A couple of years back, I watched a Lonely Planet travel program on TV where
the host visited Pune and the ashram of Maharishi Yogi. The in-charge from
the ashram told the host, "all other religions in the world take care of the
poor; only our religion specializes in taking care of the needs of the rich
and famous."
