Well I think that was always a problem, thus the dual sri's. > Seriously, are you saying that SSRS is comparable to MMY?

I think they are very similar, but in many ways (IMO) SSRS is more compassionate and authentic. I look at both of them as just 'other people on the path' not necessarily as enlightened--and indeed neither has claimed such. Since TM is not unique truly, in the ultimate sense it's manasika-japa with a really nice checking routine; I know that many use, in essence, the same method with similar or same results. IMO the major fault of TM is that it does not fully address the obstacles individual seekers may encounter. It also does not address those who may need to move beyond mantra as a support or cannot work well with mantra period after a certain point. It's the individual that's important and that to the degree they can simply observe and "be honest" with their own condition (body, energy and mind-wise).
