The managerial skills of the TMO never stop amazing me! I seriously think, since Bevan et al had the nerve to come up with that cover story about the pundits' mamas not wanting them to travel (when in fact the pundits could not get visas because of poverty, a belated recognition that could easily have been avoided by trying to get a few visas before building the trailer park), that a transitional story is being floated about 200 pundits coming to Vedic City. Once people are comfortable with the 200 figure, then some new excuse will come up for the pundits not coming -- maybe they're needed more in Lebanon or something, then the 200 Purusha can be slipped in after conditioning the TM community to lowered expectations. Because the TMO is rehabbing 100+ Livingston Manor, despite its poor vastu, which can only be a home (again) for the ~100 Mother Divine, it looks like they are trying to do everything on the cheap, which means that it seems unlikely that they are really going to build in Santa Cruz Ca, which would be a very costly effort -- I'm taking bets now that Purusha will come to Vedic City before their kick-out date of Feb 2006 from Boone, and it might even be possible to work something out with Jefferson County so that they do not have to pay property taxes like they did in North Carolina.

That might be the case, or at least the spin, who knows? Undoubtedly, quite a few of the Purusha guys have been studying Sanskrit, and it might be possible that they could get them to do Vedic recitation -- after all, Mother Divine ladies are putting out CDs of songs in Sanskrit, so some kind of Vedic performances might be possible by Purusha. Certainly, the donors to the Vedic City pundit project would actually like to see some pundits there, so if the pundits in India can't come here, maybe some or all of the Purusha leaving Boone could be converted into pundits.

Sal MUM has had their regular Indian students turned down for visas before, but after a lot of jawing with consular officials at US embassies in India, their acceptance rate went way up: http://www.mum.edu/TheReview/02-03/1-22-03.html#3 However, the pundits do not speak English, and they also are uneducated (the two go together, since English is the language of instruction there http://www.panjab.org.uk/english/engenctr.htm ), in addition to being very poor -- these are factors which would not encourage consular officials to overlook the pundits' poverty (the thinking being that really poor people won't leave the USA after their visas expire). So it was unrealistic to think that there would be no problem with pundit visas -- they could have avoided the problem by trying to get 25-50 visas before they started to build, and then see if the project was feasible. Maybe, out of the 200,000 pundits in training in India, they have been able to mine 200 middle- class pundits, but it's looking doubtful the more time passes.

That would, of course, have been the common sense solution. But learning from past mistakes has never seemed to be part of the program.
