The quote I offered very definitely came from Maharishi on 8th July

The quote appears between 00:21:00 and 00:22:30
I had no doubt to the veracity of your attribution, I was just
pointing out these are obviously two different quotations from two
very different sources. While I'd like to imagine they're verification
of a pattern, we may very soon have to accept that Sw. Prakashanand--
as another "fallen" marketeer from Guru Dev's line (he built his
Philly sangha on ex-MMY discontent)--is not truly objective enough to
be able to be quotable in the caliber of biography you've been able to
produce on MMY.
Unfortunately, if convicted (and perhaps even if NOT convicted)
Prakashanand would be hard to accept as a legitimate source, but just
another SBS involvee, begging for wealth and the spotlight and his
dead guru's name for his calling card...
Happy Halloween! Off to a party! (dressed as Satan, Lord of Darkness,
complete with Shaivite pitchfork!)
