just a matter of time until homophobic parents start

 Although personally (except for maybe 30 years ago when he just seemed
 like an overworked nice guy) I am not fond of Bevan, an astute
 recruiter would find these facts out about Bevan and be able to place
 him according to these facst, all fo which are true. 
  
 
 1)
 He has helped run, if not being nearly totally in charge-Executive
 Management--of a global organization with 100+ national leaders (or
 however many there are) then state/time-zone/regional directors and
 teachers at local levels (what would this amount to-having 20-30,000
 people under you). And he has done this for nearly 30 years. 
 
 2)
 Been president of a university with all the responsibilities that go
 along with it.
 
 3)
 Organized, orchestrated, hosted International and National Conferences
 all over the world, many of which have been attended by the top
 thinkers of our time in nearly all areas of concern.
 
 4)
 Made umpteen decisions, most of which we probably know absolutely
 nothing about, that affected the *bottom line*-probably decisions
 totalling in the billions of dollars.
 
 These are no small things and someone who deals with the upper upper
 echelon of people in the corporate world would be amazed to see the
 accomplishments of this person called Bevan who so many here like to
 put down for various reasons. I don't like him and his way of doing
 things, but I stand in awe of just how capable he is and for how many
 years he has constently functioned at this level.

I worked with corporate executives and couldn't disagree more.  I
can't begin to see Bevan functioning outside the unique movt envt, esp
at this point when he comes across as so imbalanced.  I can't imagine
bringing bevan in to try to talk executives into starting tm, or bevan
successfully running an organization.

Bevan never ran the university on a day to day practical level.  He's
hardly been there the past 20 yrs, except periodically to fire people
not deemed loyal and generally keep up the fear and cult atmosphere. 
Before his leadership the university was an intellectually and
spiritually exciting place.  It's been in decline ever since.  

Getting purusha to take out student loans in the 80s saved the place
financially then, and whoever came up with the idea of importing
african students as a way for them to visas as computer programmers is
keeping it afloat now.  Of course donations still come in for building
projects because that gets points with MMY, not because of bevan.  No
way it could survive by attracting and keeping normal western
students, the atmosphere is just too culty and the academics too weak,
that's all bevan's doing.

What specific project has bevan ever led that has been successful?  In
reality I mean, not in fancy talks and brochures, or in tmo press
releases or internal conferences.  My experience in the tmo was that
things got accomplished by the talented and devoted foot soldiers
despite the efforts of people like bevan, not due to them.

  He has a brilliant mind and is an articulate public speaker, if you

  firing people who express any tendency to think independently.
 Perhaps he
  thinks he¹s ³in tune with Maharishi¹s thinking² in that respect.

 One of the theories given for this on the show is (and I hope I am 
 representing this correctly) is that the XY chromosome which is
 what distinguishes a male from a female (women are XX) is 
 a foreign substance to a woman when she is carrying a male child 
 in her womb.
  
 As a result, her body secretes a kind of antibody to counter-act 
 this foreign substance each time she carries a male child and, over 
 time, this builds up.  And this antibody will diminish 
 the maleness of the XY and increase the feminine qualities of the 
 male child.

I'm a bit skeptical of this as stated, depending on
what is meant by feminine qualities.  Sounds as
though this theory is based on a stereotype of gay
men.  Many of them aren't the least bit feminine
except in that they find other men more sexually
attractive than they do women.

How would you measure scientifically the degree of
feminine qualities in a male?  If it's just a matter
of outward appearance and how well it conforms to
social notions of what is masculine and what is
feminine, a lot of gay men wouldn't fit the theory
at all.

And how would you account for lesbians, among whom
there is also a range from masculine-appearing to
feminine-appearing?

True, we'll never know. 

But here's a question for Shemp. Remember when Bevan

weeks and made a few pronouncements about why Maharishi
never deigned to visit the course.)

