From: "Bhairitu [email protected] [FairfieldLife]" <[email protected]> For the record, I've met a number of Indian mystics who wouldn't share the opinion either. But we do have to keep in mind that Indians tend to have a bad habit of hyperbole. Tell me about it. If TM TBs only knew that what they know as "the Absolute" was MMY's hyperbolic mistranslation into English of the Sanskrit word for "better than most stuff." :-)

Written accounts of conversations with Swami Lakshmanju include the following comments about Maharishi: "If you ask me, Maharishi's teaching starts where mine ends and it goes from there to Infinity." Then he added, "Maharishi is the greatest saint to walk the Earth in ten thousand years!" #yiv9573985483 #yiv9573985483 -- #yiv9573985483ygrp-mkp {border:1px solid
