Thank you for your excellent article.
For fifty years, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi took his message of Vedic wisdom around the world. Inspired by his own teacher His Divinity Brahamananda Saraswathi Shakarachary of Jyotirmath, Maharishi inspired millions of people around the world to practice Transcendental Meditation, individually and collectively. He revived Ayurveda to its rightful place as the most wholistic system of healthcare in the world. Similarly he promoted and taught all aspects of the Vedic tradition, including Sthapatya Veda and Jyotish. His dignity, wisdom and enlightenment shone for fifty years. Long may his great legacy thrive. It provides a bright future for the world in an age that greatly needed it. Jai Guru Dev Maharishi. Jai Guru Dev.

He was a world famous GURU.
Did you know that the BBC Asian Network Radio snubbed the News of his death in all the evenings programmes.
Its in the evening we get to hear whats what happened during the day.
No mention of him in their News after 4.00pm!
We are Hindus and therefore any News related to Hindus is not worthy.
Only Muslim News gets good coverage.
This is not the first time but the 100th incident.
Its time Hindus wrote letters to them and complained at this obvious bias.
But as usual Hindus will ignore this posting thinking its the rambling of some nutter with a chip on his shoulder.

I wrote a letter asking you to mention the death another great humanitarian who died in the same week as the Maharishi (if you did an article on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi).
Yet you didnt even bother to make one sentence of his death.
This was the death of a great humanitarian worker Baba Amte whose work you can see in this video link

A Great Soul.

Shamefully some Asian papers tucked his death in a tiny corner as well!
But had huge pictures of Sanjay Dutt marriage!
The excuse that no one knows Baba Amte is typically a backwards mentality of the Indian media.
If he is unknown then make him known!
How can a man as great as Mother Teresa and Gandhi not be News worthy?
