A couple yrs ago, a friend who knew alot about the Indian TMO said to me something to the effect: imagine what will happen to the brains of the MUM crowd when the truth comes out and they realize the Indian TMO has as much in common with the mafia as an ashram. Personally I don't know anything, but think it's pretty naive to think that hundreds of millions of hard currency has disappeared into an indian spiritual movement w/o there being some intriguing financial, political and underworld-type scenarios tangentially involved (though the Sai Baba empire surely has the juicest hidden stories). PS - the rather popular novel Shantaram provides an interesting glimpse into the indian mafias and their relationship with the spiritual world and Bollywood in Bombay.
