Ridiculous. This is what it has been like since the beginning of time. Someone has to pay for the spiritual movement. In ancient times an Ashram in India was paid for by donors and patrons, a lot of volunteerism on the part of those who can't pay, a synagogue or monestary in ancient Isreal was paid for by the donors and patrons, a monestary or church in Medieval or Victorian England was paid for by donors and patrons, a monestary in ancient Tibet the same, a church in modern US is paid for by donors and patrons and a lot of volunteerism on the part of those who can't pay. Maharishi considers Americans wealthy by most standards in the world (which they are - something like 60% of the world's population live below the poverty line), and so he is asking lower-middle class to upper class Americans to pay what is only $3.30 a day for 2 years, for what has proven to be (through hundreds of peer-reviewed journals) the best researched and documented technique on the planet...by far.
