Whoa, who knows these things? That Maharishi got run out of India.
That Maharishi, Bevan and Greg cried like babies as it happened.  
Obviously, Maharishi is in a 'safe' place, has not moved since and
likely is not going home to India to die.  Who saw the ejection
happen?  Slow down and give some annotation. Names and places of who
might have seen what when.  It possibly could explain a lot.

Here are some points from a recent conversation with a friend who is in a position to know:

  • Ever since Maharishi slighted Indira Gandhi by not standing when she entered the room (as everyone else did) and as I heard first heard the story, actually walking out of the room, the Indian government has given the TMO a very hard time.
  • The press reports (coldblueiceman can provide a link) about the riots in the pundit facilities are true, according to Girish Varma (http://www.tmbulletin.net/images/varma01.jpg). There have been three such riots, each resulting in deaths. Some deaths were due to pundit boys escaping from the compound and trying to make long journeys home with no money or help (we’re talking 12-year old boys).
  • The riots were due to the fact that the boys were underfed and mistreated, largely because administrators were pocketing most of the money allocated for their support. There may also have been outside government-backed rabble rousers.
  • The total number of Maharishi pundits in India is probably around 5,000 (optimistic estimate), and these are poorly trained.
  • Because the large pundit groups weren’t working out, Maharishi decided to have many smaller groups, with about 1,000 pundits in each. But these too fell prey to corruption and embezzlement, so the “pundits” aren’t really receiving any genuine training.
  • Despite these failures, the Indian TMO is still fabulously wealthy, primarily as a result of real estate deals. The TMO is the 2nd largest land holder in India, after the Indian Government. The TMO is also the largest importer of foreign donations, but this is mostly used to finance its business enterprises, and few stated spiritual goals are achieved.
