Thank you for your responses. The information and insights that you provide are helpful.
Regarding the administration's areas of concerns, such as non-MV Yagyas, I assume these are present tense concerns -- and not concerns for some minor things in the past. I understand the admin concerns if an applicant is currently sponsoring yagyas, or actively practicing or promoting some other self-development methods. However, I assume that it is not an issue if one is not currently (nor for many years) involved with any other program or practices. For example, if this is the policy, then some type of limited yagya sponsorship 20 years ago would be irrelevant to participating in ILC and/or Dome programs. I know you don't speak for the course administration, but any insights that you may have on the experience of contemporary IAA and ILC applicants would be helpful. I do notice that the ILC application appears distinctly gentle and considerate. I assume this reflects a newer, kinder and mature approach compared to some more rigid admin guidelines and policies that may have existed in the past. For example, the application asks, "Please let us know the names of the two TM Teachers you are most well known to, so we can give one or both of them a call. ... This is not a compulsory question. If you don't know two TM Teachers, that's okay. ..." Thanks.
