I somehow missed that part of your post Barry - thanks for putting it up again - it answered my questions on the Hitler praise by Maha - it strikes me as pretty much what M always did - praising any group or country to their faces to curry favor with them - as to the callousness of the remarks he may have made and his praise of Hitler's achievements it is indicative of the fact that he didn't give much of a damn about people unless they were praising him and giving him money - given his obvious self admiration it does not surprise me in the least that he admired Hitler who was a hell of a practitioner of self aggrandizing

Other than posting the original incendiary article about India, it's the latter. :-) I do *not* remember any "brouhaha," any more than occurred after any of his other crazy pronouncements. The sheep just lapped it up and bleated pranams. But I definitely heard him more than once use the phrase that Raja Emmanuel parroted in the DWTF movie, "Hitler failed to achieve it [his lofty goals] for lack of the right technique" [meaning, of course, TM]. I heard Maharishi use variants of this phrase many times. Where else do you think the Raja in question *got* it? It's not as if these people have a rep for being able to think on their own; they paid a million dollars each for a Burger King crown, ferchrissakes. What I'm wondering about is why no one has dared to touch the FFL post I also included a link to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/8815 That's a post from L.B. Shriver, back in the real Old Days of FFL (2003), following up on a post from Rick, relaying stories told to him by a Jewish TMer, a former Purusha and International Staff member. Some of those stories -- for example German members of Purusha wearing swastikas under their ties and celebrating Hitler's birthday -- are gangbusters. Real tabloid shit. I thought that would be right up Current FFL's soap opera alley...
