For the record, the "sweet poison" warning goes at least as far back as 1998 and referred specifically to a hyperventilation-type breathing technique Shankar taught (called, I believe, Sudarshan Kriya). According to someone on alt.m.t who had spent time in Shankar's ashram in 1978, Shankar had only broken with the TMO fairly recently at the time the person was posting in 1994. He was said then not to be interested in starting a movement (and was known as Pundit Ravi Shankar; Sri Sri apparently came later). The point being that at the time MMY issued the "sweet poison" warning, probably around 1994, the TMO was still in full swing, and Shankar apparently did not pose any kind of major threat in terms of even starting a movement of his own, let alone one that could compete with the TMO. Perhaps MMY foresaw that he would do so, but that doesn't appear to have been evident at the time. In any case, contrary to Vaj's suggestion, the "sweet poison" warning about the hyperventilation technique is hardly a recent development. ------------------------ Yahoo!
