In case you haven't noticed, MIU is now called MUM and is still going. That's hardly a failure. Maharishi Vidya Mandir is the elementary/secondary educational system that MMY has set up in India. At least a few of the schools are well-known in India. Oh, and while its possibly difficult to get new enrollees currently, Maharishi School is a sucess by any rational standard. ------------------------ Yahoo!
