A digitized video of a long tape like this, 
even at the lowest feasible resolution, 
would be larger than any server space I 
or FFL have available. It would be an in-
your-face copyright violation, as well.

I seem to recall Finnish TM teachers claimed he said something
to that effect also about the (Finnish folk epic, or stuff) Kalevala.
(BTW, as it happens, the word "kalevara" in Sanskrit means
'body'. In Sanskrit e.g. "laghu" is the later form
of "raghu"... Well, yeah, thats prolly just a coincidence...)

Apparently Maharishi has commented on the connection between ancient
Jewish teachings and the knowledge he is presenting. I think there was
a video or magazine available in Isreal where he is interviewed on
this. Someone in the TM movement in Isreal would know about that.

The TM-Sidhis aren't for quieting down the mind. TM itself may have 
that effect, but at least in a given practice period, that isn't 
the "goal" of the practice.

If you wish to do a comparative study on TM vs some other form of 
meditation, you should contact the MUM researchers for advice on how to 
proceed. A good idea of what studies have already been done can be 
found by checking with the National Institute of Health's "pubmed" 
database of research articles and doing a keyword search 
on "transcendental meditation." Likewise, you can do such searches for 
research on any other form of meditation.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?DB=pubmed



Another good source of information on research is the online book found 
at:

http://www.noetic.org/research/medbiblio/

This summarizes the results of over 2500 studies on all forms of 
meditation. Some studies date back more than 50 years.

Finally, there is a book that compares the religious and spiritual 
traditions of samadhi and other spiritual terms, including those found 
in Judaism, called: The Problem of Pure Consciousness, edited by Robert 
C. Forman.
