There are more than tens of thousands of students and pundits in India and you will have no problem with the independent confirmation of that, indeed the problems of the largest private educator in India and the legal disputes over the land assets for future Pundit campuses have been raised in Parliament; as well the extraordinary successes are everyday in the Indian press for all to see as Maharishi Vidya Mandir students are constantly in or at the top of educational competitions all the time. Yes there was some money 'wasted" by Maharishi's way of dealing with the corruption of the permit authorities in India by presenting them with a fait accompli instead of going along with institutionalized bribery, but all kinds of financial safeguards including detailed reporting and close donor supervision of expenditure have been put in place now. The cost of buses meant that there could not be many Yogic Flyers to Monte Alban and indeed it is unlikely one could even rent that many buses on short notice. If there was not this many Tm-Sidhas students now in southern Mexico then the GCWP would be risking their credibility in terms of the Maharishi effect which is now claimed for central and south America. If crime, does not continue to fall quickly and other aspects of society not improve as well you would have every reason to doubt not the number of Yogic Flyers in education, military and industry but the Maharishi Effect itself. The proof is in the pudding and many outside the movement are already starting to comment that the pudding is tasting very sweet, satvic, blissful, peaceful, Heaven on Earth for all, the best Christmas and New Years gift ever, this time in perpetuity. Jai Guru Dev.
