Question: did you get this 1/2 page agreement from your attorney or from some anti-TM website? Not that it really matters but I am curious because in the agreement, Guru Dev is referred to as "the Maharishi's dead master" and I doubt whether (1) the article "the" would be used to refer to MMY in a TMO document (unless Charlie Lutes wrote it); and (2) Guru Dev would ever be referred to as a "dead" master in a TMO document. ------------------------ Yahoo!
