No worries - nothing
like a "harmonious meeting" to clear the air.
Only in Fairfield. Thanks to our public servants
for stepping up to help with the harmony: Jefferson County Sheriff’s
Reserve, the Fairfield Police Department, Iowa State
Patrol, Iowa Department of Transportation
Vehicle Enforcement, Iowa DNR law enforcement, Wapello
County Sheriff’s Office and the Fairfield Fire
Department.

This report is a
disaster for the pundit program. I think the program should
be shut down as it has obviously failed. To my knowledge,
there has never been a riot like this in Fairfield.
It's an acute embarrassment for the movement and
terrible for town-university relations.

This
seems like unusually violent behavior for a group of men who
spend their days reciting the vedic texts and doing yagyas
for world peace. Usually when bad behavior manifests amongst
the TM ranks, the official Movement position is that the
people were not "on the program" not doing the
program correctly - wonder what type of training in yagya
these boys had.

(3/11) UPDATE:
BREAKING NEWS Pundit Campus Under ControlOn March 11, 2014
at 0600 hrs,
the Jefferson
County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by personnel of the
pandit project
on Invincible America Drive to assist the security
personnel as there
was a pandit leader that was being escorted off the
property
and they
were worried that there would be problems. The Jefferson
County
Sheriff’s Office was there only to ensure the safety of
all involved.
Prior to the pandit entering the van to leave the property,
there were
approximately 60 to 70 other pandits that had congregated
in
the area.
These pandits became increasingly agitated and resorted to
throwing
rocks at security and sheriff personnel. The pandit was
loaded in the
van and as the van was leaving the area, a larger group of
pandits ran
towards the front gate area. The van did exit the area and
was not
stopped by the large group. The large group then knocked
down a gate
that adjoins 170th street and started walking
east on 170th Street blocking the whole street.
The sheriff’s personnel attempted to divert the large
group back onto
the pandit complex but were unable to do so. The group then
surrounded
the marked patrol vehicle and threw rocks at the driver,
threw rocks at
the back window breaking the window, they attempted to
break
off the
mirrors, kicked out a back light and were rocking the
vehicle. There
were approximately 70-80 pandits surrounding the vehicle.
The sheriff’s
vehicle was able to back away from the crowd and call for
assistance.
The large group then continued east on 170th
street picking
up rocks and debris and continued to throw these at the
sheriff’s
vehicle. After some time, pandit personnel were able to
stop
the group
about ¼ to ½ of a mile from the property and after some
time were able
to walk them back to the pandit property. Law enforcement
agencies
staged close to the entrance of the property on
170th street
to contain the group if they did come back onto the
roadway.
All units
were able to go back into service at around 1000 hrs.
Assistance was
provided by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Reserve,
Fairfield Police
Department, Iowa State Patrol, Iowa Department of
Transportation Vehicle
Enforcement, Iowa DNR law enforcement, Wapello County
Sheriff’s Office
and the Fairfield Fire Department. No personnel were
injured
during this
incident.
