Peter: > No need to reduce other paths to "Transcendental > Meditation..." > All Indian transcendentalists follow the same path of the Upanishads. All the authors of the Upanishads were transcendentalists. There is on one Transcendent.
All transcendentalists practice a meditation that is transcendental. "Asking how many times one should chant the mantra is like asking how much water should be given to a plant for it to yield fruit." - Ammachi "The Transcendental Meditation, or TM, technique is a form of mantra meditation introduced in India in 1955 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_Meditation
