Aiee, no. The issue was whether Chopra would sue JAMA and the writer of the article. Two TMO-related organizations were already suing, weren't having much success, and wanted Chopra to join them, but wouldn't pay his legal fees, as I understand it. The article took aim at the TMO in general, but at Chopra in particular, accusing him of dishonesty in submitting his own article to JAMA on Maharishi Ayur-Veda without revealing his financial connections to the TMO (along with his co-authors, Triguna and another big TMO scientific cheese whose name I can't recall at the moment). It was purported to be an expose of the TMO's dirty doings but was in fact a carefully crafted tissue of fractional truths designed to convey an impression contrary to fact. It caused the TMO no end of grief. The writer didn't lie outright, so there wasn't much of a legal case against him, and the suit was eventually dismissed without prejudice. The writer got all kinds of awards for his great courage and dedication to the truth. (This was Andrew Skolnick, whom I mentioned in a different context in another post. Skolnick was a regular participant on alt.m.t some years back, and there's endless analysis of his article and the legal case in the archives if anyone is interested. It's pretty complicated.) Yahoo!

That may or may not have applied to the credit card story. And the sexual harrassement cases at his center in La Jolla. But there were also a number of stories in the local San Diego papers on Chopra's management style and business practices -- sourced from former employees -- that raised eyebrows. Maybe all false.

Deepak rocked!
The credit card incident?
Do tell!
It was just low level, though perhaps understated, humor -- linking
rocked as in rocked his world, with past allegations that
charges for a call girl showed up on Depak's credit card at one
point. The case ( as well as sexual harrassment charges in San
Diego) were settled in court -- though frankly I forget the
details. You can find fuller stories on Trancenet and San Diego
Union if you are truly interested.
Don't know about the sexual harassment case, but the
credit card thing turned out to be untrue; Chopra was
able to document that he was out of the country at the
time the credit card was charged. I'm not sure they
ever figured out who had made the charge, or if it was
even genuine.
In any case, the right-wing Weekly Standard, which had
published the accusation, was forced to recant and,
as I recall, publish an apology.
But there appears to have been a number of call girl charges. Its
implausible he was out of the country for all of them.
Also, minor point, but the posting vs transaction date on the charges
could be used to create true but empty claims of being out of the
country -- that is when it was posted.
http://groups.google.com/group/soc.culture.pakistan/browse_thread/thread/3ef5871e12e5bb9a/d98cf734c3217d9d?lnk=stq=deepak+chopra+credit+card+prostitute+OR+call+girl+source:the_weekly_standardrnum=4hl=en#d98cf734c3217d9d
...His lawyer, Michael Flynn, vehemently denied the
charges. 'Total horse--,' he called them. But it is
hardly Bangert's word against Chopra's lawyer's. She
has produced Chopra's American Express credit-card
vouchers with the imprint of her escort service The
credit card reads, 'Dr. Deepak Chopra Pres. MAPI Inc.'
Chopra was the former president and a consultant to
MAPI [Maharishi Ayurveda Products International] at the
time.
Bangert volunteered to take a lie-detector test, which
we took her up on -- and which she passed, even after
our examiner asked her the same questions four times.
When I inquired whether Chopra would be willing to take
a lie-detector test, his lawyer said, 'You think
Chopra's gonna spend five minutes on this stupid
thing?'
Maybe not, but Flynn, whose in-your-face tactics a
former New York magazine fact-checker described as 'one
of the most unpleasant things I've ever endured,' spent
nearly 30 highly combative minutes on the phone with
me, bandying countercharges, offering a host of
defenses, and providing no documentation for
either
Overall, I asked Flynn to corroborate his assertions
or offer evidence to discredit Judy Bangert 26 times in
the course of our interview Flynn threatened
repeatedly to sue for libel. 'If [Chopra] wants me to
tell you to go jump in the f--ing lake -- print
whatever you want, and then we'll bring a lawsuit to
expose the truth,' was one of his gentler admonitions.
{In a startling coincidence, Mr. Flynn is associated
with well-known cult-fighting lawyer, Ford Greene. Ford
Greene, known for his cases against the Moonies and
others, declined to represent Jonie Flint in her case
against Chopra because of a conflict of interest
through his working relationship with Flynn.}

[FairfieldLife] Re: David Lynch coming to Ann Arbor 9/25
Kelly and I just saw him a few weeks ago at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. We were there helping to teach a course on Sacred Sex (www.artofbeing.com), and Deepak was there teaching a week seminar. I'd worked with him for a few months at MIU-CNL in DC back in 1984-85, and he had asked Maharishi if I could be his main assistant. M chose an Indian couple (Anju and Sushil) instead, which apparently didn't work out well at all. In any case, Deepak recognized me, but did the I'm a celebrity now and you don't have anything to offer me courteous blow-off routine. Understandable, I suppose. But the simplicity and genuine caring that I felt in him back 20 years ago was completely absent.

I believe Deepak's true colors have been illustrated in this and some of the previous posts. But how is it that this kind of fraudulant personality still gets play. I mean you can say that the lesser educated may be fair fodder for the evangelists, but Deepak's audience is the sophisticated, well educated, new agers. Do they not recognize what seems so obvious to me? lurk Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

The TMO created Deepak Chopra. I know. I was there. I helped. Why *did* he leave? I assumed he just got tired of being monetarily bled to death and other similar BS. Chopra was selling his books hand-over-fist due to TMO efforts at publicity. A large portion of Purusha was dedicated full-time to promoting him, not to mention many of us field volunteers who saw his potential as a great PR figurehead if promoted properly. CHopra was making a LOT of money off the TMO but bowed out as his fame grew to the point where he no longer needed TMO backing to sell his stuff. He also started pocketing his lecturer's fees, rather than donating them to the Maharishi Ayurveda Foundation. He went on later to get authorized by one of the Shanks I'd heard... The successor to Swami Vasudevananda whom everyone on this forum feels is a non-entity. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

Hari Sharma. CHopra and Hari really should have known better. Hari had gotten a million dollar long-term grant from MAF around that timeto do research and it was very shady (in a who-gives-a-f-ck- anyway? sort of way) to fail to mention that. Fortunately for Hari, Skolnick didn't realize the time-frame for getting the grant. I didn't find out til years later, and Hari couldn't answer the timeframe question without referring to his notes when I asked him about it. Yeah, I still wonder if there was some element of a set-up or sting on JAMA's part. I wonder whether JAMA may have known much of what it subsequently reported as having discovered after the fact, and deliberately misled Chopra et al. about what was required in the declaration; or at least knew when it received the declaration that it wasn't complete, and instead of sending it back for the authors to fix, or bagging their article entirely, accepted the declaration and went ahead and published the article knowing it was going to cry foul and smear the authors and the TMO. The embarrassment to JAMA for having been hoodwinked was far outweighed by the plaudits it--and especially Skolnick--received for exposing the purported malefactors. Not to exonerate Chopra and Sharma, but I think there was some cooperation from JAMA. I'd love to get Chopra drunk sometime and ask him point- blank exactly what went on. Yahoo!
