Silly Willy. Perhaps you weren't listening earlier. Similar techniques are found in the Shankaracharya Advaita tradition. They can also be found in Patanjali, the Shaiva tantras and the Puranas! They are also taught in the mantra traditions of Hindu tantrism. It also appears you never learned the TM checking procedure. The Marshy had a great beard and looked great in expensive silk, but IMO he sucked as yogi. Why else would someone with "yogi" added onto their name have a gym teacher design their hatha-yoga asanas? Pretty silly Willy. Pretty silly. Just because someone dresses like a saint doesn't make them one and just because someone self-proclaims themselves a yogi doesn't make them one. Nor does fooling Paul McCartney, Ringo and Donovan. Heck, I thought Ringo was smarter than that! Marshy's just all hat and no cattle if you ask me! But I'm sure he'd try to sell you one just the same. A Vedic one. ;-)
