 Raja Wynne said that it was a great joy to be back in Maharishi Vedic 
 City where there are now 632 Vedic Pandits, including the 85 that 
 arrived recently. Snip.

I want to hear what the pandits are saying in their letters home. Do
they like living in Vedic City? I think they're homesick before the
plane leaves India airspace, and an Iowa winter or two will send them
packing. Plus, who is there to order them to go to America now with
Maharishi gone? The image that comes to mind when I think of them
playing volleyball, which I've read here in FFL that they're fond of,
is the American interment of the Japanese-Americans during WWII. Do
Vedic Pandits have wives and kids, and, if so, are the families united
in Fairfield? Contrast the pandits with another expatriate group: the
American Purusha in Uttar Kashi. For the Purusha, retirement in Uttar
Kashi is the holy grail of Purusha life. For the Vedic Pandits, their
motivation is questionable. Were they ordered to go to Iowa? Do they
go so that they, like Guatamalans and El Salvadorans working in
America, can send money home? Do the Pandits want to stay in Iowa? Has
anyone gotten any feedback from them on their expatriate experience?

[FairfieldLife] Reply to message 168783--Solar Thermal Power

[jymbonic]

I was happy to read the article your message linked to, espcially the
part that said that on a sunny day, a few of the solar thermal plants
can create as much energy as a few nuclear power plants. I think one
of Maharishi's gretest observations was that through the window of
science we see the dawn of the age of enlightenment. I'm not sure TM
has anything to do with the technological progress we, the family of
man, are making, but science, I think, is on the brink of
breakthroughs that will transform human life. Two especially that come
to mind, and your post about one of them inspired me to post, are
energy and desalination. Science is in a positive feedback loop--the
more progress it makes, the more progress it is able to make because
part of its progress is improving the tools for making progress. I
can't help but think that science is on the brink of discovering how
to supply humanity with all the energy it can use in a way that
doesn't harm the environment. That discovery will transform human
life. Maybe one immediate benefit will be to make desalination of sea
water economically feasible, if the energy component of the current
cost of the process makes it prohibitively expensive. And that would
transform human life too.

One thing that I got from the TMO that I still do is asanas--surya
namaskar and the advanced set of asanas I was taught at a course. I
spend more time doing the yoga than I spend meditating. I also lift
weights moderately--for tone rather than for getting bulky, and
bicycle. I feel pretty good physically.

He was a jolly guy who I hadn't thought of in years. RIP indeed Scotty.
