That's not what it says in the transcript of the press conference, which mentions flying experiences, but does not say that rajas are particularly qualified or have any specific flying abilities beyond what other YFers have (and most certainly youngsters are likely to be better fliers than these rich old farts), and it does mention that only the rich can be made rajas, because of their economic self- sufficiency: Special Skills and Knowledge of a Raja What does a Raja know, and what can a Raja do, that a Yogic Flyer cannot?' Global Press Conference, 9.2.05, http://mou.org MAHARISHI: 'A Yogic Flyer is the result of operating in silence. All the Sidhi Sutras are programmes for stirring increasing silence. A Raja is that steady consciousness which has authority simultaneously in silence and in action. Both are there in the awareness of the Raja. A predominance of silence is there in the flying procedure. 'The flying procedure is a part of the Raja Training, but it is not the whole of the Raja Training-no, no-not the whole. Raja Training is a training in the abstract, in the unmanifest, where total silence and total dynamism both simultaneously function together. It is a different technique; it is a different technique. Yogic Flying is a part-we can say a part-of it. It trains the mind to be competent for the Raja's Training, but it is a part of it. Raja's Training is something more than it. 'The difference is in the field of behaving with increasing silence, and the other, behaving with increasing dynamism. They are two different values, and they are not opposed to each other. One follows the other, and the combination of the two together is the awareness of the administrator- the ruler. 'That is why a ruler is competent to raise the level of consciousness of a child, or a grown-up, or a youth, or an elder. In the domain of a ruler, there are millions of people. All the millions of people have billions of desires. How does the Raja's parental role fulfil the desires of his people? By being competent to handle silence and dynamism at the same time-infinite silence and infinite dynamism at the same time-from that level of-the example is-the lamp at the door. You put the lamp at the door, and the light lights outside, and it lights inside. 'This is the Raja's role. The Raja's role-what I would say and I can go that far and absolutely it is true-the Raja's role is the god's role. It is the god's role to take any point, any small thing, to any big thing- Anoraniyan to Mahatomahiyan in the language of the Vedic Literature-finer than the finest to bigger than the biggest. Finer than the finest, bigger than the biggest is the role of the administrator. This is the role of the administrator: you administer. You administer. 'It is a different thing. Techniques are there. One cannot imagine the Raja Training. Without having gone through the training, one cannot imagine what kind of training it will be. It is different; it is different. 'Those who can be a Raja, I invite them, I will train them. But they must be those people who are not poor, who do not have to depend on money, because the training programme may take some time. To be a Raja is not a thing for the poor people. Only the rich people can afford to be a Raja, if they want to be really the commander of their life-command their life.'
