What a timely and vital contribution on Roma (below). Congratulations to the esteemed writer for his knowledge and motivation.
We ask, "What kind of GOVERNMENT or PARLIAMENT do we have in PARTITIONED India that is only concerned with keeping the natives ignorant of their own "tribe" or family AT HOME and scattered far and wide, some due to previous INVASIONS as in the 11th century AD and some SINCE 1947 due to Partition and subsequent mismanagement, corruption and death or neglect of moral fibre and NATIVE religions of our nation as typified by Nehru's deletion of the word HINDU from his Constitution straight after CONCEDING Islam in our five provinces turned over to separatist ISLAM overnight, and later by arrogant rule by semi dictator Indira "Gandhi" (who married Feroze KHAN) and her notorious rootless son who brought a foreign female and became notorious as "BOFORS' Chor".
Among those badly or deliberately neglected and BETRAYED were the happy and peaceful Buddhists of Chittagong, Skardu, Baltistan and Gilgit and the Hindus of North & even South Kashmir, East Bengal and Sindh, and the prosperous INDIAN settlements in Uganda, Fiji and Northern Sri Lanka as well all the Shinti and Roma, the lost children of Bharatvarsha.
While Bharat was the lucrative target for all the PREDATORS from the Middle East and the Europeans until 1947 the country that was partitioned with more Muslims left inside than driven outside, has been virtually suffocating under ONE dynasty since. We see the power and might of Italian born Catholic Sonia "Gandhi" and even her offspring Priyenka and Rahul who are provided security at the expense of poor tax payers as if they were royalty.
Among the tragic victims of this neglect are the Roma and Shinti. A nationalist, and truly patriotic, Government would have taken stock of situation and created a special Ministry for recovery and consolidation of our lost and wasted assets.
There appears to be a sham of an office in Chandigarh that is supposed to be responsible for gypsies but its role has not been appreciated or even understood. Just recall the last international Roma Conference held there over a decade ago and see who was the "man from government"? Did he have a clue to the history of western India where repeated invasions drove the whole population away?
As long as the Hindu nation does not take stock of its own affairs and as long as the Hindu nation does not grasp the implications of partition of 1947 and snatch its destiny from dynasty, India will develop in a lopsided manner. We shall certainly go on admiring those big countries like China and small countries like Czech Republic and Lithuania where national affairs are firmly in the hands of natives.
There is NO sign of the likes of Khans of Boollywood there who mesmerise the nation, nor a prime minister's son or daughter becoming the prime minister. With regard to latter, let us see the gruelling dual between Obama and Hillary in the USA. How tenaciously are they FIGHTING for their own nomination. Had it been our own Bharatvarsha, Clinton's wife Hillary would have AUTOMATICALLY become the President after her husband.

Black money India top the list
Black Money In Swiss Bank ~ Swiss Banking Association report 2006
by Naman Sood on Apr 15, 2008 01:44 PM
Deposits in Banks located in the territory of Switzerland by nationals of following countries
Top 5 India---- $1456 billion
Russia----- $470 billion
UK-------- $390 billion
Ukraine $100 billion

Now do the math India with $1456 billion or $1.4 trillion has more money in Swiss banks
than rest of the world COMBINED.
Public loot since 1947: Let us bring back our money
M R Venkatesh April 15, 2008 09:34 IST
It is one of the biggest loots witnessed by mankind -- the loot of the aam aadmi (common man) since 1947 by his brethren occupying public office.
It has been orchestrated by politicians, bureaucrats and some businessmen.
The list is almost all-encompassing. No wonder, everyone in India loots with impunity and without any fear.
What is even more depressing in that this ill-gotten wealth of ours has been stashed away abroad into secret bank accounts located in some of the world's best known tax havens.
And to that extent the Indian economy has been striped of its wealth.
Ordinary Indians may not be exactly aware of how such secret accounts operate and what are the rules and regulations that go on to govern such tax havens.
However, one may well be aware of 'Swiss bank accounts,' the shorthand for murky dealings, secrecy and of course pilferage from developing countries into rich developed ones.
In fact, some finance experts and economists believe tax havens to be a conspiracy of the western world against the poor countries.
By allowing the proliferation of tax havens in the twentieth century, the western world explicitly encourages the movement of scarce capital from the developing countries to the rich.
In March 2005, the Tax Justice Network (TJN) published a research finding demonstrating that $11.5 trillion of personal wealth was held offshore by rich individuals across the globe.
