There is no "TM" - that's just an acronym made up by the Maharishi. Meditation simply means "to think things over." Based on the definition of meditation, almost everyone on the entire planet thinks! Nobody could go a single day without once or twice pausing to take stock of their own

Preciselybesides there seems to be differing opinions on what's "spiritual". Also, I question the completeness of TM as a technique leading to Enlightenment. It might be a good start but I haven't seen much evidence that it activates the Kundalini and opens the chakras, especially the ajna
