It looks like we reached the point where Judy won't even admit ownership
of her own words. It just doesn't get much better than this! Go figure.
So, let's look it up:
"In 30 years, I've never heard a TMer say anything about repeating the
mantra when they are asleep, nor have I ever heard a TM teacher mention it."

"...the TM mantras are *not* the names of the Hindu gods. The Hindu gods
have perfectly good names of their own."

So, I wonder what SBS had to say about istadevata and the bija mantras?
"Apply your body and wealth mainly, and your mind secondarily, to run
the vyavahara. When the mind is mainly engaged in thinking of God, you
shall receive His grace. The experience of the Bhaktas also goes to
prove this declaration of the Lord. People are unhappy because they do
not have a chosen deity (Ishta). Without Ishta, people turn out to be
orphans. It is only Ishta that saves one from anishta (untoward
happenings). Of the five Deities - Shankara, Vishnu (Ram, Krishna),
Surya, Ganesh and Devi, whosoever is more adorable to you, the mantra of
that Deity should be repeated by you every day. You must get to know the
mantra of your Ishta, and the method of dhyan (meditation) thereof,
through an experienced Satguru and somehow or other, devote some time
every day in japa of the Ishta mantra and dhyan. Through japa,
Realisation (Siddha) will result. There is no doubt about this. "JAPAT
SIDDHIR JAPAT SIDDHAIR JAPAT SIDDHIR NASAMSAYAM." To apply your mind to
your Ishta is abhyasa. To constantly think of Ishta, meditate on it,
talk always about it, and think always about it, this is abhyasa."
Swami Brahmanand Saraswati Ji, Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math [1941 – 1953]

Well, I guess we could look it up:
"Note to newbies: Willytex, aka pundit, punditster, punditmoderator,
etc., spouts a great deal of absolute nonsense. Nothing he says about
TM (or about much of anything else, but especially* TM) is to be taken
seriously. Just for example, the TM mantras are *not* the names of the
Hindu gods. The Hindu gods have perfectly good names of their own."
