Don't know about Rhymer, but Maharishi didn't make any public announcements about Robin's enlightenment. It was to an audience of CPs on (I think) an ATR, a comment he made about Robin's own account of what had happened to him a few days previously that everyone present, including Robin, took

Hey Mike, Since I know you like this kind of thing, I'll relate a few stories from the time I was on the first six month course along with Andy Rhymer, Rick Archer and others. In fact, Andy was in my small group, along with some 108's. It was our responsbility to correspond on Maharishi's
