Just as a matter of interest, I was given mantras for priests and nuns, monks/nuns. A couple of years later (according to the lists at trancenet.org, which I have no reason to doubt), my monk and nun mantras turned up as late teen mantras. People say that TM isn't based on belief. But, you do engage belief, don't you. If you didn't believe it was worthwhile, you wouldn't spend the money. The scientific paraphernalia is designed to increase your belief that it is worthwhile, isn't it? Why else would Maharishi have said "We will use science to prove it!"
