I don't know that I believe the western imported idea of 'fasting is  
good for you and your spiritual experiences'. It's certainly not  
promulgated in Ayurveda. It's also one of the quickest ways to  
unbalance yourself. We've imported a myth of 'just fast, it's good'.  
Yeah, sure if you're a yogi and know the techniques for balancing the  
five elements and know how to imbibe prana, yeah then it has some real  
advantages.


But fads like TM just wanted to look like yogis. It's good for the  
brand. "Wow, we're yogis, we fast." It's based on ignorance, not wisdom.

just meditate. If you become hungry, have some bite of the apple." On my six 
month course we fasted on grapes or other fruit if you liked, for about three

A fruit diet is the most tasty diet you will ever eat. In fact, until you have 
been on a fruit diet for at least 3 days, you ACTUALLY have not tasted food 
properly yet. After the initial days, the system is already so cleansed that 
fruit starts to taste wonderous, even blissful, and anything else you look at

craving for something else, and you decide to satisfy it, you can taste the

A fruit diet is the most tasty diet you will ever eat. In fact, until
you have been on a fruit diet for at least 3 days, you ACTUALLY have not
tasted food properly yet. After the initial days, the system is already
so cleansed that fruit starts to taste wonderous, even blissful, and
anything else you look at in the store seems bland and devoid of life.
However, if you have a strong craving for something else, and you decide
to satisfy it, you can taste the taste of it better than you ever have

I said a 'fruit diet' ... I did not say they could not be cooked. You do
whatever you want with them, and like I said, you satisfy strong
cravings for other things once in a while -- those people on your TTC
were just like many of you ru's were back then -- all about forcing down
your throats whatever morcel of knowledge was thrown at you, and
lecturing people on how to do everything down to a 't'.

Am I right?

Unlike me, I'm easy going about things.

By the way, Maharishi cannot cure cancer. A fruit diet can. Facts of
life.

Here in the States that's being marketed
as a raw-foods diet, with its proponents
making it sound like it's something brand-
new.  I think it sounds not only incredibly
boring and tasteless, but not really all
that healthy either.

On my TTC at Estes Park (1970) there was a group of prospective TM teachers who 
had adopted the so-called 'Mucousless Diet'. And at one of Maharishi's lectures 
they were recommending it to Maharishi as an effective healthy alternative.

As I recall, at mealtimes these people would only eat uncooked vegetables and 
fruits. In my view they appeared to have pasty skin, low hanging bottom 
eye-lids and looked like they were dying of something.

Anyway, I recall Maharishi answering this one enthusiastic proponent and
