Is Maharishi's plan for peace or business?When it comes to cash, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi perhaps the worlds richest guru, has so much he's apparently out looking for investment opportunities.
One such opportunity popped up through a piece of prime property located within one of Chicago's historic districts, reports the Sun-Times.
Maharishi's business arm, called "Maharishi Global Development," is now engaged in the expensive renovation of a 22-story Blackstone building, which it is refurbishing into 39 luxury condos.
The estimated cost is $135 million.
How does this project promote the guru's vaunted goal of world peace?
Developing luxury condominiums for the rich in a historic downtown neighborhood is certainly a savvy business move. But how does that achieve progress for humanity along the spiritual path outlined by Maharishi for planetary salvation?
Well, maybe "global development" actually means real estate development?
The guru seems to be meditating on a business plan to enhance his burgeoning investment portfolio, rather than the often-stated goal of global harmony.
