Hi Jason It's easy to sit in judgement many years later but like Dr. Pete said in an earlier reply, it was a different time back in that era, the early 80s, life in Fairfield was very campus-centric, the daily numbers in the domes were in the mid 1500s and up, many of us were doing 2 x 2 in the domes daily, the MIU campus was a vital, active place and very few to nearly none were in active revolt against the TM organization. Nothing about life in FF at that time indicated what was to come.
My ayurvedic products business was successful at it's own level which included the Purushnicks and the Mother Diviners who were, I believe, in Puerto Rico at that time. We had made great inroads into several other spiritual organizations, particularly Yogi Bhajan's 3HO org. and had a thriving mail order business. At that time I no more thought of defying Maharishi. Knowing that the TM organization had, essentially, unlimited financial resources behind them made my partner and I realize we could not compete at the level things were going to rise to. That and the fact that back then the words, "Maharishi says......" were very meaningful to most and if he said to buy Maharishi Ayurvedic products, that's what everyone was going to do.
