Actually it probably has *zero* significance. "Mahesh" is a very common name in India. > What kind > of "maharishi" or, for that matter, "yogi" charges $3000 for > spiritual initiation?

Also, I suspect, because he does not want any of his own mistakes to be attributed to Guru Dev. <snip> > We only have Mahesh's word for it that his so called "peers" gave > him the title of "maharishi". When did Maharishi say this?? Did you misread something in one of the posts, perhaps? That was what Peter Klutz said he understood (see the post quoted below). But I've never heard anything other than that his early students gave him that title (as appears to have been the case with Ramana Maharshi as well). > So it's just a lot of time-wasting silliness, isn't it.

No, actually the question is the appropriate way to refer to MMY in a supposedly informational Wikipedia article on Transcendental Meditation. You appear to have completely missed the context of the discussion.