Since the subject has come up about the way people

Mark,
This is so true.  When I got my MA there in the early 90s, the one and only time we ever saw Bevan was at graduation, when he flew in just in time to hand out diplomas.  As you say, he has little real idea of how to accomplish the day-to-day things that any good administrator needs to make to keep things running, and very few managerial skills that would enable such a large number of people to work together to keep the place going.  If it hadn't been for the constant bailouts year after year he'd have been out of a job long ago.  What he has contributed is not clear, but it sure isn't anything obvious or practical. The school has long been like a rudderless ship.

He's
 hardly been there the past 20 yrs, except periodically to fire people
 not deemed loyal and generally keep up the fear and cult atmosphere. 
 Before his leadership the university was an intellectually and

Tom has been openly gay for a number of years, with the same partner for a

When I was at MIU from 74 to 78 there were several

the MIU administration. But this was back in the
normal days of the TMO and MIU before the demons

 Late 70s?  That's surprising.  I hadn't heard of any gay purges
 pre-bevan rule.  

I was too clueless to pick up any gay presence at MIU, 
so it came as a shock one morning when some anonymous 
contingent of gay students taped posters to the doors of 
all the dormitories. (My memory is extremely hazy about 
all this, so I welcome corrections.)

Anyway, the 8-1/2 x 11 handwritten, photocopied papers 
said, basically, We're tired of being in the closet and 
demand recognition. 

I can tell you, the whole thing made me extremely 
uncomfortable at the time, and I wasn't alone. (I had 
the usual hetero ick factor response that's come up 
in this forum.) But to make matters worse, the posters 
appeared on the day the North Central Accreditation 
Review Board was coming to campus. (Maybe this was 
the spring of 1980, because the school got accredited 
just before I graduated.) It was as if the gays were crying 
out to the wider world, We're in prison here. Help! I could 
not understand it in the least.

I seem to recall, after the whole affair blew over, Bevan 
said something to the effect that that these people were 
trying to undermine our accreditation efforts and sabotage 
the image of the school before the wider world.

You have to understand, we were *all about* proselytizing, 
hence the coats and ties. Anything that distracted from 
that clean-cut, mainstream image was strictly off the 
program. So this gay rights plea on the day the school 
was to be inspected by the outside academic world seemed 
like an averted catastrophe. (The posters were taken down 
right away, of course.)

I don't know what the status of gays is in the TMO today.

Forget the gay thing...what you have just described

One -- pretense and hiding its normality in the 
closet, followed by panic, paranoia and persecuation 
when the closet door is thrown open and all-too-
normal interiors of the closet are revealed. 

It doesn't matter whether the pretense was about TM
having so negative side effects, or about TM marriages
never failing, or about no one in TM communities ever
committing suicide or seeing shrinks, or about every-
body being straight. 

Whatever the specifics were, the bottom line was always
the same -- pretense. Pretending that the actuality of 
the life of a TMer conformed to Maharishi's claims of 
what the life of a TMer should be. And woe be unto him 
who pulls back the curtain on that pretense and reveals
it for what it is.

   I was better friends with his brother, Tom.  Any idea what's 
up with 
  him?
 
 
 Tommy Roth is gay and lives in San Francisco. He left Purusha many
 years ago to *come out*-saw a Jyotishi to find out the best time to
 *come out* and somehow-I guess because he comes from the famous 
Roth
 family, it's okay for him to be gay and recertified. 
 
 He runs a very successful gay travel agency right on Castro Street 
in
 San Francisco In addition, he has stimulated quite a bit of TM 
related
 activity in SF as well. 

Yea, it looks like he's successful.  Funny, he never seemed like he 
was too business minded.  Did you say was recertified?  I thought a 
qualification was full time - laddy da, laddy da.

lurk
 
 Here's some links to his companies
 http://www.gaytravelnews.com/
 http://www.communitymarketinginc.com/tagaccommodations.cfm
 
 Here's a quote by him from a different website:
 
 Tom Roth, president of Community Marketing, notes, Gays and 
lesbians
 tend to have more discretionary income, as very few have the 
expenses
 of child-rearing.
 
 But Roth also says that vacations offer a different kind of escape 
for
 homosexuals.
 
