It contains information that contradicts recent accounts of Maharishi early life and the early movement and shows those accounts to be very superficial and biased . It involves first hand accounts from individuals in India. http://www.amazon.com/The-Maharishis-Himalayas-Elsa-Dragemark/dp/B0024Z55RW http://www.amazon.com/The-Maharishis-Himalayas-Elsa-Dragemark/dp/B0024Z55RW
