Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Guru Dev, TM & The TMO
'The initiation took place in front of a picture of
Guru Dev and I
was told that I should consider neither my initiator nor
Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi as my spiritual teacher but the Guru Dev himself.'
-
Dinesh Khare [from his introduction to 'Strange Facts About A
Great
Saint' - a biography of His Divinity Swami Brahmanand
Saraswati
Maharaj]
Like many others I have been uncomfortable about
many of the
initiatives undertaken in recent years by the TMO and about
certain
of the recent announcements made by MMY. Furthermore, Of late I
have
been pressed to question my views of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
whose
biography I wrote some ten years ago. Gradually I am coming
to
realise that he now seems to speak an entirely different language,
a
language I cannot respect, a voice against democracy. Thus I
review
the criticisms of his peer group and of his detractors, wondering
if
there might be any substance to their rants.
When I pose such
questions on TM newsgroups I am confronted by self-
elected representatives
twisting my words and twisting my motives.
One thing I have learned from
this experience is that I have been
naieve in the extreme to think that
TMers are either more more likely
to be more honest or more reasonable than
non-meditators. But Guru
Dev was clear that one should tolerate the
intoleration of others.
