That's neat. The only "TM movie location" I've ever been in was a castle-like retreat house in Toronto in which I taught numerous residence courses. It was used as Guru Pitka's headquarters in Mike Myers' "The Love Guru." However, another "TM hotel" almost was used in a movie. On my six-month Sidhis course in St. Moritz, a "location scout" came to look around the hotel we were staying in to see if it would be an appropriate set for an upcoming movie. The movie? Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining." How appropriate would that have been, eh? :-)
