Well, I guess we could look it up: "Note to newbies: Willytex, aka pundit, punditster, punditmoderator, etc., spouts a great deal of absolute nonsense. Nothing he says about TM (or about much of anything else, but especially* TM) is to be taken seriously. Just for example, the TM mantras are *not* the names of the Hindu gods. The Hindu gods have perfectly good names of their own."