 There's often a need to get away, to be in an environment where 
you
 feel comfortable being open about your sexuality, he says.

hence the coats and ties. Anything that distracted from 
that clean-cut, mainstream image was strictly off the

SIMS is eternal, part of the Ved.:)

I was thinking Squaw Valley 68, which you said you were there. It was
not exactly a conformist camp.

And pre 1970 the Berkeley Center -- while generally dignified, had
some deifinte color. No one was turned away for lackof funds: you
can't afford the $35, ok what can you pay?/. And things like, I
remember one morning, Nat Goldhaber wandered down to the front desk,
as a day of initiations was begining (he lived there) in his
underwear, with cowboy boots on, yelling about this or that.


Even first year mallorca was a bit loose. No ties, could grow breards.
etc. I was shocked when I went to Fuiggi for rounding. Ties required,
much more straight-laced.




  And I know a number of people who just did TM and remained 
  quite counter-culture, counter-pretense.
 
 I'm sure there were many. But they didn't work 
 within the TM movement. I'm talking about what 
 it was like in the centers and the TM communities.

[...]
 Bevan never ran the university on a day to day practical level.  


Exactly the opposite of Rick's claim that he micromanages.

He's
 hardly been there the past 20 yrs, except periodically to fire 
people
 not deemed loyal and generally keep up the fear and cult 
atmosphere. 

Rick says he's in constant contact, but he agrees with you about the 
fearthing.

 Before his leadership the university was an intellectually and
 spiritually exciting place.  It's been in decline ever since.  
 

SIgh. MIU was founded in 1971 and moved to Fairfieldin 1974. It 
gained accreditation candadacy in 1975, and was fully accredited the 
year Bevan moved to Fairfield as its President in 1980.

In other words, Bevan has been its President since it offered 
accredited degree programs (since its been a real university).


 Getting purusha to take out student loans in the 80s saved the place
 financially then, and whoever came up with the idea of importing
 african students as a way for them to visas as computer programmers 
is
 keeping it afloat now.  Of course donations still come in for 
building
 projects because that gets points with MMY, not because of bevan.  

What does that have to do with running the university?

No
 way it could survive by attracting and keeping normal western
 students, the atmosphere is just too culty and the academics too 
weak,
 that's all bevan's doing.

Why do you consider the academics weak?

 
 What specific project has bevan ever led that has been successful? 

Other than MUM for the past 25+ years, you mean?

 In
 reality I mean, not in fancy talks and brochures, or in tmo press
 releases or internal conferences.  My experience in the tmo was that
 things got accomplished by the talented and devoted foot soldiers
 despite the efforts of people like bevan, not due to them.
 

That might be the case, but given how inaccurate your implicit 
history of MUM has been, I'd take your concusions with a few tons of 
rocksalt.

   I had some a friend who was about half way through his Masters 
degree
   at MIU who got kicked off the program and off campus when 
someone made
   it a point to let the administration know he was gay. This was 
in the
   late 70s.
  
  Late 70s?  That's surprising.  I hadn't heard of any gay purges
  pre-bevan rule.  
 
 I was too clueless to pick up any gay presence at MIU, 
 so it came as a shock one morning when some anonymous 
 contingent of gay students taped posters to the doors of 
 all the dormitories. (My memory is extremely hazy about 
 all this, so I welcome corrections.)
 
 Anyway, the 8-1/2 x 11 handwritten, photocopied papers 
 said, basically, We're tired of being in the closet and 
 demand recognition. 
 
 I can tell you, the whole thing made me extremely 
 uncomfortable at the time, and I wasn't alone. (I had 
 the usual hetero ick factor response that's come up 
 in this forum.) But to make matters worse, the posters 
 appeared on the day the North Central Accreditation 
 Review Board was coming to campus. (Maybe this was 
 the spring of 1980, because the school got accredited 
 just before I graduated.) It was as if the gays were crying 
 out to the wider world, We're in prison here. Help! I could 
 not understand it in the least.
 
