(Detail, details, details...) In thinking back more, I recall that Cavett said to Maharishi, after asking him to levitate for him, and Maharishi refused, he said: "You mean you can't levitate, or you won't meditate, which is it?". Whereas, Maharishi responded by saying he was here to teach the thing, not to levitate himself... Then Cavett asked again: "Does that mean you can't levitate, yourself?" Whereas Maharishi avoided the question, and Cavett was remarking how rested Maharishi appeared having just flown in to New York, from Japan, and began adjusting the mic which was clipped to Maharishi's Dhoti, and it became rather annoying to see Cavett manhandling Maharishi, with his mic and everything. I don't think MMY appeared again on any American TV show...after the Cavett experience... R.G. ------------------------ Yahoo!
