Yes, anyone who has taken any semblance of a TM program -- teacher training, whatever -- should be familiar with that fact as it appears in the "official" Guru Dev picture sanctioned for use with the puja. Nevertheless, the movement should know that the public doesn't know that and should be sensitive enough NOT to use it other than with the Guru Dev photo. As I've pointed out before on either this forum or amt, prior to WWII, all state highway signs in Arizona had the swaztika on it as it is an ancient symbol of either the Navajo or the Hopi (can't remember which ) who also, by the way, have an eastern-facing entrance for all their buildings as well. ------------------------ Yahoo!