 I seem to recall, after the whole affair blew over, Bevan 
 said something to the effect that that these people were 
 trying to undermine our accreditation efforts and sabotage 
 the image of the school before the wider world.

Actually, I tend to agree with that asessment regardless of any anti-
gay bias at MUM. You don't make friends with people by attemptingto 
embaress them, and often your attempt backfires if you're trying 
to out them as bigots or whatever since while people might find the 
attitudes revealed repugnant, unless the attitude is WY outside 
the mainstream (which wasn't the case in 1980 in most places inthe 
USA), there will be a backlash of sympathy for the victim of the 
attack.

 
 You have to understand, we were *all about* proselytizing, 
 hence the coats and ties. Anything that distracted from 
 that clean-cut, mainstream image was strictly off the 
 program. So this gay rights plea on the day the school 
 was to be inspected by the outside academic world seemed 
 like an averted catastrophe. (The posters were taken down 
 right away, of course.)
 
 I don't know what the status of gays is in the TMO today.


At MUM? Not terribly fun, I'm guessing. For the recerts? Bevan is 
outside the loop since he doesn't wear a crown.

 Forget the gay thing...what you have just described
 is the entire history of the TM movement from Day
 One -- pretense and hiding its normality in the 
 closet, followed by panic, paranoia and persecuation 
 when the closet door is thrown open and all-too-
 normal interiors of the closet are revealed. 
 
 It doesn't matter whether the pretense was about TM
 having so negative side effects, or about TM marriages
 never failing, or about no one in TM communities ever
 committing suicide or seeing shrinks, or about every-
 body being straight. 
 
 Whatever the specifics were, the bottom line was always
 the same -- pretense. Pretending that the actuality of 
 the life of a TMer conformed to Maharishi's claims of 
 what the life of a TMer should be. And woe be unto him 
 who pulls back the curtain on that pretense and reveals
 it for what it is.


Yeah, but on the day the accreditation team is supposed to arrive? 
That's deliberate sabatoge, pure and simple. It's not like MUM was 
alone in being homophobic during that time.

That they PLAN to teach full time was the requirement, I believe. 
Denise Gerace was at MUM before she moved back to Tucson. Obviously, 
she likely was NOT teaching full time before she got recerted.

Dick and cunt are vulgar slang (check the
dictionary; the word cunt is identified as
usually obscene and the word dick as usually
vulgar).

Uterus is perfectly respectable clinical term,
like intestines or urinary tract or prostate
or ovaries or vagina or penis.  Clinicians
and reporters have no problem using those terms,
and most laypeople know what they mean and have no
objection to them either.

Yet they get all squeamish suddenly when it comes
to uterus.  Makes no sense.

  Who was the guy with sunglasses on during the question session with

  Are these locals or people who came from all over?
 
  Interesting response to the question on the Rishikesh sex scandals.
  At least there is freedom of speech during live streaming, it was
  cool the question could be asked and answered live.


 I missed it. What did he say?

This guy wanted Donovan to respond in song--in other words, sing his  
response--but rather than describe consciousness with all the  
buzzwords he's heard repeated all weekend long, he wanted to hear  
about the whole range of consciousness, from wrestling with  
consciousness and the demonic aspects to infinite, pure, unbounded,  
higher consciousness adjectives they all talked about so much: the  
light and the dark. Donovan just had this stunned look on his face  
and he said he didn't understand the question, so the guy repeated it  
in abbreviated form (the question was rather long and somewhat  
convoluted--and you weren't sure if he wanted him to sing his  
response or talk about how he'd write a song about this). Donovan  
again said he didn't understand the question, so the guy repeated it  
a third time. He still didn't get it, so someone stepped up on the  
stage and whispered something into Donovan's ear. Then Donovan  
answered the question of how he expressed higher consciousness into  
song--not the question the guy had asked. I swear to god, if he  
wasn't dead, you could've swore the guy in the sunglasses was Hunter  
S. Thompson.

