An inexpensive health club will cost about 600-1000 a year, year after year after year. Thats at least: 6000 in ten years. > > And no, if people don't want to give up their cafe lattes for "Vedic > knowledge", they don't have to - they shouldn't have to! > Yes they should. <They've got > free will.

Just curious.>>> I am not a TrueRu like all you people, TNB's included. And, yes, I help with TM to the degree I can, but I am not a TM- teacher, and feel I can help more in other ways at the moment. For example, explaining to people that TM is only $3.70 for 2 years....the price of a cafe-latte, or a couple of coffees at the gas station. You are completely out of touch with reality if you think most people cannot learn, lower middle-class and above, at the very least. As my income improves the more I intend to spread the word that TM is only $3.70 a day. OffWorld ------------------------ Yahoo!
