In India, SSRS is definitely the hot thing meditation wise. A case could be made that there will be fewer initiations due to the recert program. Do you know any recerts actually teaching tm? I don't - they're all doing real estate projects. Plus subtract the initiations not happening due to legal pressure coming down on the non certifiables. Anyway, does national release these figures? I last I heard the annual number was a few hundred. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
