No, but Mahesh is incredibly narcissistic: his name on everything, more and more things. The mind does, as he so cunningly informed us, go in the direction of more and more. Check the PDF Stripping the Gurus in the MishMash Effect I posted in the TMO the Odd Side Files. > It was in Free Inquiry in the late 80's.

I still have the photos of me dressed up like the various personages in the "holy tradition". Hari, Mahesh's cook, helped me do the sari type drapery. I did it for Susan Shumsky who was going to make a painting of the HT for Mahesh. She was an accomplished watercolourist. Hers is certainly NOT the painting we see behind Mahesh in Vlodrop. > Your point about the money is well taken.

I think that's part of the joke: testing the limits, pushing the envelope. How he does it is part of the theroy I am trying to work out The TM Effect. You see smidgens of it in Beacon Light. He must have been very familiar with the dissociative effects of japa because he talked about it at my TTC. He said the mind just gets exhausted and drops into the transcendent. Bullshit. It's what he later discovered he could do with rounding: you experienced so much daydreaming/dissociative separation from yourself (to be redundant about the whole thing) that you'd accept anything as truth, gospel, prime directive if he said it. The Beatle who said "... you're so cosmic" certainly was onto something. Just like Mahesh said again and again at my TTC: the actor can play god better than god. -- He could do the cosmic thing like nobody's business and it feathered his nest, ripped off the faithful, sent many into debt out of which they will never get. All for what?
