I think you are right.The TMO is more and more like a Religion mixed with Non-Democratic Ideas. I think it is hard for a true Muslim and other Religions to accept that. And also people who want Democracy. It seems that TM as an easy, effortless technique to release stress and strain, is over-shadowed by all this weird things. When I do the Puja as a part of the Initiation, I explain that this belong to an old Tradition, because TM belongs to an old Vedic Tradition. Everybody accept it. What people is reacting on, is the Rajas, the Focus on money, among lot of other things. Ingegerd > ------------------------ Yahoo!
