Made even more interesting in light of the assertion of Deepak Chopra that
Marshy himself was poisoned some years ago, with Deepak of course cast in the
role of savior, or co-savior perhaps

Indeed. And it was put forward by the infamous Buddhist that used to post here,
Vaj.
Of course it was rubbish but it comes from the same sort of place that the
other rumours have, the place where Marshy has to be a superman, obviously it's
more inspiring if your guru has amazing powers like walking on water. That's
why they invent these stories, it makes the decision to follow him to be a more
important one than just choosing a type of meditation. Divine assurance perhaps.
But I don't think Vaj invented it, it was part of Earl Kaplan's letter and he
got it from whatever source in India he spoke to. I felt a bit sorry for him
because he got duped by one cult and ran straight into the arms of another. I
hope he's got some smarts at last and realised there is no authority but
yourself.

Whatwas the most absurd TM rumor you ever heard?

The most absurd rumor I ever heard was on aninternet discussion group.
The rumor posted claimed that the Maharishi had murdered hismaster SBS, by
poisoning his food in a conspiracy with theJyotirmath Ashram cook.
The motive apparently was for the Mahesh Yogi to get SBS'sspecial ring and
ruby-encrusted yantra. And, with a forged will,the cook would get the
Shankaracharya highchair at the UpperKashi.
As far as rumors go, it is going to bedifficult to top this one.

Thiswould be something that was not part of the official TMcannon, nor any of
the majorly accepted ones (likeMarshy's enlightened, TM brings enlightenment or
yogicflying brings world peace)
I amtalking about the boundless rumors we all heard oncourses and in TM
facilities and from TM old timers.
Minewould I think have to be the idea that having animalsaround when you are
meditating drains your energy. Thatone supposedly came from Marshy himself but
who knows.
Otherthan that it would be Claire Baxter's classic nevermeditate with your hair
wet because the stress yourelease comes out of your crown chakra, and if your
hairis wet the stress slides down your hair and goes intoyour lower spine.
Iinclude that one second, just because I only heard itfrom that one person and
the animal energy drain was oneI heard a lot from lots of different people.
Howbout yours? Most absurd TM rumor?
