Ah, yes; the King and His Court. The inevitable story of the decline of sacred knowledge in a secular world. Like King Solomon who started a kingdom on sacred precepts, a kingdom that fragmented at his death, so the Purity of the Teaching of Maharishi devolved into a parody of a medieval court where only the wealthy were welcome, the meritorious were excluded or banished. A wonderful Oral History of a great tragic tale. Bravo.
Brilliant. Thank you
Glad the algorithm brought me here
