In an earlier posting someone said, "If the majority of teachers were to take steps now we might be able to keep the teaching alive". I will always appreciate all the good that Maharishi has given the world. I remember a time after TTC, and even well into the 90's, the basic message was clear. Now I fear that exposing others to what is happening, with the robes, high fees, failed business plans, palaces and nonsense, that some will become overshadowed and abandon the basic message that has already been shown to have value. A criminal court judge, one of my TM students, refuses to recommend TM to anyone now. He wrote "Maharishi is a billionaire who seems to have lost his spiritual side to greed. I get his newsletter and after seeing his progress to all of this "king" stuff have quit telling people that I do TM as I can't explain what he is doing." A recent graduate of the recertification course circulated a letter recently discouraging future participation , "It was hell. Teachers were being told daily that they must adjust to the changing operating principle explained by Maharishi in live broadcasts. Maharishi chastised the governors daily and consistently for the past level of non-cooperation. He was clear and forceful to say the least. I felt at times that he actually took pleasure in making the course participants uncomfortable. After the first five days 80% on the course participants that I spoke to wanted to leave. The long term full- timer national staff were the first to accept it."
