Maharishi, in my view, has an excellent "feel" for what parts of INdian tradition fit together well in his umbrella structure of "Maharishi's Vedic Science." His ability to articulate this, combined with his fame, allowed him to bring together a lot of prominent Ayurvedic practitioners and scholars. Chopra, by his own account in _Return of the Rishi_, atthe time he was working for the TMO, did not have this credibility, fame or intuitional feel for things, regardless of what he or others may claim now, so to suggest that *Chopra* brought Ayurvedic knowledge into the TMO is just plain silly and is not backed up either by Chopra's own formal tellingo f the storyin _Rishi_ or any movement rumor that I ever heard. ------------------------ Yahoo!
