Maybe not so successful in those terms as has been discussed here a bit. I often find people who have done other programs stick with those longer but then that is because those programs were really for people interested in learning more about yogic techniques and philosophy. Something between a lite meditation program for the masses and being a guru's disciple. TM has nothing for these people. Being a tantric disciple is not for everyone. It is a serious discipline and probably best undertaken at a young age before becoming a full fledged householder. Part of my training was understanding the various programs, commonality and differences with their programs for the masses including TM.

FWIW, e.g. (especially) adult people who hardly know Latin alphabet are not best candidates for starting to study, say, Sanskrit?? ;-) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu noozguru@... wrote: On 07/21/2013 02:26 PM, nablusoss1008 wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu noozguru@ wrote: On 07/21/2013 10:16 AM, srijau@ wrote: http://psychcentral.com/lib/transcendental-meditation-what-is-it-and-how-does-it-work/0008075 I have a friend who is a tenured professor of psychology and could probably write a really good book comparing different forms of meditation because he has practiced a variety of them including TM (and also learned TM-Sidhis).
