 Has someone claimed that Maharishi has said within

 I'm afraid that's yet another example of my wild
 imagination (vikalpa, one of the five vRttis in
 YS), and tendency to misunderstand stuff.

With all due respect, even if it turns out to
be a true rumor, it could also be an example 
of believing someone who should not be believed.

Aren't we talking about the guy who declared
Sat Yuga a done deal? Aren't we talking about
the guy who thought Hagelin had a chance to be
President of the US? Aren't we talking about 
the guy who has made far more incorrect wild
predictions and pronouncements than correct
ones?

Get a grip.

I didn't say I believed it, but suddenly it has started
to seem a *remote* possibility, because Russia's economy
might be about to collapse. That might eventually lead to
a war where nuclear weapons are used, but that's rather
unlikely, though.
