You need not be present.  The one I signed up for was on a following day 
and they just perform the yagya with your name inserted among a list of 
others.


Let's remember that much of science is a belief system too. There's much

The first point as 1. in the text below as to Dr. Nader's initial reluctance to 
the job feels quite poignant and tells a narrative that seems is there in this.
 

 As a communal leader Dr. Nader has not had nearly the public experience
 and acquired the acumen for the job that the Drs. Morris and Hagelin and 
others have
 earned as lecturers, teachers and administrators of TM.
 

 It seems pretty clear Dr. Nader was brought out of the basement and
 put on stage center.
 

 What the text is not showing is an insight in to the working relationship
 which the three Drs. have with each other at the top as they
 have come in to the inheritance of the heritage of all that is TM.
 That part of relationship working out in by-law actually is
 really interesting to watch play out in process.
 

 None of the three can necessarily rule by decree, they have
 to bring the others along and these are substantial personages.
 Technically they are only trustees of a corporation. That was
 well set up by Maharishi well before Maharishi passed away.
 

 Each of the three bring things by talent and personality that the others need
 or they have to work around. That is the TMO now.
 
 The other night at the Dome meeting
 of Vedic City (..the Global Country people), the University, and the in-town 
meditator communities
 where Dr. Nader skype-ed in from somewhere
 was a good example of some of the dynamic
 with the three. There is a lot going on.

  FW: "..I suggested to a friend who hears quite a bit of the thinking of 
higher-level TMO persons to read the discussion and tell me what she thought. 
She had some interesting perspectives on what she read here. 

 

 Here are a few points from a long dinner conversation earlier tonight, they 
are abbreviated – and so keep in mind they lack much of the nuance of what she 
said. Keeping that in mind, I found them quite interesting (i.e. some very 
different perspectives than would have occurred to me) and so I thought I would 
offer them as information here.
 

 1. Re: King Tony. The ‘ruling from silence’ spiel that was played around the 
time of MMY’s death was a way of dealing with a combination of factors: 1) Tony 
was not comfortable with public speaking of the kind expected of MMY’s 
appointed successor; 2) He went through a long period of being overwhelmed and 
was pressured to stay on. 

 

 2. TMO’s thinking is not as fixed regarding King Tony’s role as she picked up 
people on FFL-2 seem to think based on her reading on this topic in FFF-2. It’s 
constantly evolving. TMO higher-ups are sticking to what they consider to be 
MMY’s core principles, but how that plays out is certainly not fixed.
 

 3. Something she said that really struck me (but made sense when she said it). 
How King Tony is perceived by those who work for the TMO (the ‘beige suits and 
saris’ brigade as she called them) is NOT a concern or focus for TMO bigwigs.  
She brought this up because it seemed to be such a significant train of thought 
here on FFL-2.  Logic: By the time somebody becomes a ‘beige suit/sari person’ 
they have already accepted the whole TMO culture, and if they change their 
mind, they can leave – there will be others to take their place. 

 

 [Think of the millions who follow royalty, particularly in Britain – more 
below.]
 

 4. TMO believes it is only a matter of time before the world begins to take 
notice of the TMO as a major force in the world (as she and I remember MMY 
saying in the 70’s). The focus among TMO bigwigs is how King Tony is perceived 
by the public when this happens – and the preparation for this is ongoing in a 
very focused manner. 

 

 5. She’s aware of the Florida digs, expensive schools (she did not know about 
the flying lessons). Also indicated that the rumor is that he has similar digs 
in Paris, and there are plans for major (think Buckingham Palace luxury digs – 
but vastu) in every continent. She has no idea where the money comes from, but 
she assumes it is TMO money.  

 

 One point she made was about the vast divide between the Florida digs 
discussion she read here in FFL-2 and ‘TMO-think’: These ‘Florida digs’ are 
only a pittance – what is being attempted is the creation of the equivalent of 
a British royal family type setup (all the palaces, pageantry, jewels, private 
planes, embassies in every country in the world, etc.), but not just in one 
country – in every continent. Also, this is not King Tony only – it is intended 
as the beginning of dynasty that will last for thousands of years. The money 
spend on the Florida digs doesn’t even reach the level of peanuts.

