Clarification - as I understand it Verma, who basically dealt with the Indian side of the Movement, seems to have launched a new Indian initiative (to teach 1% of Indians and introduce other MMY projects, without consulting the Global Country of World Peace leaders (including the Indian Raja). They, in their turn, spent some time on recent webcasts highlighting the fact that MMY had made Maharaja Rader Ram the absolute leader of his Movement plus suggested contact was made to clarify this new Verma initiative and announced they were giving it their blessing after all. However there is a suggestion here that Verma sees himself as the main player in India - he is the one after all responsible for all the Indinan Maharishi schools and the Pandits programmes and the large groups in India in the Brahmanastan centre being constructed. So he has a lot of power locally and is Indian and I think is in fact a member of MMY's family as well. The fact that he launched what amounts to a separate organization without any consultation with the TMO leadership suggests he doesn't see himself as having to defer to them. They in turn seem to have given their "blessing" to his efforts officially, but privately must have experienced this development as a leadership challenge. At least that's how I interpret these developments.
