That is a very good question Rick. To answer this I would say that the scandinavian countries did less than the americans did. Much less. At least in terms of building up India or bringing the Knowledge to all corners of the earth or usher in the Age of Enlightenment. Who invited Him into their homes in 1956 ? The americans did. Who started research on consciousness and TM; the americans did. Idealistic, bright and dynamic Americans, souls applying for Discipleship and Initiation into the knowledge of the Masters of Wiwsdom did everything they possibly could do when the Scandinavians souls, with a few excemptions, simply were onlookers. Compared to Americans, many now solidly on the path to further Initiations, the Scandinavians did shamefully little. Many there missed this rare carmic opportunity. After His first travel to the Scandinavian countries Maharishi was asked about His impression of these countries and He said: "Norway is Sattva, Sweden Rajas and Denmark Tamas." My rant about America and americans versus the TMO must be seen in this light: The Americans where the first in the West to acknowledge His world-transforming teaching and His mission in creating The Age of Enlightenment for all to enjoy. In many ways they are the "chosen people" who, in the eternal Akasha Chronicles will be remembered for their role in transforming this earth into Heaven. In that country, The United States of America, Maharishi found those few, evolved, ready souls He needed to bring the blessings of Brahmananda Saraswathi to the whole world. For this the Americans are forever blessed and their role firmly recorded in the eternal Akasha Chronicles. If I left a different impression about this theme, I am very sorry.