Right. The Religious TMers are hoping for a payoff after waiting endlessly, and 
the ant-TMers argue that no payoff is immanent. Doing this through Yahoo forums 
has nothing to do with presenting any version of truth. It is simply empty 
complaints from those who are angry at having not benefited from the TMO, as 
they feel they so richly deserved. No attempt at taking responsibility, or 
adhering to the rigors of science. They are clearly not living in the real 
world, just working hard at enabling their prejudices, and making no spiritual 
progress whatsoever.  

 Everyone makes their choices, and lives with the consequences. Though 
fundamentalists as those on both sides of this issue, also insist that theirs 
is the only right way, there is a middle way between the two of them, free of 
rancor or dogma, that provides all the knowledge and freedom anyone could ask

 Sorry, I wanted to get back to this but was busy for the last few days 
enjoying the Island I live on - walking suspension bridges, biking, eating 
delicious local food, celebrating my 28th wedding anniversary and generally 
falling in love with British Columbia all over again.  But I am back now.
 

 So, you ask me if your friends can decide. Sure they can, they did and they 
have and they will continue to do so. You decide to meditate twice a day. You 
decide to take a bike ride, eat a pastrami sandwich, watch the telly. Do you 
need someone to tell you not to? Do you want your friends to suggest the 
pastrami is bad for your heart or that the bike ride might result in your 
demise? You're a big boy, you have the right to decide these things for 
yourself just as they can decide if they want to lay out their money to have 
someone sing to the universe on their behalf. Who are you to decide what is 
best for them, what will make them happy? What does it really matter if it 
works or not? Seriously. You just seem to resent the fact that someone is 
making money off of your friends' choices to have a prayer sung for them. Is it 
really any different from paying for that prescription that may or may not cure 
your psoriasis? For some the pills might clear it up but for others it might do 
nothing. Does this mean the drug is useless, some sort of placebo? Not 
necessarily. You just have a hard on for the Movement and that is fine but my 
advice (which is the last thing you're asking for) is to realize no matter how 
much you rail against them and try and convince others they are throwing their 
money away your voice will be unheard and unheeded by those who believe/think 
differently.
 

 When you're embroiled in a cult you can really start to believe what they tell 
you as I'm sure you're aware. 
 

 Sure, but I also know there is still a choice. It's not like any cult can 
actually lobotomize you. You are still a free agent. It just took me a while to 
recognize what was going on around Robin through months of looking and seeing 
and hearing what was happening during the end of things, when it all got 
crazier than ever. Then it took me rebelling, openly, at the group and getting 
kicked around again which opened my eyes wider and when that happened I went 
hell-bent to try and open everyone else's eyes including going to the local rag 
and exposing everything. None of them listened to me at the time but the 5 part 
newspaper series seriously disrupted the thing and they all scattered, some 
losing their jobs, Robin leaving town. So, in the end I created enough shit to 
break it up but it wasn't really me. It was many things coming together all at 
once. 
 

 Obviously it's up to people to become scientifically aware and think their way 
out of the stupidity before it bankrupts them or they end up moving to a town 
where this sort of excuse for thinking is taken so much for granted that it 
becomes a given rather than the utterly astonishing load of pseudo-scientific 
nonsense that it actually is.
 

 These people you know will not ever become "scientifically aware". They don't 
care about any science. They simply want a result from what it is they believe 
in.
 

 Grown ups can believe anything they like, but if people you know are 
habitually throwing their money into a hole in the ground - or in this case 
real estate in Florida - when they think they are creating some sort of peace 
creating group of Indian chanters the we owe it to them to darw it to their 
attention or we aren't very good friends.
 

 You don't know for a fact that our Raja friend is being financed by your 
friends' yagyas. That is pure conjecture. If I was a yagya enabler I would 
insist you provide me with concrete proof before I were to consider changing my 
mind. Jamesalan's dinner date didn't strike me as someone who was believable - 
her assertions were preposterous. I'm not that gullible to believe the Movement 
is going to make our dear Doctor as rich or as "royal" as King Charles. C'mon, 
you have to laugh. Talk about unscientific "evidence". 
 

 If you knew someone who was being scammed by a devious pension plan wouldn't 
you tell them if you knew?

"immortal cats" - good one - Yes, as human beings we always take things to 
extremes. 

