Hi Richard The thing is that quoting facts is better than heresay. My bio of Maharishi many, many verbatim quotes that even many TM teachers had not heard before. However, because there is a lot of frustrated individuals who have yet to offer any original research, they resort to personal attacks. I have read your research on Sri Vidhya & the early history of the movement etc and it interests me. But none of the posters who are so prone to vitriolic outbursts have produced any research at all, just billowing hot-air, and sometimes polluted at that.
That I produce wodges of quotes from Maharishi, Guru Dev, Satyanand, & Charlie Lutes seems to be of no value to these so-called defenders of Maharishi and TM. They seem to think they will earn their laurels by being anti-Paul Mason? Whatever! But at the end of the day, they know they have contributed nothing worthwhile for their cause. So, it is sour grapes, and those who really have something to contribute to the story are happy to exchange cordial emails with me. Jay Gurudev --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Richard J.
