Yeah, it's too bad we don't have free and accurate information here on
FFL, what with some informants trying to obfuscate in the extreme, so we
can't find out where the TM mantras really came from and what they
really mean. This is supposed to be a spiritual help site where people
can discuss spiritual paths and techniques in a truthful manner without
rancor. If we could just get past the double-speak. Go figure.
"...the TM mantras are *not* the names of the Hindu gods. The Hindu gods
have perfectly good names of their own."

Absolutely. What leaves me astonished (and humbled) is the sheer scale
of the free info and advice that's now available. We're talking about
countless numbers of people who freely give of their time and
experience to help their fellows. Quite remarkable - and surely
unpredictable by those who assume we are all motivated only by
self-interest.
