The obvious problem for some Christians is the first commandment, "Thou shalt
have no other gods before Me". If this woman is a devout Christian, she has
every right to have concern until such time that the TMO can prove that they
are not trying to slip something by on her children or society as a whole. That
will be very difficult in light of the NJ case. As long as Christians feel
attacked for their beliefs, (prayer removed from public schools and events,
crosses removed from public lands, ten commandments removed from court room
buildings etc.) you can bet that Christians will demand equal treatment for
other religions as well. The TMO can dress TM up all it wants with all the junk
science it wants but as long as witnessing the puja is a must for*initiates*,
it will be recognized as a *baptism*, so to speak ,into another faith and
adherents to any other religion have a right to question and reject, if their
conscience dictates.The TMO under the
direction of Maharishi has shot it's self in the foot too many times to ever
become the Oscar Pistorius of cults. I just don't see it ever getting up and
running like it could have in the early 70's. But who knows?

I keep bringing this up, because you seem ignorant of Sanskrit - the
term "rakshasas" is a derogatory term with reference to skin color
and translated into English means "nigger devil". It's one thing to
be a racist, but you just compound your error by being ignorant.
Does that make you feel special to use Sanskrit words without even
knowing they mean? Go figure.
