A same scholarly tragedy as the Charlie Lutes Spiritual Regeneration Movement
(SRM) collection. That the Jarvis collection is just to end up somewhere like
in a basement at MUM and not at a real collections library.
Would the 'trust' of the MUM Trustees secure that scholars coming along could
look freely at what is left of their holding of the Jarvis collection? Could
one trust Bevan and Neil with the Jarvis collection? Manifestly, no.
No, send what has not been picked over, cherry picked, to a real library like
that at UC Santa Barbara University Library. Stop right now and ship it there.
Send your donation money there to accession the collection where it came be
freely and openly found.

Within a couple of years of this 1975 report, Jerry and others were out as
that epoch ended in a great leap forward with ‘teams of four’ sent out usurping
what was a then honed teaching organization. Thence in metrics TM in the
1980’s and 1990’s under a Morris-Patterson era of administration effectively
disappeared from popular culture. By y-2006 initiations in the USA were running
less than 200 per month and most assets of the teaching movement had been sold
off. From 2006 others have struggled with what was in place to re-inflate
something that was TM. Jai Guru Dev.

In Honor of Our Dear Jerry Jarvis
Dear Governors,
It is with heartfelt love and fondest memories that we announce the sudden
passing of dear Jerry Jarvis on Wednesday afternoon, at his Malibu home. In
honor of Jerry and in lieu of flowers, we are pleased to announce a special
fund to support Debby, his loving, devoted wife.
September 1961
In September of 1961, Jerry and Debby were instructed by Maharishi, and, after
their first experience of the Transcendent, knew that the direction of their
lives was forever transformed. They immediately began to study and work with
Maharishi, helping him to create and grow the U.S. and international TM®
organizations.
Science of Being and Art of Living
Jerry and Debby went on to become TM teachers in 1966 in Rishikesh, India. Both
former journalists for the Congressional Quarterly, they later helped to
transcribe and edit Maharishi’s Science of Being and Art of Living and his
translation and commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita. Over the next decade and a
half, Jerry rose to become the national leader of the TM organization in the
U.S., and was instrumental in developing over 400 TM Centers, which brought the
TM technique to more than one million Americans.
Maharishi’s quest to spiritually regenerate the world
The story of Maharishi’s worldwide movement is the cosmic, eternal story of the
unfoldment of pure knowledge. And there is perhaps no part of this
ever-evolving story that is more beloved than the early days, when Maharishi
first set out alone on his worldwide quest to spiritually regenerate the world.
It was Jerry’s extraordinary heart and naturally wise and mature guidance that
played such a vital role in shepherding the many newly trained, youthful TM
teachers at this early stage of Maharishi’s quickly growing organization.
Our precious times with Jerry, his ever-present, bright, shining face, and the
many wondrous, heartfelt stories, life-lessons, and beautiful examples of
purity and devotion will always be a cherished part of our TM organization’s
history.
Archives and special manuscripts of Maharishi that were donated by Jerry and
Debby will become an invaluable treasure at MUM. Once these materials are
sorted and curated, they will be available to Meditators, Sidhas, and Governors
everywhere.
A passion for Maharishi’s knowledge
In addition to his enduring love for Debby, there was nothing that Jerry felt
more passionate about than Maharishi’s knowledge. His commitment to Pure
Knowledge took several forms: from personal study and scholarly research, to
Advanced Lectures on Maharishi Vedic Science, and his transformational courses
on Maharishi’s translation and commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita, which he shared
with so many over the decades.
A very special memorial service for Jerry is being organized in California for
early April. We hope that many will also be able to connect online. (Details to
come.)
We send our deepest love and appreciation to his beloved Debby, who has been
such a source of nourishment and wisdom for Jerry and all of us for more than
50 years.
Jai Guru Dev
