TM Rajas break faith with Maharishi over the pricing of TM
in a competitive marketplace: the price to learn TM is dropped.
Pricing of the basic course to learn the meditation is to be means tested.
Coveting the rich to get to 1% turned out a null set. TM looks for a comeback
(Metrics show 'Trickle Down' as a policy failing..) the hope is to have more
people learning to meditate. Jai Guru Dev.
..
srijau defends,
David Lynch Foundation and a million people taught for free is a null set to
you.
And, where are the million?
The current adult fee is lower in inflation adjusted dollars than it was in
1977. For those under 50.000 income its likely the lowest it has ever been.
Ever? Learning TM before 1977? A day's, week's wage. Multiply Bernie
Sander's proposed $15 an hour minimum wage?
1/5 of the population lives under the Federal Poverty level. Almost a quarter
of children are beneath poverty level. Likewise a third are 'income
insufficient', by another metric.
Towards the 'middle-class' this change of pricing policy for TM is a major
change of heart.
There is no " break faith with Maharishi" as you said, Maharishi was
delighted with what David Lynch was doing he just wanted his TM teachers to be
able to work full time with a good standard of living which is what David Lynch
Foundation is paying thanks almost entirely to getting rich people onside and
donating. It is going from success to more success.
You are copying the Fox News schools of empty rhetoric and the Paul Ryan
school of saying stuff you don't even really believe yourself.
wow so manipulative dishonest and negative. there is no breaking faith with
Maharishi.
and there is no metrics showing a policy failing, the metrics are
fantastically good.
srijau offers: “..he couldn't go straight to large groups anymore. he had to
focus on teaching the rich, the ruling class, the decision makers “
ironically if you are low income north of the border with Canada you are

the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique has now been learned by more than
10 million people, worldwide its health benefits have been documented through
more than 400 published peer-reviewed research studies through the efforts of
filmmaker David Lynch, the technique has been taught at no charge to more than

performance and reduces toxic stress and violence. Learn more at www.TM.org or

However, the need for Transcendental Meditation is more urgent than ever,
according to quantum physicist Dr. John Hagelin, who heads the TM organization
in the U.S.
"We live in an epidemic of stress. Tens of millions of Americans are anxious
or depressed—or feel overwhelmed and overburdened by the critical need to be
more productive, more creative, more energetic, and more focused than ever,"
Dr. Hagelin said. "People are learning TM because it's a simple, easily learned
technique
