Besides knowing what specific cardiovascular condition this guy had, we would also need to know what *type* of exercise MMY had been asked about. If the guy's condition was well advanced by the time he joined Purusha, exercise such as weight-lifting or vigorous aerobic exercise might actually have been very dangerous. In general, exercise is a good thing, but there are a lot of variables. The last time I saw Scott, back in the 80's, he was a bit *chubby* and I believe he had been on Purusha since it's inception, back in the 70's. M's instructions since I can remember have been that we don't exert ourselves. If the house catches fire, we walk out, don't run for anything.< Chances are Scott's weight, along with probably a high fat and carb diet, ghee, rice, bread and sweets etc. along with a sedentary life style, with minimal physical exertion, caused plaque build up in his arteries and possibly thickening of the heart's walls which leads to heart failure.< From what I knew of Scott, he was as close to a saint as anybody in the TM movement and probably much more so than many of it's current leaders. I never heard him tell anybody how they should or should not be or to live their lives. I never heard a critical or harmful word from his mouth and he definitely wasn't on any power trip, trying to exert authority over anybody. Scott will be missed. **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music. (http://music.aol.com/grammys/pictures/never-won-a-grammy?NCID=aolcmp003000000025 48)
