It would be neat if it were true.  But it's just a web page,
Lawson.  Two web pages.  *Lots* of charity scams have
put together such "documentation" of "what they've 
accomplished."

Show me real documentation.  Show me an article from
an unbiased Indian newspaper in which the reporter went
to each of these locations and counted the students.  Then
and only then will I believe it.

I'm sorry to appear to be so jaded, but I've watched these
"proclamations of success" for 40 years or so, and almost
*all* of them have been either outright lies or hopeful 
fantasies.  If you can find and post a real followup article
with a non-TM source that indicates that the number of 
schools and that the number of students claimed is 
accurate, I will heartily applaud the effort.

And at the same time, I will STILL condemn the TMO and
Maharishi for taking one of the most easily-learned and
potentially-valuable techniques of meditation off the market
and making it unavailable to all but a privileged few.  The
paradigm is clear, Lawson -- only those who *deserve* to
meditate get to learn to meditate.  You either have to have
enough money to pay the unconsionably high prices, or
you have to be someone whose story or photo or both we 
can use to generate more revenue.  No one else matters.