The findings estimated that a large proportion of this wealth was managed from some 70 tax havens.
Further, augmenting these studies of TJN, Raymond Baker -- in his widely celebrated book titled Capitalism's Achilles Heel: Dirty Money and How to Renew the Free Market System -- estimates that at least $5 trillion have been shifted out of poorer countries to the West since the mid-1970s. It is further estimated by experts that one per cent of the world's population holds more than 57 per cent of total global wealth, routing it invariably through these tax havens. How much of this is from India is anybody's guess. What is to be noted here is that most of the wealth of Indians parked in these tax havens is illegitimate money acquired through corrupt means. Naturally the secrecy associated with the bank accounts in such places is central to the issue, not their low tax rates as the term 'tax havens' suggests. Remember Bofors and how India could not trace the ultimate beneficiary of those transactions because of the secrecy associated with these bank accounts?

why Hindus lost
Think it overWas caste a decisive factor in India’s defeat?By M.S.N. Menon
No, I do not think so, Why? Because the caste system was not so oppressive as is being made out. Let us see what A.L. Basham has to say on the matter. He says: “In no other part of the world were the relations of man and man and of a man and the state as fair and humane” as in India. (The wonder that was India). He was perhaps comparing the lot of the Scheduled Castes in India with the lot of the slaves in Greece and Rome. It is, therefore, wrong to say that the caste system was responsible for the defeat of the Hindus at the hands of the Muslim invaders. There is no evidence that the Scheduled Castes were ready to join hands with the invaders against their so-called “tormentors”. It is also wrong to say that Vaishyas and Shudras did not take part in battles. They did. Vastupala, the great warrior under the Chalukya king Lavanaprasada, declares with great pride: “It is a delusion to think that the Kshatriyas alone can fight and not vaniks (merchants). Did not Ambada, a vanik kill Mallikarjuna, the warrior, in battle? I, a vanik, am as well known in the shops as in the battlefield.” (Art of War in Ancient India by Prof. P.C. Chakravarty) The Kashmiri and Hoyasala (Mysore) kings recruited Shudras for their armies. Shudras could attain imperial positions under the Rajput rulers. The ruler of Sind during the visit of Juan Chwang, the Chinese pilgrim, was a Shudra. The Nandas were Shudras. And in order to protect Hinduism and the Hindu society, Shankara created ten Saiva acetic orders, made up largely of Shudra recruits. He also freed these para-military forces from the caste system. What can we infer from all these? We can infer that the Vaishyas and Shudras had not accepted the caste system, that they were as good fighters as the Kshatriyas, that the kings had no objection to the recruitment of Shudras as soldiers, that Shankara did not believe in the caste system, that the orders he created had no caste. Not only these. The lower orders of Hindu society could hold high positions in the state. Thus, Kumarapala, the Chalukya king, appointed Sajjana as governor of Chittor, He was a potter. It is such recognition of their worth that kept the Shudras within the Hindu fold. Jawaharlal Nehru said that the caste system was flexible before the Muslim advent, which is why it was bearable. There is an impression that the caste system was deeply entrenched all over India. Not true. It was prevalent only in some parts of the country. Thus, it had no deep roots in the South, in Sind, Magadha and Anga. In Kerala, the entire army was made up of the so-called Shudras. The Himalayan territory was mlecha region. The ultimate damage of the caste system, says Nehru, was what it did to the self -respect of the lower orders of Hindu society. It degraded a mass of human beings and gave them no opportunity to get out of their predicament. This feeling of degradation might have warped their outlook and their willingness to fight for their country. But we can only speculate on these matters. It is time to ask the question: did caste cause our defeat? I believe caste was only a marginal factor. It was not for want of brave men that the Hindus got defeated. It was not even because the Muslims were superior. It was because, for the first time, the Hindus, a highly civilised people were facing a barbarous enemy who had no rules of war and were prepared to take to unheard of brutalities. Thus, we have Haajaj, the governor of Iraq, exhorting bin Qasim to follow the injunction of Allah in the Quran (47.4) that is to strike off the head of any infidel. No wonder, when Debal, capital