It's not about the numbers. It's that one of these
two teachers of meditation is still teaching
meditation.

  meditation.

As was pointed out, AOL's focus is the pranayama technique. However,
they do teach a meditation technique as well. I learned it about 12
years ago, and the puja sounded just like the one used in TM
initiations, the mantra given to me was one that is found on the
various online TM mantra lists, and the technique instruction was
basically the same as TM.

As for my AOL experience, I liked the people in the org; they struck
me as having a lot more heart than TB TMers. However, the
hyperventilation pranayama was not to my liking, and the new mantra
was never as charming to my mind as the old TM mantra. My impression
of seeing SSRS in person is that he answers questions with giggles and
spiritual-speak non sequiturs. All in all, not my cuppa.

Of course, his primary focus, from what people have said, isn't TM, but his own 
breathing 
technique. Is he claiming that all 25 million have learned meditation, or 
learned his breathing 
technique?

If its meditation, than that would imply, from what others have said, that 
possibly 50 or 75 
million people have learned his breathing technique.

Regarding the puja sounded just like the one used in TM initiations, 
the puja used in the TM initiation is composed of many traditional pujas 
including the guru puja.  Many Indians perform these daily.  It's just 
ashame that MMY never taught westerners some of the culture and 
traditions that are common in India.

As for my AOL experience, I liked the people in the org; they struck

Convincing people they want to learn and *continue practicing* is difficult.

Actually it's about the numbers, at least as far
as Vaj is concerned--because otherwise he wouldn't
have, you know, posted the numbers.
