See my previous post. > Also, "pampered rich guy" may not be a proper description of him. Ahem. Tony Nader was *LONG* after my time. I never encountered his holy countenance while still a part of the TMO, and only heard of him on forums like this. But what about his lifestyle *since* he was sat on a big fucking scale and given his weight in gold (Yes, lurkers, that really happened) does *NOT* qualify in your mind as being a "pampered rich guy." Whatever else you may think of him because of how Maharishi regarded him, the dude has been able to live a *rather* pampered -- and duplicitous -- life ever since. Onstage, he got to be Rajafuckingram, symbol of the wisdom of silence, the power of bramacharya (celibacy), and the all-powerful Woo Woo of Vedic Invincibility. Offstage, he got to have (presumably, and presumably *all* paid for by the TMO) a nice apartment in Paris in which he kept the wife and children he kept hidden from everyone in the TM movement, including his closest friends. And he got to live there in the kind of style that we have all heard rumors of -- involving having his cooks prepare him seven different meals each night, so that he could peruse them and then reject all but one, Raja-style. I mean, dude. Saudi Sheiks can't get away with this shit. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "marekreavis" <reavismarek@> wrote: > > > > Though Tony Nader isn't identified on these YouTube videos as being "king" > > or "maharaja" he stills comes across as some kind of pampered rich guy, > > maybe a "baron" or a "count" who lives in Luxemborg or some other > > tax-haven-supported, European principality. > > > > His "talk", such as it was, wasn't anything that any of the former teachers > > who post here didn't duplicate scores or hundreds of times during their > > careers as TM initiators.
