The pandit housing was originally outfitted with squat toilets because that's what they use in India. I wonder if they refitted them with western style toilets before making them available to IAA participants.

It was Maharishi’s wish to see Maharishi Vastu living situations provided for everyone, and it’s a delight to us all that that desire is being further fulfilled. The accommodations take the following forms: SINGLE BEDROOM Bathroom shared with one other person. Shared kitchen. $360 per month (including utilities) (1–6 months) $300 per month (including utilities) (6+ months) Daily rate: $22/night per person (first night $50) 2-BEDROOM SUITE (1 person) (recommended) Two bedrooms with a private bath reached via a shared corridor. Shared kitchen. $430 per month (including utilities) (1–6 months) $385 per month (including utilities) (6+ months) Daily rate: $28/night per person (first night $50) 2-BEDROOM SUITE (Couple) (recommended) Two bedrooms with private bath reached via a shared corridor. Shared kitchen. $720 per month per couple (including utilities) (1–6 months) $600 per month per couple (including utilities) (6+ months) Daily rate: $44/night per couple (first night $50) 2-BEDROOM PRIVATE COTTAGE $440 per month (excluding utilities) (12+ months) These comfortable, new accommodations are for participants in the Invincible America Assembly — including two-program-per-day participants. Meditators, who will do a special version of the Assembly program, will also be welcome. http://www.idealifeassembly.com/ There are some great advantages of this new campus: Couples are very welcome. In the past, there has been no couples accommodation for IAA participants on the MUM campus, but we are very pleased to be able to offer it now. Non-participant spouses are also welcome. Long-term options are available. We are excited about the extra-special community feeling on this campus. You will be able to do your daily Assembly program in comfortable program halls on this IAA Northwest Campus. You may travel to the Golden Domes each day if you wish, but participation in the Settle Grant (for those eligible) will also be available just steps away from your room. For now, we will not be providing cooked food on this campus. There will be a store on campus where you can purchase basic foodstuffs, such as rice, dahl, and vegetables, which you may cook for yourself. We think that many participants may prefer this arrangement, due to low costs and special dietary needs. For more information or to arrange to view these new accommodations, you may contact us at: 641-233-7603 or campusmana...@tm.org mailto:campusmana...@tm.org, but please note that you will need to be approved for the Invincible America Assembly (ie., have a current dome badge) before we can accept your reservation. We will be delighted to welcome you to the IAA Northwest Campus and the Invincible America Assembly, where the experiences just keep getting deeper and more glorious. Please apply for the Invincible America Assembly in the usual way at: www.invincibleamerica.org http://www.invincibleamerica.org/.
