Sometimes we would have group meetings where individuals would share their

to really cough, likely from inhaling incense or camphor smoke.
The remedy? Taking the water offering container which still was

What are the funniest stories from your
days in the TMO?
Well, the funniest 'TMO Puja' story' for me
actually happened on the a.m.t Google Group.
Everyone knows that the TM puja ingredients
consist of water, sandalwood powder, camphor,
fruit, flowers, and a white hankie.
Two of the jokes on standard TM speak I enjoyed the most:
Instead of saying, Jai Guru Dev at the conclusion of group meditation,
saying, Jai Edgar Hoover.
Also, back when MUM was called MIU, I enjoyed calling it the Maharishi
International House Of Pancakes, or MI-HOP.:-)

I remember back in the day, during the Merv wave, a lot
of initiations were taking place. One Saturday evening,
after the last person was initiated and left to meditate, those who were
involved...teachers, helpers, etc., decided to go out to dinner.
Unfortunately they forgot about the last
Ha-Ha- wonder if that encouraged or discouraged them??

Hi Nablusos, You know that expectation we all have when someone starts to say
something, and then we finish the phrase in our minds, and they say something
else instead? That is why both of these things tickle me. I mean no disrespect
for either of them. I would love to tell them my jokes!
Before group meditation we had a group checking. The teacher asked
when we open our eyes whether we had any thoughts. This woman shook
her head to signify no. So we closed our eyes again. He asked
again. She said she had no thoughts. He did this on and on and
eventually told he she was

Lovely, thanks. And yes; do get a personal checking !
You are welcome.

Your utter comfort is a good thing, it spills over also to me.
It is also a fascinating phenomena. As a very young child She spoke to me

I had a guy show up for initiation smelling of alcohol and probably drunk. I
wasn't sure if he was sober enough to be initiated but I initiated him. He came
for the first night of checking smelling of alcohol. I asked him to see me
after the meeting and he ducked out. Never saw him again. Poor
