That's what I think; like originally I heard, that when they bought the original college property there, in FF; That the asking price was around: $12-13 million. Much of it was past bills as the old Parsons College, left a huge debt, to the town, and the property was becoming an overgrown weedy eye-sore, for FF. So, I believe, Maharishi negotiated a price for the University property of around $2 million. Good Deal!!, I'd say... Also, it is a tradition in India, to always 'negotiate' the best deal possible; almost like it is stupid, not to think of 'all ways', to get a better deal; Almost, like if you feel you have 'good karma'; And something comes your way; You let the 'bad karma', of the seller; Work to your benefit... I think that's the psychology behind these negotiating tactics. R.G.
