    TM is the brain-child of Gurudev Brahmananda Sarasvati.
 
    But others methods I don't know.  I suppose a little bit of Snake-oil is necessary to grease the wheels of a big movement.??

Forget being "positive"...what I couldn't stand was virtually every brochure that came out of MIU had happy, smiling faces...very Stepford Wives-ish.  I was at MIU at the time and --speaking for my friends and I -- we stayed as far away as possible from the few on campus that did actually smile that much (and that little demographic had a disproportionately high number of mental breakdowns).

I honestly don't think that happens much these days in the TM
Movement, Tantra.  Why?  Because the nuttiness that is coming down
from Vlodrop-in-the-sky is occurring so often and is SO undefendable
that even the most hard-core True Believer is hapless in his ability
to defend it.

From Kings weighed in gold to CIA comments to I-speak-only-to-those-
with-Vastu to Damn-democracy, a little negativity from the troops is
actually a welcome respite: at least some cynicism, skepticism and
negativity from meditators is something in the realm of rationality
and, as such, can be dealt with by a rational mind.  Vlodrop
proclamations leaves the most devoted of the initiators and
governors scratching their heads and first trying to figure out what
the hell is going on themselves before they would even hope to
answer a question from a regular meditator about it.

Speaking of proclamations: remember back in the '70s when the TMO
lobbied for and got all those State and US Congressional
Proclamations?  And how the TMO (read: Maharishi) thought that they
were actually worth the paper that they were written on and
publicized them?  Well, as embarrassing as that was then and as much
as we all rolled our eyes, well, by comparison to what's going on
today, it seems like the good 'ole days.
