According to John Manning, a former 'TM-Teacher', John 'initiated' thousands of individuals, yet by his own account, he was trained by an outright 'con man', the Maharishi.
Hugo says the guy was a 'criminal' and Curtis says it's just 'snake-oil' the Maharishi was selling. Can you cite any scriptural evidence that would give you authority to initiate someone into any Tantric Siddha Tradition? Yes, I've been to India and I've been teaching meditation for over thirty years, with direct authorization from His Holiness The Dalai Lama. Apparently you overheard some nonsense gibbirsh from a few grocery store clerks and an astrologer, who now lives in downtown Oakland. What's up with that?
