Chopra himself said this, including for a time after he left the movement, until the TMO asked him not to attribute anything he taught to MMY. I think there is a case to be made that Chopra's mind- body theories and approach to Ayur-Veda were very firmly grounded in MMY's teaching, in particular about the value of pure consciousness in mind-body medicine. FWIW, I'm not a fan of Chopra either. He had begun to go off the rails of MMY's teaching into a species of moodmaking well before he left the movement. Whether that had anything to do with his leaving, I'm not sure. But it's my distinct impression that the complaint that Chopra doesn't give MMY credit for what he teaches is unfair, given that the TMO apparently insisted that he stop mentioning MMY as the inspiration for his own teaching. > The only person who has a right to feel plagiarized is dr. candace > pert who conducted the studies underlying most of chopra's work, and > she seems to be on good terms with him. > To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
