Dear Meditators, Sidhas and Governors, By now you have probably heard that the 6,000 tickets for the upcoming April 4th Benefit Concert sold out within minutes of going on public sale! This has caused some confusion and backlash because as it turns out the Radio City Music Hall facility only holds 600 people. As a result, there is no room for most of the 6,000 people who bought tickets, only for 600. As the Laws Of Nature would have it, that happens to be the *exact* number of people still remaining in the TM movement, so everything is fine. We plan on keeping the money so kindly contributed to the David Lynch Foundation by the other 5,400 ticket purchasers, but we will compensate them by giving a substantial 10% discount on Raja Raam's new book "The Vedic Physiology Of Rock 'N Roll" when and if it comes out. This seeming episode of bad planning was thus nothing of the sort. It was an example of how the Laws Of Nature intervene when something is not quite right. And it has a benefit that now all of the Rajas attending don't have to leave their crowns and robes at home to hide who they are. They can appear at the concert in all their cosmically resplendent finery, certain that no members of the News media will be there to photograph them. As reported earlier, the initial press coverage of the concert has already more than doubled the number of people calling our centers and wanting to learn the TM® technique. Those four new meditators will be given complimentary passes to the concert, as long as they stand outside in the lobby and don't try to mingle with the chosen. Also as reported earlier, in anticipation of this new wave of interest in the TM technique, we have upgraded the www. TM. org servers to support the expected increased volume. They can now handle up to ten people visiting the site worldwide a day. As you may know, we base our course fees primarily on the "cost of service" we provide. The more service we provide, the more it costs. Therefore the reduced course fees mentioned in the previous press release are only temporary, and we will make up for it by nickle-and-diming all these new meditators to death in future years. We are even considering charging for breathing, because as the Maharishi Effect continues to enliven the air, it will become more healthful *to* breathe. Please share this Gigormously Global Good News with your family, friends and associates. You will be doing them a Gigormously Global Great Service for which they will be forever Gigormously Grateful.
