What I have been wondering about is that MMY is using Guru Dev as a sort of talisman, as an alibi. When we listen to tapes with MMY for the last 30 years, I think; he is referring to "My TM-Technique, My Vedic Science, My knowledge, My TM-Teachers". Maybe he was more close to Guru Devs teaching in his first years as a Guru - where he gave out Mantras of Gods. Then he changed the Mantras who is given out to people. Now, it seems that he is going backwards again, when he do Puja to Mahalakshmir and use the whole specter of Gods in tapes and in explanations of the connection between the human body and the Universe. I am really grateful that Paul Mason is trying to find out as much as possible about Guru Devs teaching. The truth can never be hidden. Ingegerd
