---Right (below - CC in 5 years, actually). That's how long it took Jerry Jarvis to reach CC, so the idea and promotion gimmicks were biased toward his experiences, as the SIMS leader. As to animals becoming Enlightened, there's a precedent in Ramana Maharshi's tradition, since he helped Lakshmi the cow get Enlightened at the time of the cow's death. Ramana also helped a crow, numerous monkeys, peacocks, snakes, bees, etc...on the path; but it's uncertain how far these creatures got toward the goal of Self-Realization. > > > > > > A TM-teacher once said that MMY had said that the TM-Sidhi programme > > is so effective that even a horse could become enlightened if rounding > > with for six months. > > > > When I first learned TM back in 1969, they had these yellow brochures > at the combined SIMS/SRM center located, I think, at 123 E. 78th > Street in Manhattan.
