Page "Maharishi Mahesh Yogi" Paragraph 32

In 1970, the Maharishi held a TM teacher training course at a Victorian hotel located in Poland Springs, Maine with 1, 200 participants.

Later that year, he held a similar four-week course at Humboldt State College in Arcata, California.

About 1, 500 people attended and it was described as a " sort of a crash program to train transcendental teachers ".

Following tax troubles in India, he moved his headquarters to Italy and then to Austria.

That same year, the City of Hope Foundation in Los Angeles gave the Maharishi their " Man of Hope " award.
