Right on Vaj, I agree! Also, I haven't heard even one credible
account of kundalini rising in/from the TM group, probably because
most aren't advanced enough,not that it wouldn't happen some day but

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I know numerous people who've
awakened at the prana-kundalini level.
