************** It's called "bang for the buck." Emphasizing the movement in India is the only thing that makes sense for all parties. In the U.S., names of public schools where the kids practice TM are being held confidential because of all the hoo-ha about whatza religion and what aint ( see http://tinyurl.com/5qzw2v )-- there is none of this crap in India, where 820 million Hindus are a ready market for M-schools and punditry. And, once enough Hindus are practicing TM (Girish Varma is looking to initiate 10 million ASAP), Western financial support will be a drop in the bucket -- if those crore TMers in India give an average donation of 5000 rupees/yr (~$100 USD), the TMO will have an annual fund from this alone of a billion USD/yr.
