I have used 'Maharishi Ayurveda' and 'Sri Sri Ayurveda' products by SriSri.Ravishankarji. Looks OK, but, You should walk into many of the thousands of small Herbal medicine production units in india. Formulas are not always followed. If an ingredient is not available it is left out. Raw materials dumped on the floor and people walking in through them with their dirty feet.!! But that is not all. There is a huge Fake allopathy medicine racket going on in india. For example common antibiotic, say for example ciproflaxin. White talcum powder in neatly packed into capsules stamped as ciproflaxin and marketed. The racket became so huge that the indian govt recently introduced death penalty for the offence. ---OriginalMessage-- From: "sparaig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 05 Nov 2005 09:01:44 -0000 Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Was Letter from Farrokh - Now Situation in India MAPI NOT being one of these, despite their claims?

I agree with you Mark, In fact, my initator equates Maharishi on par with Christ and Buddha.!! He thinks all allegations of mistakes on MMY are false. However, he openly admits that only Allopathic medicines saved Maharishi. If there is an medical emergency only allopathic treatment works. My view is that there has to be a proper balance between Naturapathy and Allopathy, both can complement each other. Unfortunately, TMO still sticks rigidly to Ayurveda and defames Allopathy to a great extant. I remember reading an article in a website where a woman student taking Maharishi's course was ill treated by the TMO for asking for Allopathic medicines. Also, I would like to point out that there is a huge 'multi-billion dollar Herbal fraud' taking place all over the globe. Most of these medicines are improperly made and are of dubious quality. People have developed serious complications taking these herbal medicines, some have even died as a result. There was a programme on discovery channel on this couple of years back. Heavy metal and pesticide contamination in manufacture of herbal medicine and also bacterial and viral contamination in the manufacture of these medicines is a huge problem. Most of these medicines are not sterile because manufacturing conditions are dirty.

Maharishi's name board was removed, and the schools were literaly stolen. Indian-TMO had to go to the courts to get the culprits evicted and get back control over the schools. > > Once, in late 1970's, my initatior was sitting with Maharishi in Delhi, a guy hijacked Maharishi's school. Maharishi told him on the phone that he will not pay him salary. This guy tells Maharishi to fuck off.!! I wonder how you hijack a school. Were the principals simply doing a little competent independent thinking? Probably there was some financial corruption involved too, though all reports from india that I've gotten is that the nephews are the prime recipients of the corruption. Maybe these hijacking principals were not going along with that. IN short I don't think there are any clear good guys with these schools, but a turf war among competing corrupt gangs. > Maharishi gave an order that every initator be provided with a jeep, and also given pension scheme. As soon as Maharishi left india that order was completly ignored. Pension was deducted from the salaries of initators, but none of the retired or resigned initators have received pension or provident fund till date. We know how MMY gives different instructions to different people - maybe that's involved. MMY giving a jeep to initiators goes against everything we know about how he operates elsewhere. Maybe true but very unusual. I remember living in NOIDA during vedic science course and coming home one night to find pundits burning the tents, protesting not getting paid for some time. > Sometime in the early 1980's, the Indian-TMO began to ignore virtualy every instruction given by Maharishi. It seems any little dissent or independence is promptly squelched in the US - how is india so different? > I think Maharishi last visited india in 1992, He became very sick. He was very badly taken care of. Only Ayurvedic medicines was given to him and Maharishi was about to die.!! > An intelligent brahmachari [forgot name] threw all these Jokers out, and bundled Maharishi into a Plane to Europe, where Maharishi received Allopathic treatment.!! He recovered and two years later, Maharishi and Tony Nader came out with the discovery of the 40 devatas manifested in the Human Physiology.!! He had a heart attack plus kidney failure. Probably the idiots on the scene tried ayurved, though that's not surprising given MMY's statements at the time concerning ayurved vs allopathic. He was eventually taken to Chopra's father, who was still a highly respected practicing cardiologist in new delhi, who stabilized him. Then Deepak (and probably this brahmachari) accompanied him to London for full allopathic treatment - conflicting stories as to whether he received bypass or just angioplasty. > The fact is these Jokers almost killed Maharishi and providence saved him.!! Allopathic medicine saved him, and according to his former personal physician who now lives in DC, MMY has relied exclusively on western medicine, the best money can buy in both Holland and London, since then. > Misappropriation and embezzelment of funds is rampant in Indian-TMO, comparable to corruption in Red-cross or United-Nations. This is definitely the word out of india, pundit donations going all over the place. The question is who is doing the embezzling. We know from the accounts of the personal secretaries involved that in the 70s MMY was taking suitcases of cash out of the US to Europe to Swiss banks, accounts in his name. It's a fair question to ask if this is still going on from India and if MMY's family are involved. > I think sometime in the early 1980's, Maharishi began to lose his grip on his organisation. > > Paramahansa Yogananda handpicked a few people gave them intensive training, made sure they are top quality teachers before authorising them to teach Kriya-yoga. Though if you read the blogs and chat groups of that org. they are dealing with all sorts of scandal and disappointment. The masses can't stand "the Mothers" who are in charge. > Maharishi made the mistake of mass producing too many half-baked initators by the thousands, and in the process lost control over the movement itself.! Look at the employee turn-over in the organisation. In Management principles, if a company has that kind of turnover something is seriously wrong with that company. Yes. > I think in the past 15 year
