Yes, I remember when Maharishi used to come to Fairfield, everything would change; the whole enviornment would adjust/shift. To have someone in the area, in Brahman Consciousness is quite something; being in his presence being the most powerful. Then I remember, when Reagan and the Pope were shot, and in those years, he seemed to be not interested in coming here, anymore... I heard he thought it too violent here, to rude. He also was treated very badly on the "Dick Cavette Show" on maybe his last visit here to the U.S. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