A guy from Germany (Berlin) asked about the early Rishikesh days with  
the Beatles (and the Hurdy Gurdy story he had told the night before  
where JL called M. a good guru and patted him on the head) and  
asked what was it that had caused him to remain with meditation, but  
the Beatles split off from Maharishi. Donovan said that what people  
were saying was that Maharishi was getting girls in his room and then  
asking them to meditate in front of him topless, and other rumors. He  
then mentioned (one of the four reliances) the important thing is the  
teaching, not the teacher. He added that both George and he went on  
meditating but that John had gone on to write (critical) songs about  
Maharishi. What he thought it really was about was a jealousy between  
Mal (Evans) and John. He claimed Mal had some wine smuggled in and  
got various women drunk--and got them to start telling stories--and  
that's how the stories got started.

He also said that M. had wanted Donovan to stay on and they could set  
up a university in Edinborough together. Donovan refused and said he  
instead wanted to set up an invisible university through his music.  
Maharishi told, 'then go (and do that).'

  Bevan never ran the university on a day to day practical level.  
 
 
 Exactly the opposite of Rick's claim that he micromanages.
 
 He's
  hardly been there the past 20 yrs, except periodically to fire 
 people
  not deemed loyal and generally keep up the fear and cult 
 atmosphere. 
 
 Rick says he's in constant contact, but he agrees with you about 
the 
 fearthing.
 
  Before his leadership the university was an intellectually and
  spiritually exciting place.  It's been in decline ever since.  
  
 
 SIgh. MIU was founded in 1971 and moved to Fairfieldin 1974. It 
 gained accreditation candadacy in 1975, and was fully accredited 
the 
 year Bevan moved to Fairfield as its President in 1980.
 
 In other words, Bevan has been its President since it offered 
 accredited degree programs (since its been a real university).
 
 
  Getting purusha to take out student loans in the 80s saved the 
place
  financially then, and whoever came up with the idea of importing
  african students as a way for them to visas as computer 
programmers 
 is
  keeping it afloat now.  Of course donations still come in for 
 building
  projects because that gets points with MMY, not because of 
bevan.  
 
 What does that have to do with running the university?
 
 No
  way it could survive by attracting and keeping normal western
  students, the atmosphere is just too culty and the academics too 
 weak,
  that's all bevan's doing.
 
 Why do you consider the academics weak?
 
  
  What specific project has bevan ever led that has been 
successful? 
 
 Other than MUM for the past 25+ years, you mean?
 
  In
  reality I mean, not in fancy talks and brochures, or in tmo press
  releases or internal conferences.  My experience in the tmo was 
that
  things got accomplished by the talented and devoted foot soldiers
  despite the efforts of people like bevan, not due to them.
  
 
 That might be the case, but given how inaccurate your implicit 
 history of MUM has been, I'd take your concusions with a few tons 
of 
 rocksalt.
 
 I have always found Bevan's attitude to be quite condescending; and 
when he came to the University, he seemed to have the effect of 
chasing anyone away, who had any independent point of view.
 Maharishi seems to like his loyalty, and the prissy accent.
All I know is that the university was quite lively during the 
seventies, with many professors who were dedicated and interesting.
But, slowly but surely, the university became more of a gestapo 
oriented organization; having been purged of any free thinkers.
I can't really think of anyone who is more 'full of himself'...
We used to call him Bevan from Heaven, in jest; but I guess looking 
back, when happened to the university since he arrived, is not such a 
joke after all.

 Unwanted child is a reason given by secularists why a fetus
 should be aborted.

Again, I've never heard *anybody* say that a fetus
(unless it was hopelessly defective) *should* be
aborted.  If the woman doesn't want the child but
is willing to carry it to term and then give it up
for adoption, I don't think there's anybody who
would claim that abortion was preferable.

Mainly, what pro-choice people say (whether they're
secularists or religious) is that it *should* be
up to the woman and her physician, and that nobody
else really has any business telling her what they
think she *should* do.

Exactly. That's where I was going with the plot  
   idea. And  they'd find a way to justify it. Killing
   a normal child  via  abortion is murder, but getting
   rid of an abomination is  God's  will.
   
