Maharishi was not saying that there was anything good about Scientology -- the implication was quite the opposite: if L. Ron Hubbard could take a sweating piece of crap like Scientology which Hubbard cooked up a year after his famous statement at a science- fiction writers' convention that "The fastest way to get rich is to start a religion," and make it a wealthy international organization, then Hubbard could have taken the powerful and useful TM and made it successful quickly.
