...and an early ruling from Nader Ram will be that someone other than himself will handle the public face of the TMO, and the details of running the TMO. Nader Ram can save face by declaring that he's going to rule from the field of permanent silence. In all due respect to Nader Ram, Deepak Chopra had the greatest potential to be a successful successor to MMY. When Deepak left the TMO, MMY tried to elevate Nader Ram based predominantly on academic credentials as a Harvard-trained neuroscientist. Nader Ram's heart seems pure, but he will be eaten alive by Bevan, Girish, John, and others, in short order, if he really tries to run the TMO.
