I am sorry, but the removal of TM from the mysticism and traditions of the

Thanks for your replys, apparantely it's just between you and I. Yes I am just

And TM really is "yoga lite" and a mere shadow of what can be learned elsewhere.
So exactly what is "that" which is the "Sun" to TM's "mere" shadow?
Well Pundit Bill, you're an expert on the Vedas so you should know. You
should also then know that TM is just "a meditation for the masses."
For that shanti mantras are generally given. And as you know Maharishi
originally just gave a shanti mantra. Also in real systems instead of
parrots
Why do you think it is a mistake in the TM message? Some people aren't going to

Not all disciplines emphasize practicing meditation twice a day. Some
