The transcript of the 1952 speech was sourced in India by a friend in 1974, some years prior to the adoption of the 'sidhi' spelling by the TM-Sidhi techniquers. The other typos were also present in the transcript. Whilst re-typing the transcript I inadvertently left out the opening line of the speech. Both the 'missing line' and adjustments to the typos are included in the full transcript displayed at the following:- http://www.paulmason.info/gurudev/sources/text/Maheshspeech.htm --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, at_man_and_brahman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Who typed this?
