So, what are the statistics - how many people started TM and how many 
fraud, sex-crimes, murder and suicide were committed since 1955? From 
what I've read millions of people have tried TM and we know of one 
murder and maybe a few frauds, but how many events can be directly 
caused by practicing the TM  basic meditation? Go figure.
