I can't remember where I heard it first, but it was some time ago, and I've heard it a number of times since. It's been discussed on alt.m.t, for example. It's certainly movement *mythology* if not movement *dogma*. It isn't exactly the sort of thing you'd want to mention in an intro lecture, after all. > <snip> > > When he [MMY] started in Kerala, he was surrounded by > > orthodox Brahmins, and it seems he easily convinced them. > > He convinced you, and all you did was hear a rumor > that isn't even an established part of the TM teachings. :-) Says Barry, wilfully missing Michael's point (i.e., that orthodox Brahmins would be in a pretty good position to decide whether MMY was qualified to teach by orthodox Brahmin standards). > <snip> > > If there is anything like 'good' or 'bad' at all.

It's an excuse you haul out to get yourself off the hook when somebody mounts a solid challenge to whatever you're trying to convince them of.
