So, are you equally comfortable the to give an "official-as-decreed-by-MMY" second lecture in which you are required to shuck and jive the folks about the mantra being selected for them especially with ultra specificity and cosmic oogabooganess? Or will you tell them that "It's your age that determines the mantra, we don't know where Maharishi got them for sure, we don't know why they can be thought to be more life supporting than other Hindu mantras, and that 90% of those who get these mantras quit the practice withing a few months, or that the siddhi program doesn't use Sanskrit?" It's one thing to create an aura of mystique such that the punters get a good shove to interiority by a theatrical framing, but the taste of it always kept coming back up on me like a tuna fish sandwich. The ends doesn't seem to justify the means; really now, are you espousing that the TM teacher fool or skew or outrightly dis-educate people into a holy program? WTF? Edg
