I guess it's the words "Maharishi is nothing other than..." in the question that rather strongly imply exactly such a construction. If MMY is "NOTHING OTHER THAN an opportunistic, self- promoting maverick, who wilfully misleads his supporters and anyone else who has the time, the inclination and the money to listen to him," that really doesn't leave a whole lot of room for good intentions. If you'd prefer readers not to draw that inference, perhaps you might consider a bit of rewriting of the question. > > --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], "Paul Mason" <premanandpaul@> > > wrote: > > > > > > Although I believe that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has used deceptive > > means > > > to spread the teaching of transcendental meditation, I am > confident > > > that his motives have been well intended.
