Great writeup. Thanks. I doubt that I'd be able to get in to the Vlodrop buildings if I went; it's just been too many years since I left the TMO for it to have any easy way of figuring out who I was and that I actually went to TTC in 1972 and took my Sidhis course in 1977. Besides, I don't have a beige suit, so they probably wouldn't let me in for that reason. :-) Why not just wear the dress you paid $500 for that used to belong to the 6th Dalai Lama of Tibet? Just tell the security guard that you are "Uncle Tantra" and that you've come to write a report for Yahoo FFL or TM-Free. It's not complicated. Sorry I couldn't get away for coffee when you were nearby. Big work deadline that I just barely managed to meet.

I never had a pull to go back, considering it as something of the past, in which I had more of a peripheral interest. Now, having things to do in Holland, I thought, why not just pass it by, it was sort of on the way. I didn't expect much, just a small stop over, maybe seeing some buildings from the fence. When I arrived, security at the main gate, I pulled out my Android to take a few shots, the building I had once lived in was basically a ruin by now, and was in the process of being finally broken down, it didn't look pretty for sure. I later learned, that they now have an official permission to demolish it. The new building of Maharsihi could be seen to the right site, but not very visible, unless I would enter, but there was the security man. But I was lucky, an old friend appeared, I could recognize him from some of the more recent webpages and from facebook. I called his name, and he too recognized me, gave me a hearty hug and welcome. He looked good. He started guiding me inside and gave me some explanations, and even finally led me into Maharishis house, which I had seen only on websites so far, showed me the ground floor. The building isn't very wide actually, much smaller than many movement buildings I had been too. It was a nice sunny day, though cold. The center part of it has been gilded in the mean time. My friend showed me then around to see all the newly constructed buildings and forrest shrines to different deities, explaining me the vastu of it all. etc. Than it was time to go, I still had to travel about two hours to a place near The Hague, probably not to far from the place Barry is staying. I must say, that I really like Holland, it's a very clean modern and open country, lot's of bicylces everywhere, very interesting constructions, some like the one Barry is driving with Maya. Anyway, the meeting I attended to went very well, and it was a great trip.
