Am I alone here in seeing this fascination with a traveling scam artist who can generate a little shakti as a sign of desperation? I mean, isn't it a sad commentary on the 40-year history of the TM movement that after all this time the few lingering True Believers get all excited by 1) an experience that is considered elementary in most other spiritual traditions, and 2) still Somebody Else's Experience. All these years, all these decades, and people are still getting their spiritual jollies *second hand*.
