Underscores the bs hypocrisy of the Movement. If a regular TM teacher pulled a stunt like that he would be cast into outer darkness by the TMO - barred from future WPA's and any other courses, the TMO would be very careful to tell the world that such a deal was NOT TM and you had to have the properly chosen mantra and so forth. But because Brand is giving them such publicity he can visit with the Dalai Lama, schmooze with the Hare Krishnas and get away with it. What a bunch of disingenuous asses, what a bunch of schmoes. -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 4/10/14, Mike Dixon <[email protected]> wrote:

I watch that Russell character, you know the hip hop dude, teaching TM on some talk show a week or two ago. Gave everybody the mantra Ram. Maharishi was rolling over in his ashes.

Looks like Lindsay Lohan is about to learn TM. We find this out on a call to Oprah on the Late Show with David Letterman. David Letterman - Dave and Lindsay Lohan Call Oprah Published on Apr 9, 2014 Lindsay and Dave phone Oprah Winfrey to find out how things are going with Lindsay. 1:48 – 2:00 Oprah says, "Dave, you should be doing okay, cuz the last time I was there we discovered that we have the same meditation teacher, and now Lindsay’s doing meditation too.” (She’s learning about TM, Intro-Prep, and is about to start.) Dave: Meditation Bob. Lindsay: Bob Oprah: Meditation Bob. Lindsay: Bob Dave: You know what else, you know what else Oprah? Oprah: What? Dave: That I switched to now that is really fantastic? Oprah: What? Dave: Scientology (David jokes) Laughter Lindsay (surprised, laughs): Oh goodness gracious. Let’s go back to meditation. 4. Speaking about Meditation Bob, he’s featured in Manhattan Magazine this month: Transcendental Inspiration. Bob says: "Cristina Cuomo is the editor of Manhattan magazine—a glossy magazine for the uberwealthy in New York City. She is married to Chris Cuomo, a CNN news anchor, and the sister-in-law to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cristina started meditating last summer in the Hamptons and absolutely loves TM and loves the work of the David Lynch Foundation. She asked me to write something up for the magazine and sent a photographer. I had no idea it would be so well placed…" Editor-in-Chief Cristina Cuomo writes in her Editor’s Note April 2014, quoting E. B. White’s 1949 book, Here is New York: “New York is the concentrate of art and commerce and sport and religion and entertainment and finance, bringing to a single compact arena the gladiator, the evangelist, the promoter, the actor, the trader and the merchant. It carries on its lapel the unexpungeable odor of the long past, so that no matter where you sit in New York you feel the vibrations of great times and tall deeds…” In this epicenter that White outlines, all that is as true today as it was more than six decades ago. And in this, our annual Men’s Issue, we here at Manhattan hope to capture all those figures with our own dashes of history, fanfare and, above all, style. Our modern-day evangelist comes in the form of a quiet, self-reflective, inspired (and inspiring) man—Transcendental Meditation master Bob Roth, who, in our Datebook column, writes about the health benefits to society of the simple act of meditation. She goes on to describe the other representatives described by White, some personal friends of hers. Read more: http://modernluxury.com/manhattan/story/editors-note-april-2014.
