Those are all the details I have, I'm afraid. But they were recounted to me by someone who was there. They taught hundreds of people every day in those big drives. One came in, a quick puja and mantra later then the next one, sun up, until sun down! Makes me wonder if they count towards the 5,000,000 who are supposed to have learnt TM, because my friend said it obviously wasn't an ideal teaching situation and the chances of getting a follow up to see if they were doing it right (or at all) were pretty darn slim. But orders is orders and then someone ran off with the money anyway! One wonders whether Maharishi commissioned a "hit yagya" in retribution. :-) Imagine the hushed talk of incoming karma round the dinner table that night, must have been terrifying. And I wonder who got to tell Marshy, someone with thick skin I should think! And, y'know, my joke about the "hit yagya" might not be that far off. After all, isn't one of the rumored reasons why Jerry Jarvis fell from favor and was eventually booted out of the TM movement because he dared to pay the legal team that had lost the New Jersey TM court case? According to the rumors, Maharishi had told him directly not to pay them, and he did it anyway.
