That's not quite true, according to the site. "Membership" in the organization is listed as available at the following prices (currency conversions by a fairly accurate Website): 300 rupees ($7 US) for a student 900 rupees ($21 US) for an adult 600 rupees ($14 US) for a senior citizen 3000 rupees ($70 US) for a family 25000 rupees ($585 US) for a company According to the site itself, all that you get for your money is an "Identity Card," one "which will give you required honour, authority and identification as peace promoters." :-) The site does NOT say (at least I couldn't find it) that you're going to get anything BUT your "Identity Card" for those prices. There is nothing to suggest what the cost of TM or the TN-siddhis will be. Not that I care all that much, but if you're going to post stuff about this wannabee legend in his own mind, it should probably be accurate stuff. On the other hand, *definitely* download the application form, and wait for the abysmally slow data transfer. It's worth it, because it demands information about your Caste and your Religion, your Computer Proficiency, your Occu- pation and Languages Spoken, not to mention whether you have ever been "punished in a court of law" or "involved in any court cases." I think all of the TM teachers here know how important all of this information is in determining one's mantra. :-) There are more questions on the form, such as asking if you are *already* a practitioner of TM or the TM-siddhis (which indicates to me that you are NOT getting them for your sign-up fee when you "apply"), and a LOT of questions about whether you work for or have ever worked for one of the other TM organizations. As Shemp and others suggested earlier, it's a coup. It is very DEFINITELY an attempt to create an alternative TM movement. As I suggested earlier, WHO THE FUCK CARES? This new TM movement is as laughable as the old one. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "claudiouk" <claudiouk@> wrote: > > > > http://peace-movement.net/Administrative.html > > >
