I think it's insane to pay the price for what should really have been
given as part of the basic technique. I'd look elsewhere and seek to
preserve the integrity of your personal practice, all the while
deepening your own practice. For example, one can receive the
*entire* mantra for your TM devata mantra from Amma (or many other
sources). Sri Sri Ravi Shankar teaches one of the (IMO) very, very
important advanced techniques as part of his basic meditation
technique I am told, so that's an inexpensive way to get that
technique--and of course SSRS has a lineal connection to the TMO.
That's the nice thing about lineage: there's always more than one
person you can go to for answers. The Age of Enlightenment technique
is really just a traditional Hindu meditation used daily by many
devout Hindus, albeit somewhat watered down. If this type of thing
appeals to you, I'd suggest finding an old "uncertified" independent
governor (who far out number the certified ones!) who can give you
the technique and then make a donation to your favorite charity.
You really have a lot of options--and many of them will lie outside
the TM movement or use independent teachers.