 Googling, I found an interesting study done on the effect of yagyas on air 
pollution in India. There are detailed explanations of why the yagyas work, and 
quite a few measurements taken under what appear to be well controlled 
conditions. The science appears sound, and it is worth a read through:

 Going back into this, your original assertions were that yagyas don't work and 
people should not spend their money on them, and possibly that the TMO takes 
the money without having yagyas performed.  

 Given that there is no meaningful data whatsoever to back up either of these 
statements, why should they be seen as scientific? 
 

 It's good to see people trying to get to grips with what's scientific and what 
isn't but I never made any claims that either statement was scientific. But we 
can make it so:  It's pretty obvious that yagyas don't work because we don't 
have world peace or a vastu village in the north of England (a lot of money was 
raised for yagyas for both). My friend with the migraines still has them 
despite spending $25,000 on these prayers. These are a few examples and you 
might say we can't draw big conclusions from small samples but if they did work 
we would have world peace, a lot of people I know would still be alive, have 
better jobs, immortal cats, etc etc.
 

 So much for taking them at face value, now let's get scientific about how they 
are claimed to work. The theory is that a group of people chanting the names of 
Hindu gods and your jyotish chart, and a simple request for said gods to grant 
you great boons, somehow radiates through a mysterious field of consciousness 
and either enhances your life in the hoped for way or cancels out negative 
influences from things you have done in the past. This puts it into the realm 
of physics, as John Hagelin is always pleased to explain, the thing about 
physics is that it works on high probabilities, if I have an electron say, and 
send it in one direction it will behave in a highly predictable way. Same with 
all other known forces and laws (otherwise they wouldn't be laws). 
 

 Yagyas seem to break this mould of physical predictability. Perhaps because 
jyotish has no evidence backing it up, and the Hindu gods aren't really aspects 
of quantum functioning and this "unified field of consciousness" doesn't exist 
either. As far as current knowledge of physics goes, the whole shebang seems to 
draw a complete blank. Not only does it fail it's own predicted tests but it 
contradicts everything else we know. If it was a failsafe process and always 
worked (rather than, apparently, never) then we'd have to rewrite physics to 
incorporate it. But as it is I don't think Einstein and Dirac have much to 
worry about.
 

 But here's the really interesting thing, you are so convinced that it's a real 
phenomenon that you perhaps think that it's up to me to prove that it doesn't 
work, but really I'm on the side of convincing explanations of the physical 
world and that doesn't include the power of prayer. So it becomes up to you to 
provide evidence that said powers do work. Extraordinary claims require 
extraordinary evidence. Currently I see no evidence that yagya work. QED.
 

 It is awfully hard to discuss statements with no basis to them. You may have 
some anecdotal evidence, but that hardly meets a scientific threshold. 
 

 Thank you. This is exactly what I would ask you to provide. Let's see some 
actual evidence instead of anecdotal evidence.
 

 The status quo within the TMO is that yagyas are performed for money. Setting 
yourself against that is a tall order, and to do so definitively requires more 
than simple assertions. The TMO is far from perfect and I haven't seen any 
arguments to the contrary here on FFL. That is a good baseline. 
 

 You now seem confused I have never set myself against the idea that yagya are 
performed for money. And why do you use the term "baseline"? It's rather out of 
context here. A baseline for yagya would be the expected  result of random 
human interaction. Proof that yagya work would be a significant change in those 
interactions, we'd notice sudden changes, things like world peace (we've been 
paying for yagyas for that for decades now) or sick people getting better 
(remember the claim of the very expensive health yagya is that they improve 
your health). Basically, if we had a way of influencing run-of-the-mill events 
we'd notioce it every time we did a yagya.
 

 But challenging the validity of individual programs takes more than strong 
statements that they don't work. Those that do so repeatedly begin to sound an 
awful lot like fundamentalists of any stripe, and

have world peace or a vastu village in the north of England (a lot of money was 
raised for yagyas for both). My friend with the migraines still has them 
despite spending $25,000 on these prayers. These are a few examples and you 
might say we can't draw big conclusions from small samples but if they did work 
we would have world peace, a lot of people I know would still be alive, have 
better jobs, immortal cats, etc etc.
 

