I don't know if anyone has experience with Mr Yogi, but let me tell you a fact: How much his institutions charge here in US:
His TM Center charges 2800 dollars for 4, 1-hr meditation classes.
His Ayurvedic center charges over 700 dollars per day of treatment. Imagine when Ayurvedic treatments can easily be 3-4 weeks long (Especially for chronic diseases) and you may have to visit multiple times, we are talking about tens of thousands of dollars.
These costs (prohibitive) exclude more than 99% people living in America and are obviously intended to make billions of dollars rather than serving the needy.
It would have been much better to see Maharishi Yogi help poor rather than create billion dollar franchise, designed to help only the rich.

Why don't you help the poor ?And really wonder how much money can you make of a product if it dosen't work or if people are not ready to pay for it ? Why dosen't the American Govt take care of it's citizens health by having a National Health Service like in the UK or other European countries ? Why can't you Americans elect a Govt that does that & why do you expect such a favour from Maharishi at all ? Is he obliged to you in some way ? Why all idealism is reserved for the other person only ?
