most interesting to see how the top people live out their lives - will they have oodles of money squirreled away, or be getting by on very little.? Living in FF or some TM enclave in Vlodrop, or getting far away from it all? For TM teachers, the TMO was incredibly stingy - and I imagine the same goes for their treatment of MUM faculty, too. My guess is that if Bevan is beginning to ring the alarm bells publicly, then he and the other top people are way way ahead of what they are talking about. I bet they have already begun the plan to dismantle things. I have no idea who runs the money and disperses it, or what is left of it. But it would be a really interesting process to watch from the inside. And what about the value of MUM- selling the land and buildings? Wouldn't it be wild if some fundie Christian college bought the place? Honestly, I would be sad to see the place close - at least in its ideal form, the whole idea is a worthy one. It is the center of the organization for TM people. > > > > --- In [email protected], "wayback71" <wayback71@> wrote: > > > > > > I think there is not much money left to support all the things going on: > > India brahmastan buildings, MUM, NYC's Broad Steet building, the Maharishi > > schools, Vlodrop, and salaries or whatever for the top folks all over the > > world.