 So much for taking them at face value, now let's get scientific about how they 
are claimed to work. The theory is that a group of people chanting the names of 
Hindu gods and your jyotish chart, and a simple request for said gods to grant 
you great boons, somehow radiates through a mysterious field of consciousness 
and either enhances your life in the hoped for way or cancels out negative 
influences from things you have done in the past. This puts it into the realm 
of physics, as John Hagelin is always pleased to explain, the thing about 
physics is that it works on high probabilities, if I have an electron say, and 
send it in one direction it will behave in a highly predictable way. Same with 
all other known forces and laws (otherwise they wouldn't be laws). 
 

 Yagyas seem to break this mould of physical predictability. Perhaps because 
jyotish has no evidence backing it up, and the Hindu gods aren't really aspects 
of quantum functioning and this "unified field of consciousness" doesn't exist 
either. As far as current knowledge of physics goes, the whole shebang seems to 
draw a complete blank. Not only does it fail it's own predicted tests but it 
contradicts everything else we know. If it was a failsafe process and always 
worked (rather than, apparently, never) then we'd have to rewrite physics to 
incorporate it. But as it is I don't think Einstein and Dirac have much to 
worry about.
 

 But here's the really interesting thing, you are so convinced that it's a real 
phenomenon that you perhaps think that it's up to me to prove that it doesn't 
work, but really I'm on the side of convincing explanations of the physical 
world and that doesn't include the power of prayer. So it becomes up to you to 
provide evidence that said powers do work. Extraordinary claims require 
extraordinary evidence. Currently I see no evidence that yagya work. QED.
 

 It is awfully hard to discuss statements with no basis to them. You may have 
some anecdotal evidence, but that hardly meets a scientific threshold. 
 

 Thank you. This is exactly what I would ask you to provide. Let's see some 
actual evidence instead of anecdotal evidence.
 

 The status quo within the TMO is that yagyas are performed for money. Setting 
yourself against that is a tall order, and to do so definitively requires more 
than simple assertions. The TMO is far from perfect and I haven't seen any 
arguments to the contrary here on FFL. That is a good baseline. 
 

 You now seem confused I have never set myself against the idea that yagya are 
performed for money. And why do you use the term "baseline"? It's rather out of 
context here. A baseline for yagya would be the expected  result of random 
human interaction. Proof that yagya work would be a significant change in those 
interactions, we'd notice sudden changes, things like world peace (we've been 
paying for yagyas for that for decades now) or sick people getting better 
(remember the claim of the very expensive health yagya is that they improve 
your health). Basically, if we had a way of influencing run-of-the-mill events 
we'd notioce it every time we did a yagya.
 

 But challenging the validity of individual programs takes more than strong 
statements that they don't work. Those that do so repeatedly begin to sound an 
awful lot like fundamentalists of any stripe, and I ask myself, why? Why are 
these baseless statements made again and again? 
 

 Simply because nobody has tried to prove the claims that are made and that 
people spend a lot of money on. And this is odd because the TMO claims to be a 
scientific organisation! You'd think they'd want hard evidence as so much 
depends on people keeping up the donations.
 

 There is much to be said for advancing ideas through discourse, but there must 
be something there. Fundamentalism doesn't fit that definition. The anti-TM

Going back into this, your original assertions were that yagyas don't work and 
people should not spend their money on them, and possibly that the TMO takes 
the money without having yagyas performed.  

 Given that there is no meaningful data whatsoever to back up either of these 
statements, why should they be seen as scientific? It is awfully hard to 
discuss statements with no basis to them. You may have some anecdotal evidence, 
but that hardly meets a scientific threshold.

 Pretty obvious that Salyavin considers himself "a scientist", like many of the 
other anti-TMers. But scientists gain success by understanding how the world 
works, not by closing themselves off to phenomena they don't understand. 
 

 Actually what happens is we look at the phenomena we don't understand to see 
if it is actually something rather than nothing. If I had "closed myself off" 
to anything I wouldn't have learned TM, read the books, went to the lectures, 
spent years on courses and gained a good working knowledge of the principles 
involved in Marshy's vedic "science".
 

 I never met a scientist who wasn't curious but ideas can be put into 
categories, those that seem to accurately reflect the way the world works, and 
those that don't. Science works by finding the tricky question to ask to see 
into which of those categories to put things. If you say that prayers to Hindu 
gods will create world peace and then you go ahead and it doesn't happen you've 
learned something about the power of prayer. That's an easy one to do though, 
no need of special measuring equipment.
 

 The anti-TMers act more like a lost and superstitious jungle tribe than a 
group trying to make sense of anything, and I will leave it at that.
 

