As I've said before the TMO including MUM has always struck me as nearly povery ridden. The problem is that they feel they are not accountable to their benefactors. I feel incalculable gratitude for Maharishi's knowledge and could not really put a price tag on it. Having said that, I give almost nothing to the Movement, because of this "however we spend it is the best way, and no, we don't have to tell you how because we are saving the world" attitude. Or more precisely, when they pretend not to have the described attitude and it leaks out anyway. I would feel better if they just said, "we need money again for continued operations" and left it at that.
