Who paid for their airfare, the room and board, their clothing and education ? If they are let free to roam around they'll soon disappear, smitten by the markedforces, with the result that superadiance will go down. Not to mention that the american authorities hardly will let more Pundits into america. Is that what you want ? Grow up, don't let the fool in you be "shocked". It boils down to the same thing over and over again; to be a follower of Maharishi is not for the fainthearted idealists but for those who are seriously wanting to make sacrifises for growth on a difficult and somewhat lonely path. If you are not willing to do that; jump the ship. I know of groups in your country who are working very hard to make the Pundit-project a failure. Don't be a part of their group Mr !
