I consider them an adjunct to my own practice whereby I am somehow amped up and feel more clear. Also, I don't shell out much as my yagya group allows me to pay what I wish. I don't even necessarily believe in Gods at all. But I do believe in the power of human attention, and paying others to place their attention on ones higher nature has an impact. Fact is, I feel them and it's not based in autosuggection to me. But I cannot make anyone else believe that. Nor do I care to. Yagyas fit into my way of thinking, even as a Buddhist. As for Maharishi yagyas I have never heard anything good about them. But I have had some wild experiences with them when I had alot of them going at once. In fact it was too much for me and I became insomniac for 6 months. Now I just have one group doing one yagya a day for me, in part of a group yagya. It costs me about a dollar a day. So do contact lenses. I pay five bucks a day for a pack of smokes, so I'm not worried about the money.
