I am told by one close friend, a physician trained in the movement, Chopra's one book on ayurveda was written by two other popular movement docs--presumably with their permission, to 'get the knowledge out'. It was just polished, edited and published. On Feb 17, 2006, at 9:21 AM, feste37 wrote: Bob B has a point. I remember reading one of Chopra's books and being  shocked at how he used not only MMY"s ideas but also MMY's exact phrases.  There was not an original thought in the book, and yet nowhere was there any  acknowledgement of MMY. I remember seeing somewhere later that he said  he did this because, since he and the movement had split, he didn't want to  embarrass them by mentioning MMY in his books. But that seemed to me a  poor excuse. For me, it was a matter of proper acknowledgement of debts and  sources -- what you would expect from any honest writer.  Chopra is often  described as a "thinker," but it was MMY who supplied him with the thoughts  that he later used to become rich and successful. He owes almost everything  to MMY, in my opinion.  To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
