Nice post. As far as I'm concerned, "Maharishi" is the man's name. That's what I've always known him as, since he first showed me the path to transcendence when I was a hopelessly lost adolescent in the 1960s. I think he is a great seer and deserves such a title. The attacks on him in this forum are all by little people who cannot recognize who he is and have forgotten the gift he gave them when they were young and ignorant. Now they think they are wise and pour abuse on the man who first opened their eyes.