of Sind, fell to bin Qasim, he ordered the massacre of the entire population. The killing went on for three full days. And the loot went on for even longer. Serge Trifkovic writes (The Sword of the Prophet): “The massacres perpetrated by Muslims in India are without parallel in history.” This is confirmed by Ziyauddin Burani, a contemporary of Khusrau. He says that “wars against Hindus were not ordinary wars. They were massacres of extermination.” There are many such instances. Amir Khusrau writes: Had not the Shariah granted exemption from death by payment of the poll tax (Jaziya), “the very name of Hind, root and brach, would have been extinguished.” And Al-Biruni himself writes that the invasions of Mahmud utterly ruined the prosperity of the country. “The Hindus became like atoms of dust scattered in all directions.” The invaders singled out the Rajputs and their families for massacre. This must have demoralised the Rajputs. Remember, dear Reader, during the Second World War, the Japanese, surrendered to the Allies, although they were far more superior to the American men. Why did they do it? Because the ruthless Americans were ready to exterminate the Japanese. The Hindus were in a similar plight. They were face to face with an enemy who observed no rules of war, who were determined to exterminate the Hindus. Resistance would have brought extermination. I think it was this dilemma which forced the collapse of the Hindu resistance. Not because of caste factors. (But I am not making any “final statement”)

Invason of India
Daily demographic invasion of IndiaBy J.G. Arora
Tragically, the Indian government, mainstream media and all major political parties are silent spectators when Bharat is being grabbed bit by bit by Pak-Bangla terrorists and infiltrators everyday. Despite the Supreme Court’s judgments, no infiltrator has been deported by the government. Rather, the government is busy with terrorist and infiltrator-friendly ‘confidence building measures’ like soft borders, peace talks, Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangladesh bus and rail links, which are bringing more and more Pak-Bangla nationals into India everyday. And instead of being deported, infiltrators are being given voting rights.
According to Barbara W. Tuchman, American historian and author of The March of Folly, “disasters of history are the result of government’s folly and perverse persistence in pursuing the policies contrary to national interests.” Indian government’s persistent inaction against demographic invasion by crores of Pak-Bangla infiltrators is generating a historical disaster since the said invasion aims to dismember India and plant more Pakistans and Bangladeshs on Indian soil. Bharat Varsha comprising the present day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Afghanistan etc. used to be Hindu land with zero Muslim population till Muhammad bin Qasim’s Arab army attacked Sindh in 711. Despite fighting valiantly to defend their dharma and motherland during repeated Muslim invasions for over a thousand years, Hindus lost Afghanistan in 987, and present day Pakistan and Bangladesh to Muslims in 1947. After 1947, truncated India i.e. Bharat has seen genocide and eviction of Hindus from Muslim majority Kashmir. Many Hindus apprehend that because of higher Muslim growth rate and infiltration from Pakistan and Bangladesh, they in India too will be outnumbered by Muslims in a few decades, and face the misery undergone by Hindus in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, which also used to be Hindu lands. Pak-Bangla axis To prevent plantation of more Pakistans and Bangladeshs on Indian soil, one must know how Pakistan and Bangladesh were created. After overthrow of Muslim rule, India was under the British from 1857 to 1947. Formed in 1906, Muslim League demanded Pakistan in 1940 with Muhammad Ali Jinnah proclaiming that Hindus and Muslims belonged to two different religions, civilisations and nations which could never live together in one country; and demanding Pakistan, a separate country for Muslims, comprising Muslim majority areas in India. In 1945-46 elections, Muslims voted for creation of Pakistan. In 1947, the Muslims got a third of Bharat’s land as Pakistan. In 1971, East Pakistan became Bangladesh while West Pakistan was renamed as Pakistan. