Rick makes a good point about this below. Different than Tony Nader’s larger French Lebanese family portfolio or some of the other altruistic TM big-wigs this comes as another good reason for the TM movement to post its financials on operations in detail on its webpages. Not just pie-charts but standard financial statements in detail readily available to read. If TM and all its shells is non-profit and charitable prove that it is well run by its trustees right now. Once again TM's integrity is an open question. -JaiGuruYou Actually, that was my post below. I don't think that sounds like Rick, do you? But, for sure financial reports on all kinds of ways in which people within the Movement make their money and how donated money is spent should be mandatory and perhaps it is. Transparency is a good thing - and not just within the context of the invisibility sutra. I don't have the time or the interest to start to look into financial reports the Movement may or may not publish but there seem to be some who are very interested in it and so I will leave it up to them to dig away. All I ever did was pay for my education at MIU and a mantra back in 1970 (all of my allowance at the time which was one pound sterling at the time which, I recall, was the equivalent of $1.40 US). Other than that I have neither donated time nor money to any other aspect of Maharishi's/the Movement's real estate plans, palaces, honey or yagyas. Consequently, I am not compelled to worry about whether Tony Nader's lavish lifestyle has been financed by those who thought they were paying for a healing effect brought on by those yodeling a yagya or two or whether he has inherited, earned or won the money via lottery. But, by all means, dig up those financials - if they don't exist surely laws in the US with regard to corporations like the TM Movement require such a thing. Anyone know? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <rick@...> wrote : http://m.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/business/real-estate/palm-beacher-pays-43m-for-lot-a-half-mile-from-hom/nqDbj/ http://m.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/business/real-estate/palm-beacher-pays-43m-for-lot-a-half-mile-from-hom/nqDbj/ I just read this. Isn't Tony Nader one of the Rajas? Or is he just a scientist/doctor? Not having been a follower of what goes on in the TM Movement since 1985 I presume this is news - the fact that he has some bucks? If you're a Raja don't you have had to have donated a wheelbarrow full of money or something? If that is the case, the amount is $1m (?) then it comes as no surprise that someone has a lot more than that in their bank account. Only an idiot would donate $1m and not have at least $10m in the bank, minimum. salyavin808 writes: This is the TMO doing what it does best. Soliciting donations for it's "world plan for world peace, bringing enlightenment and prosperity to all nations" and then spending it all on real estate. They have big plans you see, the idea has always a world wide network of palaces and embassies for the "rajas", but no one would pay for that directly so they get you with the old "pundit program" scam, it still seems to work, get a maniac like John Hagelin to make it all sound scientific with a video about string theory, and everyone will think it's valid in some sort of demonstrable way, Before you know it the millions are rolling in from the hopeful flock who have been brainwashed for decades with crap about vedas and physics and now vedas and physiology. I do remember them saying that they'd give refunds in future if the "peace creating" pundit groups didn't happen. Well they didn't happen, not even slightly. This recent layout of funds on big houses for the bigwigs gives the lie to that. It should be obvious that not even they believe all that "coherence creating" bullshit, the question is: What are TMers going to do about it? I'm sure you all received the letter I did recently, about doubling your monthly donation for the yagya programme? Bet you didn't think it was going on flying lessons for the King, expensive jeweller for his wife, or expensive - and non TM - schools for their kids. Keep the money rolling in, Heaven on Earth awaits. Just not for you....
