<http://www.tm.org> still promotes basic TM as not requiring any
lifestyle changes at all. Specifically, "The Transcendental Meditation
technique is not a religion or philosophy and involves no change in
lifestyle.">>
TM does not require a lifestyle change. It never did. I know many people
who got into CC or more just with TM (not even vegetarian, or learning
asanas, etc.)
I personally, did not learn TM for TM, I wanted the sidhis from the
get-go. And it is fantastic !
