MMY has an organization to teach TM, Maharishi Ayurveda, the TM- SIdhis, etc., that he wants to survive after he dies. Whether or not it does is another question, but do you think that the meditation technique that people learn to teach in a 6-day intensive, no matter how valid it may be, is going to survive unchanged overthe years, given the cavalier way in which CHopra changes his tune about what is or isn't a valid meditation technique? ------------------------ Yahoo!
