First time I fasted was when working in Spruce Pines, NC, working for the team
of TM governors who were teaching sidhi prep courses - did a five day fast
while working in the kitchen (like a fool) - I got so goddamn hungry I finally

simply what I think is a well put together compilation of the intention and
origins of M's movement that shows it was clearly religion - I thought the
denizens of FFL would find it interesting - evidently not.
