As far as I know, Guru Dev lived in a mansion in his retirement called the Jyotir Math, with servants and massive donors from the Hindu community, as well as many volunteers (which included Maharishi fro a decade or so). You are way off, Off World. Stop trying to make your ideal fit the facts. Jyotir Math is in the little podunk town of Jyoshi math. Guru devs cave is not exactly a mansion. its a cave, painted blue with a murti of Shankara in the center.its tall enough to stand up in and about 20 feet across with a metal gate on the front. The shankaracharyas ashram is a two story wooden building. Hardly a mansion. Money did you no good there, as Ramananda saraswati told a few of Shree Maa's devotees there just after 9/11. Charging for spiritual techniques was not done there. It was not run as a business. These days TM is not done there, as far as i know. i questioned ramananda and he told me his main sadhana was japa. he showed me guru devs altar. he worshipped Shiva andDurga as the divine mother. wake up and smell the roses. Please stop embarrassing yourself with your proclamations of what a good spiritual person you are by elaborating on your kind donations. They must be done anonomously. Tooting your own horn only makes you a tooter, not a spiritual luminary. TM was a great starter technique, good for blood pressure, stress, etc. It starter millions on the path of spirituality. MMY did a great job. He said in 1974 when asked if he was the Maitreya that he was the predecessor to the Maitreya. If it takes 30 years to figure out that TM does not get you enlightened then you know it is not increasing your IQ!!!!!!!!! steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
