I tell my students that I am not longer a part of the TMO and why. (because of the course-fee). I tell them about the Vedic Tradition and that MMY brought TM to the West. I think we can discuss what came first - the hen or the egg - over and over again. Who let who down. I cannot be a part of an organisation that is so far from my values any more, and MMY set the standards for the TMO. I have nothing against MMY as a Human Being, but I do not like some of his actions, as mentioned in other mails. One TM-Teacher participated in Guru Purnima this summer, seing MMY on the big screen. and said that MMY now looks very, very old. And I usually respect old people. Ingegerd
