What specific facilities are you making this claim about? It was silk wallpaper, not tapestries at the College of Natural Law. Maharishi didn't have enough aesthetic sense for art . At CNL the rugs were the highest quality of thick genuine wool, in Seelisberg the chairs were gold leafed.

Yes the Maharishi was a martyr myth, I know it well. The idea that an ambitious guy like Maharishi who showed no reclusive tendencies before or after the two years he claimed to have been camping in Uttar Kashi is absurd. He was an advance man for Guru Dev, that is how Jerry described it to me.
