MMY’s B.Gita? Odds are likely that I put the copy I had of MMY’s B. Gita with LB Shriver’s papers and other papers that are at the University of Iowa now. Or it went to one of the other special collections on TM that are at scholarly libraries around the country. Including criticism the U. of Ia

Hello Hugues, I learned Transcendental Meditation 48 years ago and became what is termed "Governor of the Age of Enlightenment". It is a decent meditation technique. Many accolades were heaped upon Mahesh Yogi's commentary on the Gita. All the praise was from within the TMO movement. It wa

Hugues, I bought Chapter 7 of the Gita from the MUM bookstore. But a few years ago, someone wrote here on this site that the Purusha group wanted the books exclusively for their own use. Hence, the bookstore stopped selling them. You can get an idea of the topics discussed by reading Sr
