Dear Supporter of the Maharishi Vedic Pandits,

More than 30 Indian publications in the US and abroad have retracted the
wildly inaccurate article about the Vedic Pandits that they had picked up
from a Chicago Indian weekly. 

This has ranged from direct retractions (e.g., below), to publishing the
detailed text of our responses, to new positive news articles about the
Pandits.

Dr. Prakash Shrivastava and Raja Bob LoPinto held 5 days of meetings with
the Vedic Pandits at the Maharishi Vedic City campus, working with them
about this situation, educating them about the consequences of Pandits going
off on their own, and addressing any concerns the Pandits have. 

This is already having a positive effect. Some Pandits who had left the
Chicago airport without returning to India have returned to Maharishi Vedic
City and been given flights home. The vast majority of the Vedic Pandits are
very dedicated to their program and happy with campus life. One special
outcome of these on-campus meetings was identifying Pandits in Maharishi
Vedic City who have been in the Movement for 20 years or more, and forming a
council of these senior Pandits to give advice and guide the others.

Again, thank you for your support for the Maharishi Vedic Pandit program and
for all your kind responses to this current challenge. With this situation
largely behind us, we are now working to bring more Pandits from India to
replace those who are going home after completing their 2- or 3-year stays
in the US. 

Jai Guru Dev,

Raja John Hagelin

I have been searching the Internet and I have yet to find any news outlets 
retracting the story about the missing pundits, except for the Allvoices one 
referenced in the communique from Hagelin which I suspect was written by a 
TM'er - I mean what objective journalist would refer to a program he or she 
knows nothing about as a landmark program?

There is no evidence that there are any missing pundit boys in Vedic 
City and no missing pundit boys have been reported.