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh are Islamic Republics and have driven out most of Hindus and Sikhs from their land. However, most of Indian Muslims who had demanded Pakistan and exchange of population did not go to Pakistan. Rather, the present percentage of Muslim population in India is much higher than that in 1947. Pakistani army, which is ideologically anti-Hindu and anti-Bharat, actually rules Pakistan and nurtures terrorism. In their bid to dismember and bleed India through “a thousand cuts”, Pakistan and Bangladesh have sent countless terrorists and crores of their nationals into India. At present, Hindu civilisation is a demographically challenged civilisation. Because of infiltration, many districts in India bordering Bangladesh have seen abnormal increase in Muslim population. In 1996 itself, Shri T.V. Rajeshwar, former Intelligence Bureau Chief (and the present U.P. Governor) had warned about emergence of one more Islamic country because of Bangladeshi infiltration. In 1998, Shri S.K. Sinha, the then Governor of Assam, also sounded similar caution. Warnings of Shri T.V. Rajeshwar and Shri S.K. Sinha have been fortified by census of 2001. Pak-Bangla infiltrators are entering India through many points on India’s soft borders everyday. With each passing day, India is being made more Islamic and less Hindu. No action on Supreme Court’s judgments AASU leader Sarbanand Sonowal took the issue of Bangladeshi infiltration to the Supreme Court. By its judgment dated July 12, 2005, Supreme Court struck down the Illegal Migrants (D.T.) Act, 1983 as unconstitutional; and termed Bangladeshi infiltration as “external aggression” and directed that “Bangladeshi nationals who have trespassed into Assam or are living in other parts of the country have no legal right of any kind to remain in India and they are liable to be deported.” Shockingly, instead of deporting the infiltrators, on Februaty 10, 2006, UPA government brought in the Foreigners (Tribunals for Assam) Order to nullify the apex Court’s judgment. But on December 5, 2006, Supreme Court quashed this Order also as unconstitutional, and called for implementation of its earlier judgment dated July 12, 2005 for deporting illegal immigrants. Despite the Supreme Court’s above-mentioned judgments, no infiltrator has been deported by the government. Rather, the government is busy with terrorist and infiltrator-friendly ‘confidence building measures’ like soft borders, peace talks, Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangladesh bus and rail links, which are bringing more and more Pak-Bangla nationals into India everyday. And instead of being deported, infiltrators are being given voting rights. Tragically, the Indian government, mainstream media and all major political parties are silent spectators when Bharat is being grabbed bit by bit by Pak-Bangla terrorists and infiltrators everyday. Way out After bravely fighting foreign invaders for over 1,200 years, Bharat has meekly surrendered before Pak-Bangla demographic invasion. We must do everything to save Bharat and its heritage for the coming generations the way our ancestors saved the same for us. Since we cannot expect others to fight our battles, all nationalist organisations and individuals must assert themselves to force the government to act as follows to prevent the creation of more Pakistans and Bangladeshs on Bharat’s land.
i. The Supreme Court’s judgments dated July 12, 2005 and December 5, 2006 must be implemented to deport the infiltrators and curb their daily influx. Infiltrators must be treated as invaders, and not as vote banks.
ii. Since ‘confidence building measures’ with Pakistan and Bangladesh are suicidal for Bharat, all Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangla road and rail journeys, cultural and sports relations, and peace talks must be discontinued.
iii. India must protect its borders to prevent aggressors from entering India.
iv. Enemies must be crushed; not embraced. History teaches the crushing of enemies before the enemies crush us.
v. Terrorist network in Pakistan and Bangladesh must be smashed to take the war into enemy territory.
vi. Any move to form a confederation of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh must be rejected since such a step would help Islamisation of India.I had started this write-up with Barbara W.

Indianness
ESSENCE OF INDIANISMBy Deepak Dasgupta
We, the Indians should convey the message to the world that we can convert this fighting world into a peaceful living abode. Rabindra Nath Tagore dreamt and foresaw that India will lead the world. We must wait to see the day when India will lead the world and we are sure that the day will come soon.
Indianism is a feeling of being an Indian. Irrespective of caste, creed or religion, when we feel ourselves to be the members of a single family, we feel oneness and that is Indianism. It is also part of national integration. Even those who live abroad claim that they are Indians and mainly they claim themselves as Hindu. But what qualities they should have to prove their claim? Let us discuss those factors: In India, there is unity in diversity.
