I guess it would depend on how much separation of govt and religion there is in India.

No, that is plenty good. But, when money and assets are involved, I'd be inclined to think the Shank's input would be sort of useless.

Steve, Buck reported that Dr. Nader suggested that the situation with Maharishi's will be taken to the Shankaracharya. And he upheld Maharishi's will as naming Dr. Nader as his heir. Sorry, the Neo archives are very difficult to work with. It was some time ago. But if I can find it I'll pass along.

John, IMO, if anyone can unite the different factions of the TMO, Dr. Nader is that person. He reminds me of that Sanskrit saying: in the vicinity of yoga, hostile tendencies dissipate. And Buck has told us how he resolved the challenge about Maharishi's will.

Share, Thanks for the additional information. King Tony has more credentials than I thought. So, it would appear that MMY chose him for his qualifications and accomplishments. But I would also guess that MMY saw something in his jyotish chart that would give him the support of Nature in administering the TMO. If King Tony has enemies within the organization, who are they and how successful are they in their intrigues? ---In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote: John, Dr. Nader received his MD from American Univ in Beirut where he also studied internal medicine and psychiatry. His PhD from MIT is in Brain and Cognitive Science. He did post doc work in Neurology at Mass Gen Hospital, Harvard Medical School. With all this, he is a very humble person and radiates a full heart.

D Hamilton, I have not met King Tony in person. Based on the videos I've seen of him, he appears to be a devoted follower of MMY. Since he's a Phd, I would guess that he's a very smart guy. Also, it appears that he's generally a nice guy. ---In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote: Junior, You been with the guy? Does his energy field have some shakti with it? Hard to tell because he is evidently not available. You been with him? Or, is he just a Raja?

Does that go beyond an administrator and take a guru to do with the TM teaching in time? -Buck ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: D Hamilton, IMO, Maharishi was saying that Guru Dev is the teacher of the TM Movement. And, King Tony has been designated as the ruler of the TM Movement. His main duty is to spread the teachings based on the wisdom from Guru Dev and the vedic interpretations that MMY has provided for the world. IOW, King Tony does not have to be a guru. He is the administrator of the TM Movement. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: It is an interesting thing that Maharishi in succession planning left no guru behind, but Rajas. There is some mystique of folklore around Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam. Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam [MAR] having been kept by Maharishi incubating spiritually in the basement at Vlodrop, and Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam [MAR] also in Being worth his weight in gold. Is he guru material? Anybody here have a feeling that he is? Just wondering. -Buck In the East to be a real guru it seems you need to be three things: scholarly with chops in traditional texts, knowledgeable about and with spiritual techniques to teach, and then having an elemental shaktipat to help people spiritually with. If with most the three things then you're ascending to real Guru status. If you're really good with all three, then Satguru.
