This Dalai Lama is "just a politician" (- Maharishi.) What indian politicians are not corrupt ? In India you can buy everything, even governmental policies. It's among the 3 most corrupt countries of the world, and Maharishi had to leave, obviously. The Saints that stay, given they are high profiled, are imprisoned or under heavy attack for extortion by local politicians (Sai Baba, Swami Premananda and others)