 Good for you.
 

 As I said I'm not an anti-TMer, as I enjoy it. What I don't enjoy is the 
dubious supporting philosophy, it could be seen as a bit of harmless fun but 
every expensive add-on is based on you first accepting the principle that 
consciousness is some sort of unified field. This is where I say that you have 
to come up with some evidence and that can simply be a way that it might 
physically work without overthrowing everything else we know - this wouldn't be 
a bad thing as the first principle of science is that it must keep moving 
forward, as soon as you think you know the truth it stops, but extraordinary 
claims require extraordinary evidence and I haven't seen any evidence at all.
 

 This is the main difference between science and religion, science doesn't move 
on unless it thinks it's got a handle on what's happening whereas religions 
assume they already know and that any contrarians that come along must be a 
lost and superstitious tribe.
 

 This is all funny when you consider the emphasis that the TMO puts on science, 
yet they are strangely reluctant to use the power of scientific method to 
support what they sell. Apart from TM of course which has a lot of interesting 
thing about it that withstand study. I know people who would disagree with that 
as they really do think it doesn't work. Best we can say is that the results 
can be a mixed bag it seems.

several thousand years, so there is no reason they should suddenly stop 
working, just because we have several hundred years of Newtonian science under 
our belt. Apples and oranges. Pretty obvious that Salyavin considers himself "a 
scientist", like many of the other anti-TMers. But scientists gain success by 
understanding how the world works, not by closing themselves off to phenomena 
they don't understand. The anti-TMers act more like a lost and superstitious 
jungle tribe than a group trying to make sense of anything, and I will leave it 
at that.

I do not have any problem with your content here. It is interesting and I 
appreciate it though to assert this is not also about something religious 
between some cohort of anti-TMO’ers and some TB’er pro-TMO’ers I feel would

find Ollie raised a valid and substantial point further below here about this.
 

  The Religious Cohort of Anti-TM,, 
 

 
 Theirs is not about religion? The anti-TM'ers?  Not?  That is what the TM’ers 
thought too when they were dragged in to Federal Court by ultra religious 
fanaticism on the other side tracking it down.  TM responding..“We’re not a 
religion.” and SCI was found in criteria studied to be a (non-theistic) 
religion.  Some small cohort of anti-TM’ers out on the internet seems about as 
religious by criteria in their pursuit of denial of TMO meditationism.   Or as 
7Ray says further below, how they ‘each became  tyrants’.

 There's a lot of ways of answering this. Perhaps the reason yours work is 
because they weren't done by the TMO, somebody actually did them 
 

 But that's a joke of course. I'm sure that a lot people think someone saying a 
prayer for them actually affects things but I don't believe it. Your experience 
could be the one double-six among the many thousands that didn't do anything 
because something happening because someone prays for you is a coincidence and 
bound to happen sooner or later, nothing else.
 

 My experience is that an awful lot of people spend an awful lot of money on 
something they don't even witness. Birthdays, looking for a new job, dying 
cats, dying friends, building a new house, the list is probably endless. But 
I've never seen a remotely convincing effect, the people of Skelmersdale spent 
many many thousands on yagya's to help them find land for a new vastu site but 
didn't get one they liked. Why didn't the laws of nature support them? Isolated 
example? Hardly! I could go on. And on. And on. And on. Basically they are crap 
because they don't work, and the theory behind the idea doesn't even hold 
water. 
 

 I was told that my jyotish chart revealed I had some bad karma returning and 
needed yagya's to prevent it's arrival. Obviously I declined and settled back 
to see what the bad karma might be, but whadya know? You guessed it, nothing 
happened. What I did there was science. Science is how we learn not to kid 
ourselves.
 

 But they are such a major part of living the vedic life that people hand over 
the cash at the drop of a hat. Sick friend? Yagya. Still sick? Yagya. Dead 
friend? Yagya to help him in his next life. I'd be fascinated to know just how 
much this rakes in for the TMO and all on a glaring lack of evidence. I don't 
care if people believe it, I jsut want to know why they are so expensive?
 

 And look at how they are sold in the TMO? Some newbie asked the teacher at the 
local centre what they were and he described them as a "sophisticated vedic 
recipe to influence future events from the highest level of nature's 
functioning" Sounds pretty good yes? What they do is sit around a model of 
vishnu's cock and flick ghee at it while asking the gods to intervene on your 
behalf. That's it. Really.
 

