No. Different Masters, different strokes. Rich Archer uses Maharishi's procedures for the use of mantras without his own Guru, Amma's consent and approval. He never asked Her if that is OK. He didn't bother, instead infusing the situation with his own ego thus creating a mess his Guru certainly did not ask for. He certainly has a nerve, I'll give him that.

I beg to disagree. What the world need now is coherence, not fellows like Rich running around creating a mess and mishmash of different traditions.

My standing in the Movement is excellent thank you very much. I have a standing invitation to rejoin Purusha at any moment if I so wish. There are no differences between what Mr. Creme is claiming regarding the Reappearance of the Masters of Wisdom, including one of the most senior Masters, our Guru Dev, in this Age and the knowlegde Maharishi so tierlessly, happily and generously exposed. If you bothered to study Theosophy and compared your SCI-notes this would become evidently obvious even to you.
