Quoting: "Each guru has a well-defined set of followers. There are
hardly any overlaps and fewer instances of cannibalization where one
guru weans away followers from another. For example, one would be
hard-pressed to find, say, a follower of both Sri Sri Ravishankar and
Osho. Or of a Baba Ramdev and Mata Amritanandamayi. Each segment is
uniquely defined. "
No, how about TM being a gateway towards universalism as they grow
out of the TMorg and Maharishi? Evidently, see the directory of
active spiritual practice groups in FF, for instance. TM moved on.
Out there in the world too is a whole TM movement that went on to sit
with other gurus in serial. Now, the old experienced meditating
community in Fairfield is quite adept at this. It has moved on. In
our own experience with it this has come to be what makes Fairfield
such a special place to be in spiritually. The old State of Iowa
marketing motto has a lot of truth in it: "Iowa, a place to grow".
There in fact has been a lot of cross-pollenation between groups and
Gurus. Look at who actually are around the gurus administrating and
often making the Gurus, often it has been us, the meditators of the
old TM movement.