There are people whose languages are different, wear dresses differently, eat with various food habits and above all, living style is also different, but all of them feel and think alike and are proud of being Indian. Even the Non-Resident-Indians (NRI) staying all around the world are proud of being Indian origin. Sometimes when they come to India or come across the people from India or gather in any Indian festival, fair, seminar or assembly, they feel like an Indian. It has been noticed that during their social rituals like marriage, upanayan (sacred thread ceremony) and sradh (post death ceremony), they want that every step be performed according to the Vedic rituals. This means, whether they stay elsewhere scattered around the world, they have not lost their identity as being Indian. We appreciate and salute them. If we want to measure the openness and broadness in Indianism, it is no doubt unparallel. About the word ‘Hindu’, it is defined as Hinan Dushayati iti Hindu, which means that the virtue by means of which the heinous or mental lowness of a person is refined to purity is called Hindu. So, by the word Indianism, it also includes Hindu culture. India is not only a geographically bounded land, it is an idea. Our seers and saints have pronounced, “Ayam nija parovti ganana laghu chetasam, Udaracharitanam tu Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, which means ‘low minded people think that this is mine, that is of yours, but broad minded people always say that people of whole the universe are our kith and kin, our own relatives and everything on this earth is for our mutual benefit. It is also quoted, “Bhrataro manuja sarve, swadesho bhubanatrayam.” This means, all human beings are my brothers and sisters and the universe is my own country. Here we find the extent of feeling oneness with the universal traits. During tarpan, (a ritual by means of which we offer our respect or tribute to our forefathers) we pray to the almighty with the mantra, “Abrahma stamba paryantang Jagat tripyantu.” This means, let all the souls from the biggest to the smallest creations of the universe be free from any bondage, let them get salvation of body, mind and soul. Here, not only we pray for our forefathers but we also pray for all souls. This reveals the extent of broadness of our morality. In Srimad Bhagavad Gita (Ch.V, Sloka 18) Lord Krishna says that to a truly learned person, there is no difference among an educated humble Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a low profile shudra. Our saints, sages and mahatmas have taught us to think for all, to share their well and woe and pray to God to root out their sorrows and to work for all to bring prosperity in their lives. Kaamaey dookhya taptanang praninam arti nasanam,” which means that I don’t want the happiness of being a king of a kingdom, nor the heaven, nor the boon of complete salvation, but I pray for wiping out the sufferings of the poor and the destitute beings. This reveals that a truly devotee of God can not desire for earthly or heavenly happiness, even he refuses the desire of complete salvation or mokhsa or freedom from the cycle of rebirth, but he prays for all and desires that the sufferings of the multitudes be rooted out. Lord Gautam Buddha refused his kingship and preferred to work for the cause of the sufferings of all. From the above quoted versions, I have just tried to establish the truth that in Indianism there is no scope of hatred against anybody. We fight on the streets with each other or in the communities between men to men to get minor interests but we should not forget that we are the descendents of the eternal souls or Amritasya putrah. We should not act or behave in any such manner that the credit of being born as the supreme creation in the universe goes in vain. Man is supreme of all creations in this mortal world. We are born with the theological and theosophical brain and with an eternal soul. We only have the capacity to understand the difference between good and bad, between just and unjust, between right and wrong. We, the Indians should convey the message to the world that we can convert this fighting world into a peaceful living abode. Rabindra Nath Tagore dreamt and foresaw that India will lead the world. We must wait to see the day when India will lead the world and we are sure that the day will come soon. The thought of Mahatma Gandhi, which is based on Gita, has already spread all over the world. He has become a symbol of liberation in the world. He advocated not only to get rid of foreign rule but also to get rid of economic disparity between rich and the poor and administered mantra of social reforms. He taught us to win with truth over falsehood. He has become the symbol of Indianism. He sits above all international barriers showing the path of liberation to all at large. Once, when the Europeans and Americans were rushing to send missionaries to India to civilise our people and to transform them by religious conversion, Swami Vivekananda opposed this foreign idea and stopped their move by saying, “Don’t send missionaries to India, rather, send machineries to India.” At that time India was weak in technology, so we required its development and machine could do that. But from very olden days, India is rich in spiritual and philosophical thoughts and it is the seat of high moral values. At present, India is passing through a traumatic stage to identify its identity. All the people of the world should know about our identity. We should not forget that we are the Amritasya Putrah or the children of the eternal soul. Whether an Indian residing in India or abroad, whether he or she is of Indian origin, it is immaterial but who believes in Indian thought or culture will think about the above guidelines and will live life accordingly.

Indianism is a feeling of being an Indian. Irrespective of caste, creed or religion, when we feel ourselves to be the members of a single family, we feel oneness and that is Indianism. It is also part of national integration. Even those who live abroad claim that they are Indians and mainly they claim themselves as Hindu. But what qualities they should have to prove their claim? Let us discuss those factors: In India, there is unity in diversity.
There are people whose languages are different, wear dresses differently, eat with various food habits and above all, living style is also different, but all of them feel and think alike and are proud of being Indian. Even the Non-Resident-Indians (NRI) staying all around the world are proud of being Indian origin. Sometimes when they come to India or come across the people from India or gather in any Indian festival, fair, seminar or assembly, they feel like an Indian.

Mahrishi mahesh Yogi passes
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi DiesBy Mike Corder, Associated Press WriterThe Associated PressTuesday, February 5, 2008(02-05) 15:37 PST The Hague, Netherlands (AP) -Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a guru to the Beatles whointroduced the West to transcendental meditation,died Tuesday at his home in the Dutch town ofVlodrop, a spokesman said. He was thought to be 91years old."He died peacefully at about 7 p.m.," said BobRoth, a spokesman for the TranscendentalMeditation movement that the Maharishi founded.
