Doug ("Buck") obviously has pretty low standards when it comes to charisma.
Based on my own experience -- both with Maharishi and with other teachers since
-- I would have to say that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi had about the same level of
charisma as my plumber. And my plumber charges less.

Jeezus X-mas, Not at all Charismatic? You evidently did not get to spend
much time around Maharishi.
That's a pity.
This is a good working definition of charismatic .. .
"Weber, in an oft quoted passage, defined charisma as a certain quality of an
individual
personality, by virtue of which [s/]he is set apart from ordinary [people] and
treated as
endowed with supernatural, superhuman, or at least specifically exceptional
powers or
qualities. These are such as are not accessible to the ordinary person, but are
regarded as
of divine origin or as exemplary, and on the basis of them the individual
concerned is
treated as a leader." 1

Thanks, Nablusoss, wonderful to hear Maharishi who's not at all charismatic.
And I mean that as a great compliment. I think he doesn't have to be because
he's speaking the plain truth.