 And I'd like to know where the few hundred pundits in India find the time to 
do them all? Either they don't take very long or they do them en masse. But I'm 
not accusing them of not doing them, I'm just curious as to how they find the 
time.
 

 I know someone who had five health yagyas for migraine, I asked why they 
needed five if they are so good? All they said was "It probably works on a 
level I'm not aware of". Brilliant bit of brainwashing by the Reesh, sell 
something that doesn't work and tell them it does work! That was $25,000 for 
someone, for nothing. And nobody apart from me ever questions it. Go figure

I am probably one of the few people here who would venture to remark that (and 
this is based on my own experience), yagyas work, although the ones done for me 
were not done through the TMO. What intrigues me about Salyavin's tirades is 
his claim that the TMO actually does not even perform the yagyas people pay 
them to do. I have not heard this before and wonder how anyone would know that 
it is true. It is one thing to say the yagyas do not work, but quite another to 
claim that they are never even performed.

 Oh geez, how to get the anti TM'ers having a hissy fit - tell them they are 
preaching a sort of religion. The thing is, everyone has their own opinion 
about a thing but to continually harp away on this and that, things we have all 
heard a thousand times from them (and which many I agree with) is brutally 
repetitive, unimaginative and just plain boring. I get the message, "You think 
MMY is a putz and those who believe in, work for or give money to are also 
putzes." Got it.

 If Salyavin read my posts, he'd know I've said I'd tell folks where it came

 Salyavin's "information" about King Tony is, at best, third-hand. It came from 
two posts to FFL2 by JamesAlan735 (who used to post to FFL) recounting a dinner 
conversation he claims to have had with a friend, someone said to be in the

 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FFL-2/conversations/messages/9970
 

 JamesAlan, however, like Barry, happens to be one of those people who delight 
in making stuff up and presenting it as if it were established fact. He made 
two different posts to FFL2, for example, in which he asserted that my extended 
absence from FFL not long ago was due to my having had "a series of strokes."
 

 I have never had even one stroke. He made this up out of whole cloth.
 

 Now, that doesn't *necessarily* mean JamesAlan also made up the story about 
the dinner conversation with his friend. But it's a red flag, IMHO, that should 
lead one to insist on confirmation of the dinner-conversation story from 
someone known to be well informed and honest.
 
 

 That Salyavin has declined to say where he got his "information," given the 
nature of its source, tells me he is aware that it's iffy but doesn't want 
FFLers to know that.
 

 But you can all make up your own minds about the reliability of this TMO/Tony 
tale.

 I figure most of those investing in or tooting the horn for yagya donations 
are grown adults who can decide if they want to spend their money on chanting 
or on a fitbit or the latest VW convertible. 
 

 But can they decide? When you're embroiled in a cult you can really start to 
believe what they tell you as I'm sure you're aware. Obviously it's up to 
people to become scientifically aware and think their way out of the stupidity 
before it bankrupts them or they end up moving to a town where this sort of 
excuse for thinking is taken so much for granted that it becomes a given rather 
than the utterly astonishing load of pseudo-scientific nonsense that it 
actually is.
 

 Grown ups can believe anything they like, but if people you know are 
habitually throwing their money into a hole in the ground - or in this case 
real estate in Florida - when they think they are creating some sort of peace 
creating group of Indian chanters the we owe it to them to darw it to their 
attention or we aren't very good friends.
 

 If you knew someone who was being scammed by a devious pension plan wouldn't 
you tell them if you knew? Yet the TMO gets many millions from selling prayers 
and all the while setting up a pseudo-scientific justification in the shape of 
Marshy's crap lectures about the unified field and continuing with John 
Hagelin's equally crap videos about string theory. It's a deliberate attempt to 
mis-sell something. The funny thing is they claim to be interested in science 
and yet they never put any of the more dubious products on the TM price list 
under any sort of serious scrutiny.
 

 Now, this discussion about Nader and how he could possibly have so much money 
(how much does he have? ) seems like many are jumping to conclusions about his 
guilt with regard to the Movement handing over millions of dollars to him for 
some reason. Why would they do this? Is he worth that much to them? I don't 
know Nader from a hole in the ground other than, I believe, he possesses a gold 
outfit complete with crown in his closet. I suggest people get some hard facts 
before proclaiming his guilt from the rooftops. BTW, where did you get your

illness, birthdays, dying pets, change the weather etc etc.
 

