I appreciate you posting this pdf on the need for funds to bring the pundits to America - when I saw it I couldn't help but remember the dollar amounts that Maharishi was reputed to be worth when he died - if the Movement has as much money as they seem to have, to build and maintain the place in Vlodrop and dress the big wigs in gold and ride 'em around in big money cars surely they could pay for this themselves.
