I have no doubt that Maharishi, with the assistance of academic heavyweights
such as Hagelin (Ph.D. Harvard) and especially trustee Katz (D. Phil Oxford)
has accomplished alot in several fields of scholarship..And in fact I agree
with what my mentor from graduate school John Findlay (FBA, FAAAS) said to
Susan Levin (Ph.D. UCBerkeley) during Findlay's much acclaimed visit to M.I.U.
Fairfield in 1980 (check out the video in the M.U.M. library if you wish):
there is no reason why in principle the ME shouldn't work (and indeed it may be
working right now). Is Maharishi a great creative genius? Yes. Is he a
phenomenon? No doubt. Does he deserve credit for transforming the world?
Hegelin's recent assesments of that may not be far from true. But as a "Vedic
scholar," in a fairly strict common usage of this appellation, M.M.Y. may have
some limitations (as indeed we all do).

In Hagelin's academic world a "scholar" is someone who has accomplised
something great in the field of knowledge. Maharishi is a seer and
therefore a "scholar"
