Not dishonest, just busy with life. Thanks for the summary.:-) Below is what I wrote to you.

I have no idea where the money goes. As I've mentioned before, the Movement makes a big deal of being rich, though there is always an air of shabbiness around it. Yes, the Movement has changed, and Maharishi has changed what he has said about the direction of it, and his intentions for it. This is decidedly different from the way all of the major religions operate, because with dogma we get certainty. And with dogma it is easy to keep saying the same things over and over again, as if they mean something. People like that. Except that it doesn't lead to enlightenment. Only a path that is dynamic, breaks boundaries, and is headed by a supremely enlightened teacher has a hope of leading its followers to a result of supreme glory, fulfillment and the ever changing, ever fulfilling Reality of Brahman, and that path is Maharishi's path for us. As the bumper sticker says, "lead, follow, or get out of the way". Thank you for asking my opinion of these things. Sorry it took so long to get back to the meat of the issues-- my bad. Jai Guru Dev. Om Shiva.:-)
