The only center I spent any appreciable amount of time in was Cambridge. I never saw many Indians there, just a few who came for group program on occasion and a few who were brought in to be staff for the short-lived MVU school that was around maybe twelve years ago. The MVU cook was sent back to India after he slapped a lady governor cook in the kitchen, by the way. But the Cambridge center closed in July 1998, and a lot of young Indians came to this area after July 1998 to fulfill the US's legacy of being the first country in history to sell out its own labor force, and they might have been interested in being active with a dynamic TM center. There's no way to know, but I think there would have been a higher participation of Indians in TM had the movement been as interesting to be a part of as it was in the 70s and 80s. > While you may feel uncomfortable about walking into > an AOL center or lecture > of some sort, try it and see what you see.

I would not feel at all uncomfortable walking into an AOL center, but I am quite content with what I have now, which is VortexHealing, a shamanic technique, and two darshans a year when Ammachi comes to Boston in July. That's my sadhana these days, and I have no interest at all in doing techniques from India. Been there, done that, and gone on to much more powerful stuff. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > In a message dated 6/30/06 7:46:50 P.M.
