Thats interesting because it was just my experience when meeting Shri Chimnoy a couple of years ago. Same sweetness, same bliss as in meeting Maharishi. Looked like two brothers. Intellectually I have no idea what Shri Chimnoy is doing though and googeling Him isn't easy. He gave me a couple of books and it is as if something Maharishi could have written if He was not busy saving the planet. From talking to some of His students there is no doubt that Shri Chimnoy is doing a wonderful job in lifting them closer to the Godhead within.
