 * Comments
 * "for ladies is " for women.
 * coherence is a dab link.
 * "eight hours there." -> "eight hours at the domes."
 * "A TM website says" I think you need to state why this particular website is worthy of inclusion here. There are a lot of websites spouting rubbish out there...
 * "Eight hundred did so right away, and thousands came later" I'm not keen on this. I know what you're saying, and it's reasonably clear but it doesn't seem like elegant prose to me.
 * "was done in the " -> "was performed" or "was carried out"?
 * "is a couple of hundred yards (meters)" unencyclopedic (a couple of hundred) and a yard isn't the same as a meter.
 * "It was completed in 1981" why not merge that back into the previous sentence, "The ladies dome, completed in 1980, ..."
 * "Aerial photograph showing the Golden Domes. The Men's Dome is the southern one on the left and the Ladies' Dome is the northern one on the right." -> "Aerial photograph showing the Golden Domes, the Men's (left) to the south and the Ladies' (right) to the north."
 * "20–25,000" you mean 20,000–25,000? i.e. not 20 square feet?
 * Actually, "They are each 20–25,000 square feet (1900–2300 m2) in area, about 150–200 feet (46–61 m) in diameter, and about 35 feet (11 m) high.[1][2][26][27]" is odd since there are only two domes, presumably their dimensions are well known, so we don't need these ranges or the "about" guesses.
 * 1900 etc, -> 1,900 for internal consistency.
 * "Photographs show flagpoles outside the domes flying the flags of the United States and of the Global Country of World Peace" if this is a tourist attraction, why isn't it just reported that these flags are flown rather than a nebulous "photos show..." (a bit like "photos show the development of a nuclear reactor in ...", you get me?)
 * "a space for doing asanas" again, avoid "doing", maybe "performing"
 * "seven and a half feet (2.9 m) tall and five feet (1.5 m) wide" 7.5 ft ... 5 ft.
 * alum - do you mean alumnus?
 * "Hundreds, or over a thousand TM-Sidhi practitioners" which is it?
 * "An office building across the highway from the domes is said to be "just a few seconds from the Golden Domes by car".[64]" what is the relevance of this? And why is this a quote?  Surely it'll be obvious if it's across the highway that it's close?  Do you mean it advertises itself that way?  If so, make it clear.
 * " Fees for a couple were about US$150" -> The fee for a couple was approximately $150.
 * "See also: Other notable assemblies" does that really link to what you want?
 * Events section is a little choppy, many short paras.
 * flutist->flautist.
 * You have dozens and dozens of "References", a lot are very specific (i.e. down to a page number), these would be better off as footnotes as presumably such precise references cite precise facts. If not, this is a WAY over the top list of external links masquerading as so-called References, and is entirely unnecessary.  Especially considering you have a citation almost every sentence which you call footnotes.