 To rake in this much cash for something that doesn't work AND not spend it on 
what you've been claiming to spend in on is indefensible.
 

 Non-profit organisations should have open books so we can see how much profit 
it is they don't have.
 

 

 If the TM Movement is a non profit then according to this they need to make 
their financials public, according to this. Have you tried to get this kind of 
information, Sal? I couldn't care less how much they have or what they do with 
it but maybe you should do some digging and report back for all those that do 
care.
 

 I have indeed tried, but I don't have all day to search for this stuff. The 
names of trusts have to be known and it isn't as simple as just doing a search 
on "Marshy etc". Besides, an organisation that would deliberately con money out 
of it's faithful followers might deliberately make it difficult to track down 
perhaps? And a lot of it's in India, do they publish the figures anywhere? I 
wouldn't know where to start.
 

 Other than "Vedaland" - where a slick PR campaign of dubious phone polls and 
financial predictions was put together to impress high earning people for a 
minimum $50,000 investment. The guy designing it (Doug Henning) was on his 
death bed, which didn't get a mention. There was of course no apology - I've 
seen plenty of scam videos featuring John Hagelin, including a fake interview 
with a supposed TV journalist about how fantastic all his research is. Things 
like this are carefully calculated to make a dopey observer on a rounding 
course think it's more widely accepted than it really is. And that isn't even 
getting going on his abuse of physics in using string theory to explain yagyas 
or jyotish etc!
 

 So no, I don't trust them, it's obvious they'll step over legal and moral 
boundaries to make money - it's illegal to raise funds for projects that aren't 
going to happen or to keep the money without offering a refund if a project 
falls apart - in Europe anyway, maybe America has different values for 
charities? I doubt it though.
 

 The lone protesting voice in all of this was mine, of course. I was told to 
"Shut up, stop rocking the boat, Marshy knows what he's doing, the money goes 
to the best place, sometimes we raise money and Marshy senses that natural law 
has changed and it's suddenly needed elsewhere" etc. Typical cult apologetics, 
people in the TMO don't last long if they ask tricky questions - I sure didn't 
-  but it surprises me that you don't care, people round here are your friends 
aren't they? 
 

 Here is the thing, Sal. I left the TM movement when I decided Robin Carlsen 
was an interesting guy back in 1983. One of the things that made him so 
interesting was his utter contempt for the TM Movement - not MMY - but the 
Movement. I have always been a scofflaw and while at MIU and afterwards this 
was no exception. I had no interest in investing in anything (other than a 
necklace of crystals from the Crest Jewel in FF) and I certainly would have 
never gotten involved in building palaces or giving money for such a thing to 
be undertaken. I would never pay for a yagya or give $1m to become a Raja 
(although I could have). I got my education at MIU and moved to New Jersey and 
other than 3.5 years skipping around the US with Robin I haven't thought of the 
TM Movement since 1986. 
 

 Out of the blue I find myself engaging on FFL a few years ago and suddenly I 
see a lot of disgruntled people still talking about Maharishi or the lousy time 
they had baking bread in the MIU kitchen. I don't like the stuffed shirts in 
the Movement any more than you do and while reading FFL I have learned a lot 
about all sorts of zany plans to build this Peace Palace or that giant lingam 
dedicated to Maharishi's manhood or whatever they are

Here in town all kinds of people tell me all kinds of information hoping to 
have perspectives shared more widely on FFL.  This comes along as E-mail from 
lurkers too using the FFL home page. 
 

 I also forward links direct to relevant posts on FFL to people who would be 
interested.  I did that with this thread on 'the new lot'. The e-mail excerpted 
below here came from a credible person inside the TMO who I know. 
 

 As things come in that are written as good journalism relevant to Farifield 
life I just won’t use people’s names in protecting people's privacy.  As there 
is good substantial content then names don’t necessarily matter.   People, both 
members and non-members of FFL, send all kinds of insight about Fairfield life 
hoping to have them shared with the community, anonymously. That is fine.

We’ll know more about this shortly from the top down.  Maharaja will be in 
Fairfield speaking to the meditating community on Monday.  

