So why didn't Maharishi teach us mantra shastra? I see nothing wrong
with Paul's investigative reporting. However I believe I have suggested
to him in the past to go visit some of the Indian tantrics and/or
astrologers who reside in the UK and get their opinion on the TMO and
traditional teachings. I think it would provide an even deeper
understanding.
