 Thanks for placing your comments in the middle of 4-5 other people's
 replies, so trying to figure out where to snip was a major chore.

 You just aren't getting Maharishi's contention that the workings of
 the Universe are just.  Maharishi has explained to us how a
 planeload
 full of people going down in a crash are meant to be on the plane
 and
 there are no accidents, there are no innocent victims.

 There's also no discrimination, if we look at the world that way.
 Not
 between genders, people of different sexual orientations, tall,
 short,
 fair skinned, dark skinned.  You're born into the right family.
 After
 all, Maharishi asserted that the Brahmin pundits have something
 special in their DNA which makes it possible for them alone to
 enliven
 the Vedas.  I heard enough rumors from TM teachers in the early days
 about blacks and their very limited participation in learning and
 staying with TM as an indication that they are the sons of Cain.  I
 heard this talk from much too many initiators to not believe that
 Maharishi had mentioned this sort of thing on a course.  What's
 interesting is that the initiators didn't think this belief odd at
 all.  It was all part of the cosmic plan as described by Maharishi.


 Are you kidding me? (a la Jim Mora of beer commercial fame)  OK.
 It's a practical joke.


Am I kidding you about what Maharishi said?  Absolutely not.  He went
through about 6 tapes that I remember (and I saw them enough to be
able to recite them, still) that there are no accidents and there are
no innocent victims, that people are born to fulfill their dharma and
karma.  I'm not kidding you one bit.  There are an amazing number of
people in the TMO who will tell you with total faith that there is
something special in the DNA of the pundits which allow them to do
their special thing with vibrations and creation.  The TMO was taking
great pains to assemble brahmin boys from each of the families from
around India and pointed that out numerous times.  Maharishi felt that
each family represented something unique and all of them should be
represented in the groups of pundits.

About the blacks? I am not kidding you.  I could easily rattle off the
names of the initiators and later governors who spoke about blacks
that way.  It was often the topic of lunch or dinner conversation on
residence courses.  The question would arise where are the blacks?
or why aren't there any blacks involved in TM?.  It's a very
righteous question to ask but people like Peter immediately want to
turn that question into a racist one.  It's a relevant question even
to this day.  Why, except for the foreign students on campus at MUM
are their very few blacks in TM in the US?  Why are there just a
couple in the domes?  Valid question.  A question that was answered by
a number of initiators and governors the way I've already stated.  Was
the response racist?  Yes, of course.  But the question goes
unanswered.  I'll ask it right now.  If TM is so good, then why did
campaigns in the black community fail?  Where the blacks not
interested or were they not approached properly?  Is it racist to say
that the black community needs to be approached a certain way to be
enticed into starting TM?

Now do I agree with Maharishi?  I don't think we should have a caste
system or say that women are born to full this purpose, men are
fulfilled to fulfill that purpose.  The next logical thing is that
this man was born blind, this woman was born lame and we do nothing
about it because, well, it's their karma/dharma.   It gets to be
fatalistic.  OTOH Maharishi's explanation as to why a whole planeful
of people crash together does make sense.  Do I think that the
particular DNA of the pundits matters?  No, I don't.  But maybe when I
get to Maharishi's level I'll perceive that it matters clearly.

 And interesting belief. why do you have a problem with MMY's beliefs?



My problem with Maharishi's statement about pundit genetics is that
for someone who had a science degree, he certainly played fast and
loose with science constructs.  We've finding that there is very
little difference, genetically, between a human being and a chicken.
A couple genes between a chicken and a dinosaur.   So to say that
pundits have special genetics that enable them to chant the way they
do is really pushing it.  Everybody wants to say that this or that is
in their genes.  And we're finding it ain't so.  Like for example the
big fat wave that's gone on around the world is not a result of fat
genes per say but the result of the environment our grandparents'
genes experienced:  the epigenetics.  What's wrong with just saying
that this has been in the family for generations?  You learn best
growing up in the environment.

Maharishi's statements about being born into your dharma/karma?  Well,
carried to the logical conclusion there's no more we can do in the
world.  The poor will always be with us, birth defects are tough luck.
 I had a MD friend who tried to convince me that her chart said she'd
always poor.  I was convinced that she grew up in a redneck family and
carried their redneck ways into the world.  So I guess I don't have a
problem with Maharishi's statements, but I do have a problem when
carried to the point of fatalism.

 Is it racist to say
 that the black community needs to be approached a certain way to be
 enticed into starting TM?

 Er, aside from the $20 million that the NIH has given to MUM to do research
 on the effects of TM on blacks' BP?

 might as well ask why so few American Indians do TM.


Actually, there were quite a few campaigns during the Merv wave to
bring TM to the black communities.  Just didn't work out.

As far as Native Americans (let's not count Alaskans, for the time
being), well have you ever been to a reservation?  I've been to many.
There are some which are doing quite well.  A few of them train the
iron workers.  Without these Native Americans we wouldn't have the
American skylines or many of our amazing bridges.  The rest of them
have dreadful amounts of poverty, alcoholism, drug abuse, glue
sniffing (the Four Corners of the US actually outlawed the sale of
even things like hairspray to Native Americans about 15 years ago) and
crime.  It's really a shame to see it or read the accounts in the
papers if you live within, say, 100 miles or less of a major
reservation area.  There are some pretty demoralizing stories in the
Denver Post, for example.


 The answer to both: THey weren't targeted  in the marketing until recently.



OK, let's target both and see what happens,  It would be nice if we
could get Northern Americans to start TM and not just Central
Americans.

  Bens group is really good and if one wants monthly yajnas done one should
 look into them. Many here probably already belong. That other group is wayyy
 expensive which is total bullshit.Those price gougin ex TM cult pandit
 mongerors like Yagja By Choice and Bishwa Kalyan are a total rip off, for
 paying people to pray for one, Ben hits all the points. He gets more
 elaborate ceremonies done than most. Had him do a puja to Beauty for me and
 my wife on our anniversary once - it was way powerful.


YBC's yagnas and pugas go for normally less than USD 1.00 per pundit hours.
Ben's group has lots of people on the same pundits performed by the same
small number of pundits.   You get what you pay for.  Been there.  Done
that.  Even had Ben decide to add sponsors to my private yagnas without
bothering to get my permission.

 Don't you get sick of being bombarded by woman's sexuality day and
 night?  From high school on up to mature adulthood woman are
 constantly flaunting their sexuality and vanity for men AND other
 woman. It's as bad (or worse) as men ogling them constantly.
 Commercials, dress, movies, internet, and on and on and on!  Grow up!


Actually, no.  But what does bother me are the entertainment TV shows
where it's just who's hot, who's gown is falling off their front and who
(man or woman) is sexy.  Very quickly I want to turn the channel.  Thank I
can take very little of.  MTV's TV shows are really bad, IMO.
