Being right there in india is a plus, but being full time in the tmo for so long is a negative for accurate understanding - we've all seen the incredible self-serving spin the tmo puts on events to cast blame on others when it was their own incompetence really at fault. > He told me that some of Maharishi's schools were hijacked by the principals running them. Maharishi's name board was removed, and the schools were literaly stolen. Indian-TMO had to go to the courts to get the culprits evicted and get back control over the schools. > > Once, in late 1970's, my initatior was sitting with Maharishi in Delhi, a guy hijacked Maharishi's school. Maharishi told him on the phone that he will not pay him salary. This guy tells Maharishi to fuck off.!! I wonder how you hijack a school. Were the principals simply doing a little competent independent thinking? Probably there was some financial corruption involved too, though all reports from india that I've gotten is that the nephews are the prime recipients of the corruption. Maybe these hijacking principals were not going along with that. IN short I don't think there are any clear good guys with these schools, but a turf war among competing corrupt gangs. > Maharishi gave an order that every initator be provided with a jeep, and also given pension scheme. As soon as Maharishi left india that order was completly ignored. Pension was deducted from the salaries of initators, but none of the retired or resigned initators have received pension or provident fund till date. We know how MMY gives different instructions to different people - maybe that's involved. MMY giving a jeep to initiators goes against everything we know about how he operates elsewhere. Maybe true but very unusual. I remember living in NOIDA during vedic science course and coming home one night to find pundits burning the tents, protesting not getting paid for some time. > Sometime in the early 1980's, the Indian-TMO began to ignore virtualy every instruction given by Maharishi. It seems any little dissent or independence is promptly squelched in the US - how is india so different? > I think Maharishi last visited india in 1992, He became very sick. He was very badly taken care of. Only Ayurvedic medicines was given to him and Maharishi was about to die.!! > An intelligent brahmachari [forgot name] threw all these Jokers out, and bundled Maharishi into a Plane to Europe, where Maharishi received Allopathic treatment.!! He recovered and two years later, Maharishi and Tony Nader came out with the discovery of the 40 devatas manifested in the Human Physiology.!! He had a heart attack plus kidney failure. Probably the idiots on the scene tried ayurved, though that's not surprising given MMY's statements at the time concerning ayurved vs allopathic. He was eventually taken to Chopra's father, who was still a highly respected practicing cardiologist in new delhi, who stabilized him. Then Deepak (and probably this brahmachari) accompanied him to London for full allopathic treatment - conflicting stories as to whether he received bypass or just angioplasty. > The fact is these Jokers almost killed Maharishi and providence saved him.!! Allopathic medicine saved him, and according to his former personal physician who now lives in DC, MMY has relied exclusively on western medicine, the best money can buy in both Holland and London, since then. > Misappropriation and embezzelment of funds is rampant in Indian-TMO, comparable to corruption in Red-cross or United-Nations. This is definitely the word out of india, pundit donations going all over the place. The question is who is doing the embezzling. We know from the accounts of the personal secretaries involved that in the 70s MMY was taking suitcases of cash out of the US to Europe to Swiss banks, accounts in his name. It's a fair question to ask if this is still going on from India and if MMY's family are involved. > I think sometime in the early 1980's, Maharishi began to lose his grip on his organisation. > > Paramahansa Yogananda handpicked a few people gave them intensive training, made sure they are top quality teachers before authorising them to teach Kriya-yoga. Though if you read the blogs and chat groups of that org. they are dealing with all sorts of scandal and disappointment. The masses can't stand "the Mothers" who are in charge. > Maharishi made the mistake of mass producing too many half-baked initators by the thousands, and in the process lost control over the movement itself.! Look at the employee turn-over in the organisation. In Management principles, if a company has that kind of turnover something is seriously wrong with that company. Yes. > I think in the past 15 years, Exc. Bevan Morris and John Hagelin are calling all the shots in the TMO. They probably take decisions and attribute it to Maharishi. For example Maharishi himself dumped the Natural-Law Party, but these excellencies have not given it up yet. MMY did say to dump NLP, but that was before it was explained to him that the NLP was in debt and needed to continue in existence in order to raise funds to repay the debt. Clearly these guys have a lot of power in the US, but are they in control of any bank accounts? From what I can tell, the nephews are in control of the accounts. I really doubt MMY trusts anyone except Indians to be in control of the money. > King Tony Nader is just a figure head and has very little say in TMO. That seems right to me. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
