MJ, did you miss that this was a spiritual revival movement in a muddy world filled with vasana? I feel you are being too hard on how he did it and what all we did. Like, was Christ perfect in everything? Never stubbed his toe? We could surely use some help changing the world to a better place. Give up this negativistic POV and come back to meditation with us. -Buck

I was there at Jones Hall and it was just absolutely amazing - you could have heard a pin drop in that hall and everyone was hanging on his every word; the audience was spell-bound with the whole scene. I have this lecture on VHS tape and have watched it numerous times over the years. Incredible lecture! A must see for every TMer: 'Maharishi - A Promise for the Family of Man' Historic Lecture at Jones Hall, Houston, TX http://youtu.be/k3swI5n_mW0 http://youtu.be/k3swI5n_mW0 On 12/4/2013 7:20 PM, Buck wrote: Thanks, that is wonderful to hear again [the Youtube clip in your post]. I honor how 'on message' he was throughout his life. Teaching. He gave a lecture very like this one of 1972 even within a few months of his death. Remarkably on message. He was a remarkable sat guru, guru on the roadways of the world. Of Life in the body a promise for the family of humankind. I miss him, -Buck