Hesaid his death appeared to be due to "naturalcauses, his age."Once dismissed as hippie mysticism, the Hindupractice of mind control that Maharishi taught,called transcendental meditation, gradually gainedmedical respectability.He began teaching TM in 1955 and brought thetechnique to the United States in 1959. But themovement really took off after the Beatles visitedhis ashram in India in 1968, although he had afamous falling out with the rock stars when hediscovered them using drugs at his Himalayanretreat.With the help of celebrity endorsements, Maharishi— a Hindi-language title for Great Seer — parlayedhis interpretations of ancient scripture into amulti-million- dollar global empire.After 50 years of teaching, Maharishi turned tolarger themes, with grand designs to harness thepower of group meditation to create world peaceand to mobilize his devotees to banish povertyfrom the earth.Maharishi's roster of famous meditators ran fromThe Rolling Stones to Clint Eastwood and new agepreacher Deepak Chopra.Director David Lynch, creator of dark and violentfilms, lectured at college campuses about the"ocean of tranquility" he found in more than 30years of practicing transcendental meditation.Some 5 million people devoted 20 minutes everymorning and evening reciting a simple sound, ormantra, and delving into their consciousness.
"Don't fight darkness. Bring the light, anddarkness will disappear," Maharishi said in a 2006interview, repeating one of his own mantras.Donations and the $2,500 fee to learn TM financedthe construction of Peace Palaces, or meditationcenters, in dozens of cities around the world.
Itpaid for hundreds of new schools in India.In 1971, Maharishi founded a university inFairfield, Iowa, that taught meditation alongsidethe arts and sciences to 700 students and servedorganic vegetarian food in its cafeterias.Supporters pointed to hundreds of scientificstudies showing that meditation reduces stress,lowers blood pressure, improves concentration andraises results for students and businessmen.Skeptics ridiculed his plan to raise $10 trillionto end poverty by sponsoring organic farming inthe world's poorest countries.
They scoffed at hisnotion that meditation groups, acting like psychicshock troops, can end conflict."To resolve problems through negotiation is a verychildish approach," he said.In 1986, two groups founded by his organizationwere sued in the U.S. by former disciples whoaccused it of fraud, negligence and intentionallyinflicting emotional damage. A jury, however,refused to award punitive damages.Over the years, Maharishi also was accused offraud by former pupils who claim he failed toteach them to fly. "Yogic flying," showcased asthe ultimate level of transcendence, was neverwitnessed as anything more than TM followerssitting in the cross-legged lotus position andbouncing across spongy mats.Maharishi was born Mahesh Srivastava in centralIndia, reportedly on Jan. 12, 1917 — though herefused to confirm the date or discuss his earlylife.
He studied physics at Allahabad University beforebecoming secretary to a well known Hindu holy man.After the death of his teacher, Maharishi wentinto a nomadic two-year retreat of silence in theHimalayan foothills of northern India.
With his background in physics, he brought hismessage to the West in a language that mixed theoccult and science that became the buzz of collegecampuses. He described TM as "the unified field ofall the laws of nature."Maharishi's trademark flowing beard and long,graying hair appeared on the cover of the leadingnews magazines of the day.
But aides say Maharishi became disillusioned thatTM had become identified with the counterculture,and he spent more time at his ashram in Rishikeshin the Himalayan foothills to run his globalaffairs.In 1990 he moved onto the wooded grounds of ahistoric Franciscan monastery in the southernDutch village of Vlodrop, about 125 milessoutheast of Amsterdam.Concerned about his fragile health, he secludedhimself in two rooms of the wooden pavilion hebuilt on the compound, speaking only by video toaides around the world and even to his closestadvisers in the same building.
John Hagelin, a theoretical physicist who ran forthe U.S. presidency three times on theMaharishi-backed Natural Law Party, said that fromthe Dutch location Maharishi had daylong access tofollowers in India, Europe and the Americas."He runs several shifts of us into the ground,"said Hagelin, Maharishi's closest aid, speaking inVlodrop about his then-89-year- old mentor. "He isa fountainhead of innovation and new ideas — fartoo many than you can ever follow up."- - - Amsterdam-based Associated Press writer Arthur Maxcontributed to this report.http://www.sfgate. com/flat/ archive/2008/ 02/05/news/ archive/2008/ 02/05/internatio nal/i152501S66. html?tsp= 1Jai Maharaj, Jyotishi Om Shanti
