Deepak was really kind to me on 2 occasions. We did not know each, but in the late 80's he initiated me into the Primordial Sound technique. I was his last appointmnet of the day and nearly 2 hours late for the initiation due to a huge traffic disaster on the highway I was using. He made a decision to miss his flite to wait for me, instructed me and left for the airport, knowing all along that he would miss his air flite (due to leave 15 minutes after he got in the car for the airport, which was an hour away). He was calm and kind and gracious throughout. Turns out the flite was delayed and he did squeek onto it. In another instance around the same time, he saw one of my children for a health checkup, ayurveda-style. What a great bedside manner he had, and super smart. I always assumed if he left the TMO, he had his own good reasons. And he continued to speak highly of TM. What TB's forget is that ayurveda was not invented by Maharishi. In fact, several Indians were asked by the TMO to help develop the Maharish Ayurveda products and to represent Maharishi Ayruveda - and they refused for various reasons. I believe Dr.Vasant Ladd refused an offer, years ago. He has his own institute out west. ------------------------ Yahoo!
