Could you tell us more about the Purusha center in the Himalayas. It may turn out that one of the best things M. did for humanity was his secondary things: he brought together the best Ayurvedic physicians and had them work together, he helped begin popularizing the idea of Holistic architecture from a vastu-tantra perspective, etc. He also popularized an old idea: meditating in larges groups for a postive effect. Not his version of it is necessarily the one to follow, but his marketing brought it to a wider public audience. In the example of Ayurveda, he may have helped rescue it from oblivion. More and more graduates of Ayurvedic medical schools are switching to Allopathy upon graduation: it's more money for them. Now that Ayurveda is becoming more popular, that trend may change. In regards to governments, the effect may be the opposite--it tuned governments in to what cults can be like--the sad after effect is some governments might be reluctant to interact (or at least be MORE suspicious) of spiritual methods in general.
