Despite such problems, a furious remodeling program has added manicured new gardens to the academy, as well as indoor plumbing for the six guest bungalows and electric light for all the buildings. An airstrip is being built nearby for the Maharishi's new twin-engined Beechcraft Baron, the gift of the International Meditation Society, and a rough helipad has been cleared away on the hillside.
