Next time I sneak in to visit friends on Purusha, I'll remind them that they should remove the pictures of their TM mantra devatas they all had in their puja spaces. No, of course I wouldn't do that, because I know they were probably instructed by Maharishi to do so. And also because I understand why it's helpful in their integration of mantra, shakti and consciousness. You sound like someone who's afraid to experiment when you talk like that!
