Anyway, I've heard that Glen Whitaker complains that sometimes Rawat micromanages the organisations, and other times he orders the organisation's officials to use their initiative. Maybe Larry used his initiative this time and will soon be getting far less darshan than he would like.

Actually, I really think that Rawat just issues sweeping general orders, and the premies have the problem of how to carry them out, particularly when they are legally impossible to carry out.

But the point about Elan Vital owning copyright to images of Rawat, when EV and Rawat have no legal relationship, is a serious point, and is rather strange. At the very least Rawat must have signed a contract giving EV those rights, and if he got paid for that, then EV are lying when they say that Rawat receives no compensation from EV. And if Rawat signed such a contract for no compensation, then that would be a first!
