Baloney. In Doug's first reply to my post, he mentioned both " our communal
well-being here and our very survival as a community." and "the Welfare of the
meditating university in Fairfield should be everyone's interest in living in
Fairfield, Iowa"
This implies first that the community of Fairfield itself might fold if the
university went under which in my opinion is nonsense. Fairfield survived the
demise of Parson's College and it will survive the demise of MUM when Girish
sells it off to fund his retirement.
Since Doug is using the existence of other non-TM groups there as part of his
excuse to solicit funds for the TMO, I think he should acknowledge that if the
University went out of business (which I sincerely hope it does one day soon)
there would still be a burgeoning spiritual community that would blithely
continue on its way, not giving a damn about the demise of the TMO in Fairfield.
What Doug isn't saying is that even though he has been abused by the TMO, he
still believes in the magic of the group TMSP and believes it is the ticket to
world salvation, which is why he is posting a call for donations for MUM and by
extension for the Movement.
He still isn't telling us how he will feel if others post other spiritual group
donations for other groups that also exist in Fairfield.

This group is called Fairfield Life. MUM happens to be the only college in
this town, so any news or information about MUM, such as that contained in the
post Doug made, is relevant to this group.

So why are you not posting donation solicitations for some of these groups
other than the TMO? You are the one who posted the solicitation originally, not
someone else. If you are so interested in the health of non-TM meditation
groups and organizations, why aren't you posting the donations pages of those
non-TM groups?
Sure hope someone else weighs in on this. Like Barry - but he ain't allowed to
post now is he?

And I would say you are full of crap.
Your bias towards TM and MUM are taking over. I don't know exactly what the
policy is on soliciting funds here on FFL, but I think Rick used to frown on
it.
You also didn't answer my question as to how you would feel if other meditation
groups like Sri Sri Ravi Shankar or the Ananda people or any others began to
post donation solicitation?
To be fair, you would have to allow it, and then what would FFL become?
There is also the fact that a lot of people on FFL feel the organization you
are soliciting funds for is a dishonest one that misuses funds and uses monies
to fund highly dubious projects, like keeping the pundits behind razor wire etc.
Not to mention that the university continually touts its utterly non-scientific
schlock as science. You are asking people to fund the likes of Hagelin who is a
joke in real scientific circles.
If you are gonna be an unbiased moderator (which you aren't) you have to
consider all sides of the question, not just "Oh, we have to keep Marshy's cash
cow going so we can save the world!"
Let's hear from other FF Lifers as to their opinions on this.

Related to FFL?
Of course this is packed relevant news to FF when we consider the numbers, our
communal well-being here and our very survival as a community. You don't live
here but the Welfare of the meditating university in Fairfield should be
everyone's interest in living in Fairfield, Iowa. The local meditating
university is a huge economic flywheel.
Paste:
I have been a Trustee of Maharishi University of Management for almost three
years. My focus is generally in the field of campus reconstruction,
sustainability, and master planning.Lately I have been reviewing the finances
and the operating budget. I can honestly say that Michael Spivak and the
Executive Council are working miracles with the available funds to maintain and
expand our University. Every possible donation and resource is being used for
the education and enlightenment of our students as well as our whole world
family.The Annual Fund is a crucial contributor to MUM, sustaining our
University in its role to bring Maharishi's knowledge to the world. The Fund
supports student scholarships, faculty, staff, recruiting, academic programs,
campus sustainability and reconstruction, and so much more.This year we project
a shortfall of $300,000 in the Annual Fund from a temporary setback from one of
our regular donor foundations. Having a firsthand look at the budget, I can
tell you that we absolutely need to make up for this shortfall.Over the years,
I have put myself out on a limb managing Maharishi Global Construction,
building 50 Vastu homes and buildings in Fairfield/Vedic City, and constructing
the Golden Dome Market and donating it to the University as a major source of
revenue year after year. It has been an honor, a joy, a challenge, and a huge
gift to my life being part of Maharishi's legacy. Maharishi once told me: “Just
be thankful we were picked by Nature to be part of this Cosmic Event to bring
Heaven on Earth.” Most of us, over many decades, have shared Maharishi's vision
for the world and have been part of this huge transformation of time.We all
know that Maharishi University of Management is a powerful source of Maharishi
Vedic Science and its technologies going out to the world. This is an enormous
responsibilityBoldly and humbly, I would like to ask your help. Please
contribute to the Annual Fund drive that must be fulfilled by June 30. It is
time once again to do what we always do, give and support without reservation
to our cosmic mission to raise the consciousness of the world. This year we are
counting on our donor family to double or even triple our giving to set MUM on
an unrestricted path.Click here to make your gift online.Thank you so much for
your consideration.Jai Guru Dev Combined with this post this is all very
evidently newsworthy to the FF community. What zip code do you live in anyway?
I would say you are just harassing my bringing this substantial and material
content to FFL with this trollish criticism of yours published below here,
harassing my posting this content about the local meditating university to FFL.

Seems like a solicitation to me. Ain't that agin the rules, Mr. Moderator?
Would you be keen to see a fund raising solicitation from Amma? Or Sri Sri
Ravi?Or a group that is opposed to TM and the TMO?
Your biases are showing Bucky.
