The MUM/TMO administration obviously feels that it has the basic right to "discipline" human beings who work for the princely sum of $50 per month (with *maybe* another $150 going to their families) to force them to practice TM and do what they're told. They even issued a press release saying that more such "discipline" is planned.
Well, they get room and board as well, and their contract, as far as I know, is to come to the USA and meditate and perform chants/rituals in exchange for room, board, and $200/month. If they're not keeping to the contract, the TM organization is under no obligation to keep them around and pay them. Or do you honestly believe that they should be kept here in the USA even though they aren't fulfilling the terms of their contract? If you DO honestly think that they should be paid to sit around and do nothing at all, when there are likely plenty of people back in India willing to come take their place, I'm quite interested in hearing your reasoning...
