I don't speak any Indian language, but none of
the English reports I have seen (including the links below)
say that Girish has that kind of wealth, only that he is
part of a 12-member committee that has control of that
wealth (12,000 acres).
And of course, if you actually look
at the figures, the estimates of how much the land is worth
is obviously exaggerated: the largest single item is the old
Maharishi Ayurveda complex which now lies in utter
disrepair.
In its
hey-day, it was meant to be The Raj on a grand scale: a
complex of hospitals and hostels with 3200 5-star hotel
rooms meant to provide an absolutely nourishing environment
for those unfortunate people who were deemed
"terminal" by Western medicine but could be saved
due to the miraculous superiority of Ayurvedic
treatments.
When the
masses of terminally ill patients did what Western treatment
said would happened, and died by the thousands, Maharishi
told the TM movement to "walk away" from the halls
of death (or words to that effect) and the complex fell into
complete ruin.
It
ain't worth $1.5 billion and there's no way it will
ever be because it wasn't built as a 5-star *resort* but
as a 5-star *hospital* and there's no way 3200 tourists
at-a-time are going to want to pay 5-star prices to say in
that particular region for any length of time. Without the
promised miracle cures of Ayurveda, it is a completely
worthless venture.

Dunno
anything about Girish Varma except that many people who are
hostile to Maharishi are also hostile to him. The accusation
of rape is interesting because the behavior allegedly lasted
for about 15 years, and involved the wife of his assistant
being invited to accompany her husband on trips so that
Varma would be able to access the room of the husband and
wife whenever he wanted while the husband was doing errands
for Varma.
According to the
wife, this allowed Varma to have sex with her over a period
of 15 years whenever her husband went out. The wife kept her
mouth shut on the threat that her husband and she would lose
their jobs if she said anything. The husband says that he
knew nothing of the arrangement until about a year or so ago
when he was fired, and his wife was fired, thereupon she
confessed the arrangement to him and they went to the
police.
This is India
we are talking about, so I nave no idea how plausible the
scenario is within that culture.
