Again you oversimplify. Has it not occurred to you that the Dalai Lama strikes more that one person (Maharishi) to be just a politician ? And has it never occurred to you that many on this planet, independent of Maharishi, do not hold the current "democracy" to be either very democratic nor just ? But I suppose that if you find a fault in Maharishi or in any of his followers you are happy and have no need for further analysis.
