Eisenhower nodded yes and ii i 1 IS Jh4 fis'A 1 A teen-age guru touring the United States had to post bond of $13,300 before being allowed to leave India to spread his 'perfect knowledge," the government says. Minister of State for Finance K. R. Ganesh told Parliament on Friday that the guru had to post the bond because he is under investigation and may be charged with smuggling.

He did not say whether the government plans to prosecute Guru Maharaj Ji, the 15-year-old leader of the Divine Light Mission. His movement claims five million devotees in India and about 50,000 in the United States. Customs officers seized $35,000 worth of jewelry, watches and foreign currency when the guru and some of his disciples returned to India last November from the United States. Spokesmen for the movement claim that the money was collected to finance the stay of 3,000 Western devotees, mostly from the United States, who flew to India that month. The jewelry and watches, the spokesman said, were gifts for the guru's family and the mahawmas, the movement's priests.

Customs authorities said the guru and a few close disciples who were responsible for the items had not properly declared our spiritual condition.
