Yes, exactly: That is why Maharishi prefers this system, and is not fond of democracy's as we know... To follow the vedic culture, like Maharishi wants, would create, an 'Ideal Society', I believe... However: The increasing polarized Islamic culture seems bent on destructive tendencies to say the least. So, yes, there are 'Enlightened Kings, or Rajas' And yes, there are evil dictators, bent on destruction. Big difference, wouldn't you agree? R.G.
