Why does everyone assume that the model that MMY developed must be the only
model that the TM organization can use?
The David Lynch Foundation does just fine getting new and old-time celebrities
to support the cause, and just because you don't see the new wave that is

That's 5+ million people who never would have heard of MUM otherwise.

*any* of the leaders or "celebrity spokespersons" of the TM movement in any way
charismatic or confidence-inspiring. Show photos of them to anyone under 30,
straight off the street, and they'd laugh at you for considering them worthy of
attention, much less worthy of being "followed" in a spiritual context. Young,
dynamic people don't "follow" people who look like this:
