As I said Carter was watching all these groups at that time. They still are. They killed King JFK RFK Malcom all of these just one person it was a big mistake made them heros martyrs if they did that to Maharishi it would make himinto jesus. They are destroying all that can possibly interfere with the belief that Jesus is Lord.

Given that Amma and Maharishi's 'mission statements' are quite
different in scope, it is difficult if not impossible to compare
their tactics and strategies regarding just about anything. Amma
spreads divine love to relieve suffering, whereas Maharishi has
taken on the task to enlighten the world.
I agree with some of the statements here that Maharishi sometimes
deliberately creates diversions and misperceptions in order to
accomplish his goals. With such a huge mission before him, it no
doubt serves him well for he and his organization to be seen
sometimes as harmless, spiritually-oriented fools.
