MMY makes hope. 3-4 years ago an old TM-Teacher called me, she was listening to the Satellite Channel with News from MMY organisations every day. And one day it was told that a day in June that Year (I cannot remember the exact day) Heaven of Earth should rise. Pretty much like what has been saying about Sat Yoga these days. The TM- Teacher really believed that the world would change from that date, that she the next morning would wake up to a New World. Because that was what MMY had said. I do not know in what way she reacted when it did not happen, because I went to be a Non Grata person in the TMO. But I guess that MMYs devotees are clinging to what ever hope MMY is sending out, because they cannot face the reality that maybe - maybe - MMY is wrong. Ingegerd
