There are many people here like that. Sadly most have quited down
since the tone of this list turned sour.
For example, I know of several people who took their TM mantra and
got the full mantra from Amma (for free). And it was a major upgrade
for them. Even others went on to receive full initiation into the
devata herself, either her tantra, her mandala or her yantra. There
are dozens of variations on this theme (all unique, important and
beautiful), but if you think TM is the be all and end all, you're
sadly mistaken. TM is completely portable if you have the right
teacher and the courage to move beyond a sect. IMO, those who took
what they found useful and left the rest behind are the healthiest.