   Wow , you really are anti -Christian aren't  you? 
   Christianity  would demand the birth of the child 
in hopes the child would be nurtured to  make the 
right 
   choices.  Christians believe homosexuality is a 
choice , 
   not a  matter of  genetic inheritance. Now if you want 
   to ascribe such a scenario  to  somebody like 
   Hitler, you have a point, but not to a  practicing  
   Christian.
  
  You really *haven't* been paying  attention to 
  the country you live in, have  yo
  
  Probably much more than you. I assume you can give a 
few  
examples 
  of exactly what you mean. I have never heard of any 
  consensus 
of  
  Christian leaders that would ever suggest anybody be 
 aborted 
   for 
  any reason  other than to save the life of the mother. 
  However 
the 
  Human secularist
 
 As opposed to the *non*-human secularist?
 
  will give you any number of reasons *why* a fetus 
  *should*be  aborted.
 
 Actually, I've never heard a secularist give any reasons
 why a fetus *should* be aborted, only reasons why the
 decision should be left to the woman and her doctor.

Unwanted child is one I've heard quite alot.
   
   Is one what?
  
  Unwanted child is a reason given by secularists why a fetus
  should be aborted.
 
 Again, I've never heard *anybody* say that a fetus
 (unless it was hopelessly defective) *should* be
 aborted. 



Frankly, I find it unbelievable that having lived in the US of A for 
the past 35 years that you have not once heard the unwanted child 
reason uttered as a justification for why a fetus should be aborted.

I've heard that reason stated almost every time the subject has come 
up.



 If the woman doesn't want the child but
 is willing to carry it to term and then give it up
 for adoption, I don't think there's anybody who
 would claim that abortion was preferable.
 
 Mainly, what pro-choice people say (whether they're
 secularists or religious) is that it *should* be
 up to the woman and her physician, and that nobody
 else really has any business telling her what they
 think she *should* do.

  Dharma Quote of the Week 
		 
		 We think of ourselves as being the child of specific parents, as belonging to a certain gender and race, as a citizen of a specific nation, and as a member of a caste, class and community within that country, etc. Our identification with these transient reference points, be they racial, linguistic, cultural, conceptual, or gender-specific, can become lifelong love affairs, hate affairs, or guilt affairs. What Guru Rinpoche's birth symbolizes for me is the fact that, from the first moment, he recognized the unborn and undying nature of his mind, primordially pure awareness. He identified with that, rather than with his body, wherever it may have come from, be it a womb, a lotus, a stork, or a cabbage patch. Whatever physical, linguistic, or conceptual worlds he adopted, he wore as ephemeral ornaments on the infinite expanse of timeless awareness.
...Guru Rinpoche was not an individual who followed a spiritual path until illumination. He was an enlightened being who appeared in different guises entirely as a manifestation to help others, including the guise of an individual who followed the spiritual path.

Er, don't like dick or cunt, either? Blame the Normans.

   When does anybody use dick or cunt in a clinical

  That's my point, Judy. Those are no-no words to use in polite
  company including medical contexts, even though they are 
  unambiguous and shorter to boot.
 
 Dick and cunt are vulgar slang (check the
 dictionary; the word cunt is identified as
 usually obscene and the word dick as usually
 vulgar).

Because of the influence on Anglish of Norman invaders, who 
considered original Anglo-Saxon to be vulgar.

 
 Uterus is perfectly respectable clinical term,
 like intestines or urinary tract or prostate
 or ovaries or vagina or penis.  Clinicians
 and reporters have no problem using those terms,
 and most laypeople know what they mean and have no
 objection to them either.
 
 Yet they get all squeamish suddenly when it comes
 to uterus.  Makes no sense.

Didn't say anything about anything except that I know of no place in 
the Old or New Testament where abortion is considered murder (and 
causing a miscarriage IS mentioned in the Old Testament as an act 
punishable by a fine paid to the father so there is at least one 
place where the action and its punishment is mentioned explicitly).