 

So the lot evidently is about achieving proper vastu and no movement money was 
used.  That does not mean that some Movement community courtier might not have 
furnish some money being helpful buying a little access, influence or favor of 
the Maharaja.  We are not in Kansas?  Someone else who seems to know the Naders 
says that they do not have that kind of money, that they are being helped.

right now.  Once again TM's integrity is an open question.
 

 They have to do it if they want to retain any credibility here.
 

 How much do they make from yagya's worldwide? We know it's $5 million per 
annum from the monthly national one in the US but how much for all the extra 
private ones. If it's anything like the UK people will be getting them for 
illness, birthdays, dying pets, change the weather etc etc.
 

 To rake in this much cash for something that doesn't work AND not spend it on 
what you've been claiming to spend in on is indefensible.
 

 Non-profit organisations should have open books so we can see how much profit 
it is they don't have.
 

 

 If the TM Movement is a non profit then according to this they need to make 
their financials public, according to this. Have you tried to get this kind of 
information, Sal? I couldn't care less how much they have or what they do with 
it but maybe you should do some digging and report back for all those that do 
care.

 I just read this. Isn't Tony Nader one of the Rajas? Or is he just a 
scientist/doctor? Not having been a follower of what goes on in the TM Movement 
since 1985 I presume this is news - the fact that he has some bucks? If you're 
a Raja don't you have had to have donated a wheelbarrow full of money or 
something? If that is the case, the amount is $1m (?) then it comes as no 
surprise that someone has a lot more than that in their bank account. Only an 
idiot would donate $1m and not have at least $10m in the bank, minimum.

 Oh dear, well instead of lamenting your friends' gullibility and pulling your 
hair out, why not make it your mission to do some detective work and find out 
for sure where Dr Nader is getting his money from? I'm sure you could hire some 
investigative tax detective if you can't figure out how to do it yourself. 
Maybe you should write him a letter and ask him personally how he has managed 
to become a millionaire? For me, I hardly think having a few million dollars as 
a highly-trained professional is unusual but every man to his own belief. 
Perhaps if you ask nicely, Tony will even perform a yagya or two just to show 
his good faith.

 They have to do it if they want to retain any credibility here.
 

 How much do they make from yagya's worldwide? We know it's $5 million per 
annum from the monthly national one in the US but how much for all the extra 
private ones. If it's anything like the UK people will be getting them for 
illness, birthdays, dying pets, change the weather etc etc.
 

 To rake in this much cash for something that doesn't work AND not spend it on 
what you've been claiming to spend in on is indefensible.
 

 Non-profit organisations should have open books so we can see how much profit 
it is they don't have.

 I just read this. Isn't Tony Nader one of the Rajas? Or is he just a 
scientist/doctor? Not having been a follower of what goes on in the TM Movement 
since 1985 I presume this is news - the fact that he has some bucks? If you're 
a Raja don't you have had to have donated a wheelbarrow full of money or 
something? If that is the case, the amount is $1m (?) then it comes as no 
surprise that someone has a lot more than that in their bank account. Only an 
idiot would donate $1m and not have at least $10m in the bank, minimum.

You're frickin' hilarious. I wasn't sure if he was supposed to, as a Raja, 
declare lifelong celibacy, give away all earthly goods, swear off anything to 
eat except stale bread and water and wander the world washing the feet of 
beggars. On the other hand, with a title like "Raja" I would expect some sort 
of palatial digs in Palm Beach and a host of attentive slaves at his beck and

Yeah, he be the MAHARAJA! I would guess his family has money, especially if 
he's a doctor and hung out with Maharishi a lot. I doubt he has had to spend 
much time in an emergency room or maintain a practice  fixing up people to pay 
off student loans.
As for some of these other people who became rajas and ranis, I've heard at 
least one and maybe more had to virtually beg for assistance to pay the million 
dollar fee. The TM movement is and always been full of idiots. I have my doubts 
as to whether many could have made it in the real world.

I just read this. Isn't Tony Nader one of the Rajas? Or is he just a 
scientist/doctor? Not having been a follower of what goes on in the TM Movement 
since 1985 I presume this is news - the fact that he has some bucks? If you're 
a Raja don't you have had to have donated a wheelbarrow full of money or 
something? If that is the case, the amount is $1m (?) then it comes as no 
surprise that someone has a lot more than that in their bank account. Only an 
idiot would donate $1m and not have at least $10m in the bank, minimum.
