Nothing wrong with that, as far as it goes, but what some followers of Maharishi don't get is that just because it is right for Maharishi, doesn't mean it is right for them. Maharishi is an individual, just as we are all individuals. Nothing wrong with the practice either- First, become brainwashed by the Guru, talk like the Guru and walk like the Guru. Then go out in the world and become your Self; become the Universality expressed as you, not Maharishi. Some get stuck in the Guru parrot phase. Others get stuck in the anti Guru parrot phase.