 I think he's the youngest. There's another brother besides Bobby.


There is also their sister, Ellen, whose present last name I do not
know. Ellen and Bobby look remarkably alike.

 Frankly, I find it unbelievable that having lived in the US of A

 I've heard that reason stated almost every time the subject has

Well, I don't believe you, so we're even.

That's given as a reason for why women have abortions,
of course, but never as a should.





 
 
 
  If the woman doesn't want the child but
  is willing to carry it to term and then give it up
  for adoption, I don't think there's anybody who
  would claim that abortion was preferable.
  
  Mainly, what pro-choice people say (whether they're
  secularists or religious) is that it *should* be
  up to the woman and her physician, and that nobody
  else really has any business telling her what they
  think she *should* do.

[FairfieldLife] A little bit about Bevan

2006-03-26 Thread Rick Archer
From a friend:

Dear Rick

 From reading FFL tonight, it seems not much is known about Bevan.
Here is the little I know.

He first went to Rishikesh from Australia as a teenager and spent I
think a year working on staff there. M told him to get his degrees,
phd etc.
So Bevan left India, went to England, went to Oxford University and
ended up with a Master's in Philosophy. I remember his coming during
the summer to Seelisberg to spend some time with Maharishi. He wanted
so much to just stay there, but had to return and resume his studies.
After the Master's degree was awarded Maharishi had Bevan trained as
a TM-Sidhi Administrator and sent him to MIU, where he had very
little power. He had to report to Rindi Schwartz on extremely
important, time-sensitive projects. Many a time Rindi would just cut
him off and say, call tomorrow, I'm retiring now, even when the fate
of the University hung in the balance. Bevan swore he would never
work through women again. After a time Maharishi appointed Bevan as
President of the University and the checking of projects was done
directly.

Bevan has been responsible largely for fund-raising. Many a time the
University came within a few weeks of closing down due to low
finances; M kept taking more and more of the University's money for
international projects. Bevan would literally have to get on the
phone and beg for one of the millionaire donors to come through with
6 million (that was one story) or other such huge numbers in just a
week. So he has actually kept the university going for many years but
did not broadcast his role.

Bevan has been publicly chastized by M again and again. He handled it
well, just by not saying anything at all. At one point with the 7000
course, Bevan was pointing out to Maharishi that it wasn't possible
in the time allotted to accomplish everything M demanded. At that
point M blew up at Bevan and started to discuss holding the course
elsewhere. For about an hour Bevan kept silent with his head down,
not looking at anyone, and then Maharishi calmed down and allowed the
course to continue at MUM. So, Bevan learned to hold his peace in
order to keep the University front and center in M's attention and in
a positive light. Bevan's foremost focus was keeping Maharishi
appraised of the good side of the University. In that Bevan failed to
honestly convey the true story; but then those that convey the not so
rosey truth get fried and fired. Is that Bevan's fault? don't think so.

Many a faculty meeting Bevan would just  pour out love and compassion
for the faculty. But there was very little that he could do  in
changing policy. M had his own vision and that had to be followed.
Bevan faithfully followed M's vision. After all, it is M's
university, not Bevan's.

I think we need to be very careful to not compare M's Movement to a
regular business. Sure, that may be a downfall; but we must remember
that Maharishi, as a spiritual Master, has a responsibility towards
the spiritual enlightenement of his disciples. That may mean that M
instantly dissolves any successful venture a disciple sets up if that
disciple has any ego involved.  Bevan has taken many falls; but he
picks himself up again and keeps plugging on. He's suffered from
depression and low self-esteem, but just kept working. From my side
he is to be admired for that. It's been tough on Bevan and he doesn't
have many friends; very few that he can confide in. It's lonely at
the top of the TM heap and M plans it that way.

Bevan makes lots of mistakes, but don't we all? M now has Bevan by
his side for a reason. I hope M's plan works for Bevan's sake.

Do I like Bevan? No.
But I do admire what he has been able to accomplish.

And that's my version of this story.
