Nice that we all can agree on so much here. World Peace is just a matter of money, (to support the group program). Evidently it should be better if we all would support the program more. I feel Maharishi was a modern scientist just looking to fund research. He did some pretty large science

Hey Curtis, That was pretty funny. I think you got him down pretty well. I would say he certainly showed the effects of old age. As to what that says about enlightenment, or his enlightenment, I can say. Really, I don't think it says much. People get old and they get cranky.
