With that in mind - I think the house should have been worthy millions of Dollars - . So where did all the money go? Ingegerd The house and ashram would have been built and completed before the Beatles era began. Initiation's were few, teacher training courses small, and fees very small and not always collected back then. The movement was not worth millions before the Beatles came along. Also the Movement did have to lease the land from the Indian government because it was built in a national forest. I have no idea what the cost of the lease was but I hear it has since expired and never renewed. I wish I had a photo of the place. M's house was a small bungalow, maybe 1600 square ft. far from a mansion and nothing like what he lives in today. I think in one of my earlier posts I may have said 16000 square feet, if I did, I meant 1600. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
