Why is that? MMY didn't invent meditation. As I understand, Chopra's meditation the mantras are selected by jyotish chart. and "The Chopra Center maintains its connection to the Vedic traditions of India through a direct relationship to the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Swami Vasudevananda Saraswati Maharaj." Ironically, I think thats the TM supported one who is banned from using Shankarachara name for "fund-raising" and public appearances. ------------------------ Yahoo!
