Ditto, Susan. Although I wouldn't want to endorse it, I can sort of grasp the rationale for not letting folks who might conceivably be a risk for using non-MMY techniques to participate in program in the domes.
But MMY's birthday celebration is not a matter of doing program, so what conceivable rationale could there be for allowing in only TM-Sidhis practitioners, and only those who have a dome badge at that? What's the perceived risk for including others? And gee whiz, wouldn't you think it would be considered desirable to have maximum participation in an event that presumably encourages and reinforces devotion to MMY? Wouldn't having one's devotion to him refreshed by such an event tend to reduce any impulse to see other saints? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Susan" <wayback71@...> wrote: > > Doug, I am really sorry you could not attend Maharishi's Birthday event in > the Dome.
