Sri Sri's Sahaj Samadhi technique is TM. He had to call it something else for
legal reasons. It combines the original TM technique with the fourth advanced
technique. Many of the Sahaj teachers are former TM teachers. I don't know if
they offer the other TM advanced techniques as Sahaj advanced. Anybody else
know? Personally, I consider Sri Sri the next in line of the tradition and
quite frankly... a breath of fresh air from the rest of the riff- raff M left
behind. But then.. I haven't been exposed to the inner workings of the AOL
foundation.

The TM community there, having purchased or built homes got screwed by the
movement's shenanigans because they expected Purusha and Mother Divine to be in
their neighbourhood. Don't know what Shankar is doing.

There is a video on YouTube in which Sri Sri does exactly the same Puja as
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi did. This somehow seems to indicate that he still sees
himself as belonging to the same tradition as Maharishi.
Do you believe Sri Sri's Sahaj Samadhi technique is TM?
Has any of you been on the campus on Heavenly Mountain and how did you
experience it?
To me it seems that the TM community living on Heavenly Mountain can be really
happy to have such amazing neighbors. They don't eat meat, don't drink alcohol,
practice meditation and thereby create some level of coherence not dissimilar
from the Purusha group. It might not be a substitute, but still pretty awesome.
Imagine a Christian or corporate group would have purchased the campus! They
wouldn't really fit very well into the existing TM community.
